Description
InTray is a small utility to allow POP3 mail clients to talk to SMTP mail hosts.
I wrote this applet to pick up my mail from demon.net.
This is a 95 tray icon applet.

Below is a description for exchange but it should work for most mail clients

Configuring Exchange
Bit tricky this part, but basically I exploit the ability of Exchange to send/receive
mail from different hosts.
Configure Exchange to talk to local port 127.0.0.1 over the network, this will cause
Exchange to connect to a local (ie on your machine) POP3 Host.
To send mail - use the Advanced Options button to send mail to your SMTP mail server,
I use post.demon.co.uk. InTray does not interfere in sending mail.
I have Exchange setup to manually deleiver mail, so its a touch clunky.

Configuring InTray
Copy Intray.exe to a directory of your choice eg Program Files/AnarkSoft/InTray
Create sibling sub-directories for Mail and History.
Create a 'shortcut' in the StartUp folder or on the desktop to InTray.exe and make sure its running
when you go online.

What It Does
When you go online - your mail provider will attempt to deliver mail to an SMTP port
(25) on your system. InTray accepts this connection and dumps the mail as a file in
the Mail directory. If you receive 3 messages then 3 files will be created.

...Later - (not required to be online) you can run Exchange and this will talk to the
POP3 socket (110) and InTray will pass the files in the Mail directory to Exchange.
If you create a History directory then the file will be saved otherwise it will then
be deleted.

I have added support for multiple users...
Basically the files are now saved with the recipent as the extension.
Then when you connect only those files are returned.
ie all post for xxx@anarksof.demon.co.uk is save as tmp????.xxx then if you log on as
user xxx then all the mail with an extension of xxx will be picked up.
The special user 'postmaster' will get all the mail.
