4. Which POP3 e-mail programs does WebRunner work with?

5. How exactly does WebRunner accelerate my e-mail?

Most e-mail messages are typically composed of a combination of both text and images. This is especially true for HTML formatted e-mail messages which is now the most commonly used format for e-mail. WebRunner accelerates your e-mail by compressing the size of the images in HTML formatted e-mail messages and attachments (such as photographs), thereby making the overal size of the messages smaller and thus resulting in faster mail downloads.

6. Does WebRunner work with web-based e-mail such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.?

Yes, since web-based e-mail interfaces are basically just web pages, WebRunner will accelerate the speed at which your web-based e-mail messages open in your browser. However, the speed at which file attachments are UPLOADED from your computer to the web-based e-mail server you use when composing a message is not able to be accelerated in the current design of WebRunner. This is not usually a significant issue though since most users of web-based e-mail only compose brief outgoing text messages without images or other attachments.



7. Does WebRunner accelerate the speed of FTP downloads or uploads?

No, WebRunner does not accelerate FTP transfers in either direction. This is because FTP uses different TCP/IP ports than the ports that Web and E-Mail services use. However, the vast majority of time spent online by most users is spent viewing web pages. Therefore, the vast majority of your Internet online time will be accelerated by WebRunner!
