Specifications
Aid4Mail has the following minimum requirements.
- Windows 95/98/2000/2003/NT4/ME/XP/Vista
- 32 MB of RAM, 3 MB disk space
- Pentium or AMD processor
Aid4Mail will run on Intel-based Macs that are running Windows or Wine, and on PowerPC Macs using Virtual PC. It will run on UNIX/Linux systems with Wine.
Aid4Mail requires a working version of MS Office Outlook to process messages from/to PST and Outlook MSG files, as well as MAPI profiles (you can use a free 60-day trial version of Outlook if you don't own a license.) There may be some compatibility issues with Outlook 97. If you have Outlook 98/2000 installed in Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode, then only the default MAPI profile can be processed; you will have to re-install MS Outlook in Corporate/WorkGroup mode to handle PST and MSG files.
Aid4Mail Standard does not include support for Outlook MSG or PST files, nor for MAPI profiles.
After you purchase an Aid4Mail Standard or Professional license, you will need to activate your copy of the software. This simple procedure requires an Internet connection and usually takes just a few seconds.
