A POP3 compliant email program (Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora and Netscape mail) and several others. Who needs eNetBot Mail?

You need eNetBot if you want to read your AOL mail from a different email program which has features that you want and the AOL email client doesn?t have.
AOL uses a proprietary format for sending and receiving email. The POP3 compliant email programs cannot access the AOL mail server to receive and send email. So, the only option available before for AOL users was to use the email client provided by AOL to access their email. eNetBot is the only product which lets any email program access your AOL account.
Can eNetBot help me with other programs that don’t work with AOL?
You can use eNetBot to use internet based programs that required a POP3 or SMTP server. eNetBot includes a POP3 and SMTP gate that can act as a POP3/SMTP server for any program trying to interact with it. The POP3/SMTP mail server you need to specify is aol.eNetBot.com.
eNetBot waits as a background process on your Windows PC waiting for requests from your email program. Once a request is received, eNetBot establishes a connection with the AOL server and retrieves your email. Passwords are sent in a secure manner using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). eNetBot consumes very little of your PCs system resources and will not affect any other programs.

eNetBot Mail is available only for the Windows
based PC’s (Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows NT4/Windows 2000)
