Installing:
~~~~~~~~~~~
  Doubleclick the exe file and follow the Installation procedure.

  Make sure that you are correctly connected to the internet
  (dialup, if you use a modem).

  On the fist start, the properties window will appear. There you must set 
  values for at least one account by clicking the <New> button.

  You will be prompted for an Account Name.

  [POP3 Host address] is the name of your IPS's mailserver
  (e.g: pop.myprovider.com, mail.myprovider.com,...)

  Don't forget your UserId and Password.

  Finally, enable the Auto-Check feature and set the Check-Frequency, so 
  ANT 4 MailChecking will automatically connect.

  Click OK and the checker-field will turn white. Either double-click the
  white field or wait for the auto-check to connect to your server. The field
  will be blinking when connected. This can take a few seconds. After that,
  the field turns white again and shows the number of your new mails.
  Additionally the taskbar-icon has a red flag.

  You can right-click the checker field and select [EMail List] to bring up 
  a list of subject, sender and size for all new mails on that account.

  If the field turns red, you should check your properties.

  If you want to play a sound, when a new mail arrives, go to [Properties...]
  and [Sound]. Set [Playing Sound] to Incoming Mails and choose your account
  name in [Allow Sound].

Shareware:
~~~~~~~~~
  ANT 4 MailChecking is "Shareware".  This means that we have made the software available 
  to you for free evaluation.  You are entitled to evaluate the software for 30 days without 
  obligation to pay.  If you decide to keep the software after this period, you must register 
  your copy with us for a small fee. Please refer to the order.txt file for detailed ordering 
  instructions, or visit the ANT 4 MailChecking website.

  Shareware (non-registered) ANT 4 MailChecking is a "full-featured" release. This means 
  that the same capabilities available in the registered software are present in the 
  non-registered software.  This allows you to try out all the features in ANT 4 MailChecking 
  to confirm that they work to your satisfaction.  In fact, the non-registered software 
  includes a bonus feature - the shareware nag box.  This is an added incentive for users to 
  register the software rather than continue using it indefinitely without paying.
