Mail Siphon is tool to manage mailboxes. Mail Siphon provides an easy way to purge your mailbox or delete a specific e-mail without downloading the others.
If someone sends you a really large e-mail, you might want to delete it rather than download it. The problem is that you can't get the other messages which are stuck on the mail server.
You may also be the victim of 'mail-bombing'. That means that someone with a sadistic mind sent you a lot of mail to "explode" your mail box. The only solution is to purge your mailbox.
How do I connect to my mail server ?
- Launch Mail Siphon.
- Enter the pop3 mail server address, your login and your password. (You can click on the "Add to list" button to save your configuration in an encrypted file.)
- Click "Connect" and wait for the connection to be established.
- Double-click on a message to get the complete information.
How do I get complete information for each message ?
- Check the "Get complete information on every message" check box.
- Double-click on a message to get the complete information.
- Click on the "Update List" Button.
Note: If you have a lot of messages in the mailbox, this may take some time.
How do I delete a specific e-mail ?
- Select (single-click) the message(s) you want to delete.
- Click "Delete" and confirm.
Note: You can also double-click on a message to get more information about it.
How do I purge my mailbox ?
- Click on the "Purge" button and confirm.
Note: this will delete every message from the server!

How can I send you some money ?
Paying for Mail Siphon is fairly simple. You can register from a web browser or with the register application.
• You can register online at <http://order.kagi.com/?S8W>.
• Open the Register program that accompanies Mail Siphon. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-S8W
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment.
Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.
Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
