I also used to use Minuet when I was using my former ISP.
To set her up and configure her you should already have a TCP/IP connection
established with your ISP or she will lock up on you. I can't use Minuet
with my current ISP to send mail to anyone who is not in my local domain.
This is because you can't configure Minuet to work very well for email if
your ISP uses different servers for for POP3 and for SMTP. My former ISP
used the same server name both for POP3 and for SMTP. With my current ISP
I don't use the same server for incoming as I do for outgoing.
I have not heard of any recent versions. What is the latest you know of?
