There are two ways to install PlexMailer. First you can download binaries for your respective operating system available at http://www.plexobject.com/software/plexmailer/download.html The other option is to install "Java Web Start" available freely from http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/download.html and then type http://www.plexobject.com:8080/plexmailer/plexmailer.jnlp on your browser. First method will be simpler for novice users. Also, make sure that if you are downloading the software without VM then download and install Java 1.4 from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html Also, make sure that if Java is already installed on your system then it is 1.4 or later, otherwise download Java 1.4 or later and reinstall.

1. Open shell such as DOS shell or bash
2. cd to the "lib" directory where PlexMailer.zip was unzipped. For example cd \PlexMailer\lib
3. Type java -jar StartPlexmailer.jar If you have Windows you can also create a shortcut to your desktop by
   • right-cliking on your desktop
   • select New
   • select shortcut
   • choose "Browse..." to go in bin directory such as "\PlexMailer\lib"
   • double-click StartPlexmailer.jar
   • click Next and type PlexMailer for shortcut-name
   • click Finish.

• opening shell (DOS/UNIX),
• then cd to PlexMailer/lib directory and
• executing following command:
  java -Xmx256m ../lib/StartPlexmailer.jar

For Java Web Start users, download http://www.plexobject.com/software/plexmailer/dist/plexmailer_lib.zip and then go to you PlexMailer directory and expand that zip file. It will create lib directory and will store all jar files in it. Then cd to the lib directory and type java -Dmailicep.configFile=../data/mailicep.properties -jar StartPlexmailerBayesianFilter.jar -i -g "good1,good2" -b "JunkFolder,bad1" Where good1 and good2 are the name of your folders that stores good emails. It will automatically include all of you INBOX, so you don't need to specify them.

1. Install PlexMailer
2. Start PlexMailer
3. Add Email Account Specify Proxy Port to any number or you can use default value. Write it down, you will need it later.
4. On Toolbar you will see Execution Mode, set it to Proxy Server
5. If you have more than one account then repeat step 3-5.
6. Leave the PlexMailer running
7. Start Outlook or Netscape
8. For Outlook users, select Accounts from Tools menu. For Netscape users, select "Mail & Newsgroups" from Tasks menu and then select "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" from Edit menu.
9. If you have not added added Accounts, add it.
10. Select email account and double click it
11. Change Incoming mail to "localhost"
12. Leave outgoing email server as it is.
13. For Outlook users, select Advanced tab and change Incoming mail port to the number you selected in step 4. For Netscape users, change Port when you see the "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" window. (By default port for POP email account is 110 and for IMAP is 143).
14. You can define rules for filtering or sorting messages in designated folders in PlexMailer. When you download messages in Outlook or Netscape, those messages will be automatically filtered. If any of the rules choose to delete the message, then that message will not be downloaded to the outlook/netscape.
15. PlexMailer allows setting or changing email headers, for example you can specify to set header "X-My-Header" to "whatever" when certain user defined rules match and then define rules in your email client to store those messages in designated folder.
16. You don't need to add password in PlexMailer, but you will need to specify in Outlook or Netscape.

PS: You can also use named-pipe instead of stdin pipe. All you need is to specify -n [pipe-name], e.g. java -jar StartPlexmailerRazorClient.jar -n namepipe check

PPS: There is also option to use socket to pass messages to the client, specify port as follows: java -jar StartPlexmailerRazorClient.jar -s port# check The razor client will listen on that port to receive email messages and process them accordingly.

• Open DOS Shell
• cd to PlexMailer/lib directory
• type java -Xmx512m -jar mailicep.jar
