Click on the button below to start the download. Depending on the
browser you use, the window that appears will be different.
Just save the file in a location you can remember.
(For more detailed download instructions, select your browser
Internet Explorer or
Netscape)
You can continue to the next step after the file has completed downloading.
After the file has completed downloading to your computer, find the file and
double-click it to begin the installation. Just follow the instructions that
appear on the screen to install eNetBot Mail on your PC.
For more detailed installation instructions, click here.
The installation program should have already launched eNetBot Mail
for you. You should see this icon 
in the system tray (at the bottom right corner of the computer screen).
If you do not see this icon, you can launch eNetBot Mail by double clicking on
the eNetBot mail icon on your computer desktop.
Please remember that eNetBot Mail will have to be running on your
PC. You can verify if its running by the existence of the above icon in the
system tray.
The next step is setting up an account (or accounts
for all screen names) with your email program. We have provided instructions
for the procedure of creating a mail account for the following programs.
In case the mail client of your choice is not listed above or
you do not need the detailed instructions, the primary information required for
setting up an account is given below:
Username :
your AOL screen name
Password :
your AOL password
POP3 Server : aol.enetbot.com
SMTP Server :
aol.enetbot.com
This step is required for sending mail through the AOL server.
eNetBot Mail uses secure authentication for sending mail using AOL
servers. The email clients do not provide this information while forwarding
your email through eNetBot. Using secure authentication also serves to
eliminate spammers from using eNetBot to post spam.
Add your AOL screen name(s) and passwords using the Account
editor provided in the eNetBot mail control panel
A. Double click on the eNetBot icon in the system tray or it can
be accessed through the popup-menu by right clicking and selecting eNetBot
control panel in the Popup menu.

If you do not see this icon
in the system tray (at the bottom right corner of the computer screen), you can
launch eNetBot Mail by double clicking on the eNetBot mail icon on your
computer desktop. |

B. Select Tools menu in eNetBot >> Account
editor(Sending Mail)
The dialog shown below will appear.
C. Click on the Add
button and the dialog shown below will appear.
D. Enter you AOL screen name (the address from which you will be
sending email). Enter the password for the screen name and click OK
. Example: If your screen name is bob123, then the information you enter will
be:
Screen Name : bob123
Password : bob123's AOL password
Confirm Password : bob123's AOL password
E. Follow steps C and D again for entering additional screen names
from which you want to be able to send email.
Note about security
This information collected by eNetBot is held securely
(encrypted) on YOUR PC and is sent ONLY to AOL while authenticating your
outgoing mail with the AOL server. [Note: Outgoing mail cannot be sent if
the screen names you plan to use in the email client(s) are not entered here
too]
The AOL password provided by you will NOT be used by eNetBot for
any other purpose than to authenticate your outgoing mail with AOL.
Establish a connection to the internet using either AOL or any other ISP - or
if you have a permanent connection to the internet you can skip this step.
If you do not already have the mail program of your choice running - start
it.
Check for mail in the mail program. You should find a check mail or
Send/Receive menu in your mail program.
