Using Videograms With Non-MAPI Email Programs
With non-MAPI email programs such as America Online (AOL), you cannot launch the email program directly from
the Videogram Creator application. But you can still send Videograms using the non-MAPI email program. You simply
have to save the files first. Follow the directions for saving a file, and remember where you save it.
Sending Videograms with non-MAPI Email Programs

5 Click the Attach icon. Browse and select the Videogram you want to send.
6 Click OK to accept attachment.

Receiving Videograms with a non-MAPI Email Program
Typically, once a Videogram is sent to an to your ISP account, it is stored on the ISP’s server. When you log onto to your
service provider, the program will indicate that you have new mail. Simply download the Videogram the same way you
would any other file you receive by e-mail.
Step by step procedure
1 Start your email program.
2 Click Mail from menu bar and select Read New Mail.
3 You will be notified that this message includes an attachment. Click Download File to begin downloading the
Videogram. At this point, you can specify where the file should go, otherwise it will probably save to the default loca-
tion
4 At the end of download, you can use the Windows Explorer to locate the Videogram you just downloaded and double-
click on it to play (if it’s saved as a .EXE file), or use the Videogram Player application to open a Videogram saved as a
.VGM file.
Note: Download times are a function of file size, modem speed, and network usage. Trying to download a large image
with high frame rates over a 14.4kbps modem during prime use times will be a trying experience. We recommend creating
files that are under 1MB in size to minimize download times.
