Potable by USB memory

You should copy the file "befoo.exe" with the settings file "befoo.ini" to a folder in your USB memory.

Using OpenSSL

Now, we no longer need the OpenSSL. Befoo uses Windows native libraries for TLS/SSL connections.

For Google Apps email

You need to replace the @ mark to %40 in the user name that includes domain name, like below:

imap+ssl://[e-mail]/

The "Server settings" dialog do it automatically.

befoo - IMAP4 mail checker <http://sourceforge.jp/projects/befoo/>

Introduction:
-------------
Befoo is a simple IMAP4/POP3 client for Windows 2000 or later. It fetches
mail from plural mailbox, and shows summary with subject, sender and date.


Installation:
-------------
You will copy the file "befoo.exe", and "extend.dll" as necessary, to your
application folder. And you may make a shortcut in the startup folder.
The "extend.dll" provides the settings dialog box. If it didn't exist, you
need to edit your settings manually by Notepad.


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. See below an example for "befoo.ini":
