Instead I inserted in "Add an Unofficial Plugin": "/home/user1/downloads/freenet/freemail_/MfeZlMXJZja-FfLA6Yyqf~e8HdH5r3-WsxGtUxUOdyE" - and then I clicked the "Load" button - and that worked. > > Once it downloads you should see 'Visit' button next to Freemail plugin, > you need to click it and follow the instructions. I then went to the "visit" page, but I did not insert anything in the "Domain" line as I do not know what to insert? I have done setup according to the Freemail Setup page, and everything looks ok, but I cannot send a mail to myself? - it says "not a freemail address"? Status says that I am connected to 127.0.0.1 and looks as it is trying to send (small moving box). It also says "Verify that your SMTP server settings is correct"? Any clues of what I am missing (it is quite difficult for a newbie to find out, as the documentation is missing the small important parts - I find) > > For more help about Freemail and other Freenet applications you might want > to visit > http://localhost:/freenet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >9M,9T20t3xoG-dQfMO94LGOl9AxRTkaz~TykFY-voqaTQI,AQACAAE/FAFS/23/ (not > maintained by me). Did not work, but I have the Freemail site already from the "http://127.0.0.1:/"; page. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You shouldn't decompress it, but keep it as it is. A better way of installing Freemail is to go to http://localhost:/plugins/ and select 'Freemail' from the 'Load Official plugin:' drop-down menu there. Note: If somebody is monitoring your connection they will know that you have gotten Freemail, as the download happens from the normal web. They will *not* know what you do with the Freemail after you downloaded it, though. Once it downloads you should see 'Visit' button next to Freemail plugin, you need to click it and follow the instructions.

I used the -ProfileManager option to access the default account and it is working, thank you.

You shouldn't decompress it, but keep it as it is. A better way of installing Freemail is to go to http://localhost:/plugins/ and select 'Freemail' from the 'Load Official plugin:' drop-down menu there. Note: If somebody is monitoring your connection they will know that you have gotten Freemail, as the download happens from the normal web.
