                            Setup

To install mehitabel, do the following:

• Put mehitabel and the mehitabel help file in a working Host system, at the same level as the Config file. You will need mehitabel help when you are setting up. Later, you can remove it to save space and clutter, as long as you don’t expect to ask mehitabel any questions.

• Launch mehitabel while holding down the mouse button. This will bring you to a set of dialogs which allow you to configure mehitabel.

• Choose “Configure” from the File menu, and tell mehitabel what program to launch next and where to put backups and text files. This dialog also lets you choose which reports mehitabel will generate.

• Set Limits, Ages and Backup status for each section. If you do not know what limits to set, leave them all at 0, set mehitabel to generate a full report and run mehitabel once. With all sections set to 0, mehitabel will not delete any messages. The mehitabel report will tell you how many messages each section contains, enabling you to intelligently decide what limits to set.

• If you are running Tabby, insert mehitabel in a regular Tabby event (see the Hints help section for some advice on when to run mehitabel).

• If you are not running Tabby, then set Host to launch mehitabel as a NetMail event at whatever time you choose, and set mehitabel’s “Next Launch” option to the name of your Host application.
