The Send/Receive feature of VisiQuick must be configured to work seamlessly.

VisiQuick uses MAPI to send and receive e-mails (containing data with photos and patient information).
Only a few e-mail programs support MAPI:

• Microsoft Exchange (also called Microsoft Message)
  This program does not exist for Windows 3.x.
  It is very stable and has many features.
  However, it is rather slow to activate and uses lot's of memory.
  If your system only have 8MB, using Exchange will be very slow.
• QualComm's Eudora Pro 3.01 (Eudora Light has no MAPI)
  The 3.0 version does not work properly, but the 3.01 update is fine.
  The setting 'IdleTime' in the file eudora.ini must be set to zero:
  [Settings]
  IdleTime=0
  

VisiQuick uses MAPI in this way:

• Receiving
  VisiQuick opens MAPI and asks MAPI to connect to the host to get any new e-mails available.
  Then all e-mails in the Inbox are looked at:
  If the e-mail is un-read, and the subject text = %VQ%, then
  the e-mail is read. If there is a file attachment, it is imported just as if from a disk.
  Then the e-mail is left in the Inbox, but it is now read.
• Sending
  VisiQuick creates a temporary file 'visiquik.vqd' with all the data in it.
  Then VisiQuick opens MAPI and sends an e-mail with the subject text = %VQ% and the file attached to it.
  If you choose to use the Address book, VisiQuick asks MAPI to fill in the e-mail address.
  This means that you must enter the e-mail address in the proper field, or use the address book feature of your e-mail program.

If you have a file visiquik.vqd in any e-mail, it is normally possible to simply double-click it to have it imported in VisiQuick.
The first time you should probably associate the file type *.vqd with c:\visiquik\visiquik.exe.

The file visiquik.ini has a few settings that affect MAPI:

[MAPI]
User="MS Exchange default profile"
Password=

If you use MS Exchange, the User field should contain the name of the profile that you use. The Password field can be empty. If you leave the User field empty, Exchange will ask every time what profile you want to use to send/receive the message. The profile name that Exchange suggest can be entered in the User field. Then Exchange will no longer ask for it.

If you use Eudora Pro, you can leave both these fields empty.

Dialing

Depending on the way you already use your e-mail program, you might want to let the modem connection time be as short as possible.
You might want to let Exchange or Eudora Pro only dial the Internet host when actually sending/receiving e-mails, so the telephone line is used as little as possible.
