FAQ's From PopTray's Help File

Q1. Are PopTray plugins compatible with PopTrayU?
A1. Yes, at this time existing PopTray plugins should work as-is in PopTrayU. The plugin interface has not been changed.

        <p><b>Q2. Does the information on the PopTray forums still apply to PopTrayU?</b><br>
            <font color="#CC6633"><b>A2.</b></font> Answers to many questions on the <a href="http://forum.poptray.org">PopTray Forum</a> may be applicable to PopTrayU, unless it is in regards to a part of the application that has been changed. However, please use the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/poptrayu/">PopTrayU Website</a> (not the PopTray Forum) to report bugs relating to PopTrayU. </p>
        <p><b>Q3. Does PopTrayU support webmail (Hotmail,Yahoo,etc.)?</b><br>
            <font color="#CC6633"><b>A3.</b></font>

It depends. If your webmail provider has a POP3 interface available, yes. Otherwise, you will need to install a plugin specifically written to connect to your webmail provider. PopTrayU is compatible with PopTray plugins and some but not all major webmail sites are supported through plugins.



Q4. The reply/new buttons don't open the specified e-mail program.

A4. This is how PopTray was originally designed. Since it supports any e-mail
client, it cannot know how to specify a reply by just knowing the executable
file. Therefore it uses either a "mailto:" link, or Simple-MAPI (depending
on the option), which will open your default e-mail client. This functionality has not been changed.



Q5. Can I setup PoptrayU to run in a multi-user environment?

A5.
Yes. PopTrayU saves all its settings in the PopTray.ini file.
You can specify a different directory for the file on the command-line.
By using the command-line

"C:\Program Files\PopTrayU\PopTrayU.exe" "%USERPROFILE%"

or
"C:\Program Files\PopTrayU\PopTrayU.exe" "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"

your PopTray.ini file will be created in your user home directory,
which is different for each user on the PC.
