System Requirements

Aid4Mail has the following minimum requirements:

Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 / 2003 / NT4 / ME / XP / Vista / Windows 7, or Mac OS / Linux in conjunction with Wine.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems are supported.
64 MB of RAM, 3 MB disk space
Pentium (or compatible) processor

Aid4Mail requires either Office Outlook or an Exchange Server MAPI client to process messages from/to Outlook PST and MSG files, and MAPI profiles; you can use the free standalone version of MAPI or a free 60-day trial version of Outlook if you don't have 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 Microsoft 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.
