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. For more help about Freemail and other Freenet applications you might want to visit http://localhost:/freenet:USK at ugb~uuscsidMI-Ze8laZe~o3BUIb3S50i25RIwDH99M,9T20t3xoG-dQfMO94LGOl9AxRTkaz~TykFY-voqaTQI,AQACAAE/FAFS/23/ (not maintained by me). -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast http://eng.anarchopedia.org/ Anarchopedia, A Free Knowledge Portal http://freenetproject.org/ The Free Network project "None of us are free until all of us are free."~ Mihail Bakunin

I used the -ProfileManager option to access the default account and it is working, thank you.
[freenet-support] how to install freemail
Anybody know how to install freemail - I have downloaded Freemail-0.1-11.jar but get no *.jar file. Instead I get a zip file, and when I decompress it, I get no *.jar file, but 4 directories without any *.jar file? I am not a programmer, so please do not answer too short - thanks?

They will *not* know what you do with the Freemail after you downloaded it, though. This did not work. 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).
