My ISP requires that I check mail before sending? How can I use Qm?

Selecting "POP Before SMTP" as the authentication type in the Server Configuration dialog, will cause Qm connect to your mail server and log in before attempting to send a message. If you provide a username you only will be asked for your password when sending.

How do I setup Qm to work with my browser?

For Internet Explorer 5.5 and greater:
Newer versions of Internet Explorer have a configuration dialog that allows you to choose programs from a drop down list. Before you can select Qm for sending Internet mail, you must add it to the list.

1. The registry file qm.reg will add Qm to the list of e-mail clients in Internet Explorer. It assumes Qm resides in C:\Program Files\Qm. To make it work with your installation of Qm, open the file in Notepad (or any text editor) and change the paths listed under the following keys to point to Qm on your machine.

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\qm.exe]

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Qm\
   Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Qm\
   Protocols\mailto\Shell\open\command]

2. To import the file into the Registry simply double-click on it.

3. Once you have added Qm to the list of Clients in the registry, start Internet Explorer and select 'Internet Options' from the 'Tools' menu. Under the 'Programs' tab select Qm from the E-mail drop-down menu and click 'OK'. Clicking mailto: links in Internet Explorer should now launch Qm with the recipient address filled in.

For other browsers using Windows 95, 98, or Me:

1. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop
2. Select "Folder options" from the "View" menu and click the "File types" tab
3. Goto "URL:mailto protocol" and highlight it and click "Edit"
4. Highlight "Open" under "Actions" and choose "Edit"
5. "Browse" to Qm.exe and select it
