- SMTP e-mail account OR MAPI compliant email program
Internet
Connection
You need to be connected to the Internet to
use V3mail. Dial-up, ISDN, xDSL, Cable modem, T1, & LAN (local area
networks) are all ways to connect to the internet.
Sound
Card & Microphone
In order to create Voice messages on your
computer, you need a sound card & a microphone. Most computer systems have a
sound card installed. If you hear the Microsoft start sound (or any sound), then you
have a sound card installed on your computer. If not, you can get one quite cheap
from your local computer store. You'll also need a microphone to plug into the back
of your sound card which doesn't cost much either.
SMTP
e-mail account
A SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
e-mail account is an internet service provided by either your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) or a FREE internet service for sending emails. Almost every
ISP provides a SMTP e-mail account and will give you the name of the server (e.g.
smtp.ispname.com). This name is used to configure V3mail.
MAPI email
program
A MAPI compliant email program is one which
provides a MAPI interface for programs like V3mail to send emails through. Microsoft Exchange,
Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger & Qualcomm Eudora are
examples of MAPI compliant email programs.
Microsoft
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
V3mail runs on these operating
systems.
PC
video device*
A PC video device is an optional device
used to create Video messages or take image snapshots. The video device must be
Video for Windows (VfW) compatible, which most are. Common parallel port, USB, video
capture cards and other video devices work with V3mail.
* Optional - a video device allows creating Video Messages
& image snapshots. |
