Preparing Email Extractor for Work

    Once you install E-Mail Seeker, you should specify an E-Mail account that will be used for sending E-Mails. Go to File->Options->Server and specify an Outgoing (SMTP) mail server and your Mail account name. No password is necessary. You will also be able to change these settings later, should you decide to change your account.

Note (External Mail Server only): Although the mail messages will be sent from your e-mail account, you'll be able to specify any "From" e-mail address for the messages you send. For example, you can send messages that appear to come from "You@NorthPole.com",  or any other address that you type.

Note (External Mail Server only): If you are not sure of the Outgoing mail server, please ask your Internet Service Provider.

Options window

The following options can be set:

• Mail server
  
  If you use External Mail server (Standard and Pro versions)
  
       - Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: specifies your outgoing mail server. Your email messages will be sent via this server.
  
       - Mail account name: specifies your account name for the mail server.
  
  If you use Internal Mail server (Pro version only)
  
       - DNS Server: E-Mail Seeker will attempt to automatically set DNS address. If it cannot be obtained, or you would like to use an alternative DNS, please set "Use this DNS server" option and enter DNS address.
  
  Other E-Mail settings (Standard and Pro versions)
  
       - Mail server timeout: specifies number of seconds that the program has to wait before it gives up connecting to the mail server. Usually ranges between 1 and 10 seconds. If you have slower internet connection (e.g. Dial Up via modem) you can increase the value; for fast connection (e.g. DSL, ISDN) you can make it smaller.
  
       - E-Mail sending (Standard or Threaded): specifies e-mail sending method. Threaded works much faster but may not be supported in some cases. If you have problems with sending e-mails you should switch between the two. 
   
• Search engine
  - Extraction rate per last X min.: defines time for which extraction rate is calculated. Rate will be defined as number of e-mails extracted per one minute, but only e-mails that were found in last X minutes will be used for calculation.
  
  - Thread timeout: defines how much time E-Mail Seeker waits for a page. For slower/less stable internet connection we would recommend larger time-outs, for faster and stable connection - smaller time-outs. Setting time-out to smaller values will speed-up the performance, but may lead to skipping pages that are slow to load with slower internet connection.
  
  - Stop when rate falls below X emails/min.: when extraction rate falls below this value (eg. because all pages have been processed and only duplicate e-mails are being found), E-Mail Seeker will terminate the work.
  If you would like to always complete all searches, set this value to zero.
  
  - Keyword/search masks lists: when starting a new seek job, E-Mail Seeker always suggests keywords/masks that have been used (you can select them from drop-downs). If you would like to remove one or more keywords from these "suggestion lists", you can modify the lists in this section.
   
• Batch files
  Specifies locations of batch files that have been used for searches. These files appear in the suggestions list when a batch seek job is started.
   
• Websites
  Specifies names of web-site searches and URLs. These name and URL files appear in the suggestions list when a website seek job is started.
   
• Local files
  Specifies directories and masks for local file seek jobs. These directories and masks appear in the suggestions list when a local files seek job is started.
   
• Utilization
  Defines internet channel utilization. The more processes you specify, the faster e-mail extracting will work, but your computer will work slower and internet connection will be more loaded. Use more processes if you are not using your computer during the searches and nobody is using/sharing (e.g. via network) internet channel with you.
   
• Connection
  Allows you to enter proxy server information. Leave the fields empty if you are not using proxy.
   
• Bad URLs/Words
  Here, you can define bad URLs/Words. If you check "Use Bad URLs/Words filter" option in Seek Job, any URLs that are declared as bad or any pages containing bad words from your list will not be processed.
