First we'll talk about what this program allows you to do, and then how to install and how to use it. This program applies to "our favorite free software." This paper describes version 4.6. So, first let's talk about what you can do with this agent:  1) Learn about new incoming messages (assuming that you have a box on www.mail.ru and the agent is running). 2) Send free SMS messages to mobile phones (and possibly receive a message, but this is a paid service). 3) Communicate with friends through instant messaging Mobile phone spy. 4) Call on the phone (paid service). 5) Play the game (tic-tac-toe, etc.). 6) To transmit and receive files.  Now let's talk about how to install the program. As mentioned earlier - the program is free, so to use it enough its just download and install on your computer. In general, install the agent you are invited to meyl.ru when you create a mailbox on meyl.ru, but if you have not used this option, then - nothing wrong with that. Agent weighs approximately 2 megabytes, so the problem with downloading it does not arise.  Installation.  Once you have downloaded the program - click on the icon of the distribution and before us, a window installation Mail.ru Agent. Consider the options that are offered to configure the installation. The first of these options - to stay. Here you select the folder in which the agent will be installed (I recommend no change). The next option - Install for all users. This option allows you to use an agent to all users of your computer. Mail.ru Make home page - sets the first page loaded when you start the browser - www.mail.ru. Do I need to do this? It depends on your preferences. If you have another home page (search engines, or personal page) and you do not want to change anything - then clear the checkbox for this option. The next option, which is represented in this box - Create a shortcut to the "Start" menu. At this point, too, you can decide if you want the program to be displayed in the "Start" menu, under All Programs, then it makes sense to mention this option. Create a shortcut to the Quick Launch toolbar - this option is also to "your conscience." If you will often run the program - check the box for this option (by default, so it is installed). And the last option - Add the icon that launches the browser. If you want to call the agent directly from the browser window - boldly mark this option.  Customize.  Immediately after installation you will see a window - User Authorization. Here you must enter the address of the mailbox (only meyl.ru) and password to access this account. In the E-mail address, enter only the username box and the end of the address to select from the drop down menu. If only you (a) using the computer - you can check the option Save password. Keep in mind that, provided that your account can be used by other people, so they get to your mail - will be enough to run mail.ru agent. In such cases, do not mark the Save password option is similar. Now we need to connect to the network, so as to register the agent should have access to the Internet. Set up a connection in the window Authorization user clicks OK. If you correctly identify their data (especially your password) - authorizes your agent and you will see a window with the name of your e-mailbox. Now, I recommend just to go to the menu and go to Settings program. I will not describe in detail about all the options available here, and tell you about the most interesting.  The Connection tab you need if you want to set up a connection through the agent proxy. On the General tab you can select the folder where the files will be stored adopted (best point the way to the desktop, then to search for a long time taken by the files). Also you can enable / disable the sounds. For information on when to notify you of various events, you can configure on the Notifications tab.  To configure the display of contacts in your contact list, click the tab Contact list (butter oil-turned, well, oh well). Now it remains only to look at the Invisible tab and all the settings are made.  In this, like, it was possible to finish the story, but I decided to describe to you sending SMS messages to mobile phones.  Sending SMS to mobile phones.  To send messages to mobile phones - you need to add contacts to this posting. To do this, press the Menu button on the main window and select the Add a contact to call and SMS. Note that the option Add a contact for our purposes is not appropriate, it allows you to add contacts to communicate by instant messaging. Once we clicked the Add a contact to call and SMS - we now see a screen where you need to drive the contact information. Here, fill out the required fields (please note the format for entering the phone number) and click Add. Now the user will be displayed in your contact list, see Telephone contacts. To send SMS to this contact - left click on the contact's name twice and you will see a window where you'll have to write a message. Given the opportunity to choose the language set of the message (in English, you can print more characters in one message, than in Russian. This, too, that in the mobile phone). In Russian 37 characters can be typed in English - 137 (injustice, which annoys me). After the set of the message, press the Send button and your message goes to the recipient. Now talk about a small but very important detail. It should be noted that if the recipient to whom you want to send a message to write an answer from his mobile phone and will respond to that number, from which it came - the message will not come to you (the agent of the window), but the money will be removed for sending more than one normal text message to a subscriber who you sent the message. Receive messages from mobile phone users in the window of Mail.ru Agent is only possible with the availability of funds in your account. But even in this case, inform the recipient about how much is his message.  Instant notification of incoming messages Mobile spyware.  If the agent is running and connected to a network, the arrival of your new mail box you have a box at the top of the agent to appear on the new notification letters and numbers. If you click on the link, which actually notified of the presence of new messages, you go to a page of your mailbox, where it can read a new letter. Well, if you use a mail client - simply run the client and download new messages.  Well, that's all I wanted to convey to the reader about this program. As always, you choose - to use the program or not. I can only wish good luck! Dr. Misch.
