Obstacles To International Development

international development barriers faced during work on timesnapper... with link to timesnapper to dry and draw you into downloading this excellent program

TimeSnapper is largely written by Atli Björgvin Oddsson, who lives in Iceland.

The Email tab...

Using the Vault Admin tool, you can configure the email SMTP server settings.

Once you do that, you can set your email address and get notifications when a change is made to a folder.
