Introduction

Befoo is a simple IMAP4/POP3 client for Windows.

It fetchesmail from plural mailbox, and shows summary with subject, sender and date.

Installation

You will copy the file "befoo.exe" to your application folder. If you want it to start automatically, right-click to select the settings menu, and check "Register in Startup" in the dialog that opens.

The previous version of "extend.dll" has been merged into "befoo.exe" and is no longer needed.

Settings

Befoo will read your settings from the file "befoo.ini". This file will be located in the user's local application data folder, or the same folder with the application.

At initial startup, it will be created in the local application data folder.

Each setting item can also be configured in the "Settings" dialog.

See below an example for "befoo.ini":
