Make batch files or shell scripts that you can use to send a quick note to someone.
Example Windows batch-file (sendmail.bat) could be:
java -cp . LauncherBootstrap sclec -optionsfile webmailsmtp.options -to %1 -subject %2 -body %2
You can then use simple command
sendmail.bat This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it "this evening?" "Is this evening ok? Regards, me"
to send email without the need to start your email client. You can also use this to send email using your free web mail address.
You can also receive mail and list mail in your shell. You'll see date, sender and subject of the mail and if it's important you can read it from the command line or open your mail client.
You can also monitor a specific email and automatically reply or forward it. Or you can make a script that regularly reads email and if it includes certain recipient you can have your script to send email to your mobile phone that you have important mail waiting in your mail box.
Administer server
Powerful feature of SCLEC is email shell. You can start SCLEC in shell mode using -emailshell option and monitor a specific email that receives your shell commands. This enables you to send email from your other mail address (such as web mail) from anywhere in the world and execute commands in your server. You could send a command tail -100 /product/logs/activity.log and you receive a reply of the command output.
You can use email shell to execute commands that do not require user interaction.
