AngeliaMailTM - On-Line Help - Getting Started
A free 30 day evaluation version of AngeliaMailTM is available for download. The file downloaded is a self exploding zip that contains a setup application which, when run, will install the necessary components of AngeliaMail on your system.
After installation, click on the "AngeliaMail Configuration" icon to run the desktop configuration utility. Running this utility will automatically create an evaluation license and empty configuration on your system (if no previous license is detected). Until an SMTP Host has been defined, starting the configuration utility will display the "AngeliaMail License Agreement" followed by the "Quick Start" information.
The "Quick Start" automatically launches the SMTP Host Connection Wizard which will assist you in configuring a connection to your SMTP EMail server. We recommend that you take advantage of the “Send Test Email” function provided to confirm that your SMTP Host has been defined correctly and that AngeliaMail is able to connect to your SMTP server and send email. An evaluation license allows only one SMTP host connection to be defined.
Once you have configured and tested an SMTP Host connection, we suggest that you create an Email group or two, save your configuration, and then create a default "AngeliaMail Command File".
To create an EMail Address Group select "Add A New EMail Address Group" from the "EMail Groups" selection dropdown group. Your "Group Name" must be a short (2 to 8 character) name that will be used when selecting the group in batch file command lines. Use the "Group Description" to provide a meaningful title that will show up in Configuration Utility lists. Press enter or click the "Ok" button to create your group. Then click the "Add A Member" button to add at least one member to your group. Provide an email address and description (usually the email address owner's name) and press the "Ok" button to add the member to the group. Remember to save your configuration to make your changes permanent.
To create a command file, select “Create An AngeliaMail Command File” from the “Command Wizard” selection dropdown group. Select your host, check an email group (or provide an email address that you can monitor), enter a subject line, a test message body, add an attachment if you wish, and select logging options. Click “Finish” and reply yes when asked if you want to create a default command file. Now you can test the AngeliaMail command line utility without the need for any command line parameters.
To test the AngeliaMail Command Line Utility, open a command window, or select “Start – Run” and type the full path of AngeliaMail executable file (by default, "C:\Program Files\AngeliaMail\AngeliaMail.Exe"). Press enter, and AngeliaMail should send an email to the address(es) you specified in your default Command File with the subject line and message body that you entered. Note that any of your Command File selections can be overridden or supplemented by supplying information on the command line. See the “AngeliaMail Command Line Utility” help topic for a detailed explanation of command line parameters.
