VIVID MAIL is designed for those who heavily rely on email in their business.

Or just prefer email to any other way of communication.

VIVID MAIL program is not trying to compete with such giants as Outlook 
Express, Outlook, Netscape etc. Instead it is viewed as very handy tool 

to be used between your email sessions. 

Let us say you are visiting your client. And you want to quickly check

your email. You are in very tricky situation. You cannot say: let me use 
your box, configure your email program, add new email account

to your list and check my emails. Not that many people like when 

somebody is mucking around with their emails. After all it can

have some private stuff. And even if you dare do this, you  

still have very hard decision to make – what to do with this account
of yours after. To delete it and show your clients that you do not

trust them or to leave it and let anybody read you emails any time 

he/she wants...

There is another option – you produce floppy, launch miniature  

VIVID MAIL program and get access to your emails.

So you do it without invading your client’s privacy and

without exposing yours.
Important thing is VIVID MAIL does not delete emails from 
the server by default. So you get them later with your main email
program when you are home.

 

Email settings

 

You need to configure your email account once. 
Good news if you use any standard email program,

you know how to do that. So you can even borrow those settings 

from your current email program. If it is Outlook Express, go Tools -> 

Accounts -> Properties -> Servers tab (or Advanced tab for ports).

 

If you like your password you can use it. Every now you get absolutely 
unbearable one from your Internet provider like dg34ivt876djer.

It is nothing next to impossible to remember such "word".

So VIVID MAIL offers a simple alternative.

In this case, or if you just want to use some easy to 
remember/type short password, you can employ the Password alias. 

VIVID MAIL expects you to type it each time 

you start the program. It is just for your security. You carry this 
program around so eventually you will forget it somewhere. 

Everybody does. Or you might want to leave this program on your
client's machine and not to worry that your emails have more
than one reader...
The logic here is simple – to be able to define/change 

that alias you should prove to the program that you are

legitimate user. So you have to login first time with your 

Internet provider's password and if it works – set-up alias.

You can redefine this alias as many times as you wish. 

The rule is the same – get your emails with your provider password 
or previous valid alias to prove that you are not a hacker 
and then define new alias.
