After editing the config file, you can go into the AtomJump popup. To read the full expanded email, you must be an owner of the forum: Click settings->Advanced->This forum's private owners, and copy and paste your myMachineUser value e.g. "192.100.101.53:420".

Click on a user's name, write a message and click 'Send to [their name]' to email them. You will also be BCC'ed into any outgoing emails, so that you have a record of this outgoing message in your ordinary inbox.

To email a new user: include an email address in the body of your message. For AtomJump Messaging Server >= 1.6.2, you need the word 'email:' before it.

Your popup will be auto-updated with new incoming email messages every five minutes.
