# Getting Started

In order to use Power Listviewer 99, you need to either save message digests from your e-mail program to a known location or folder, or to know where your e-mail program stores the message files.

There are several ways to open these message files in Power Listviewer 99:

- Create a shortcut in the Preferences which points to the directory/folder where the files are stored
- Open the directory/folder directly from the menu
- Open a single file

If there are many different files in the directory and you are interested on only certain types, you can also specify various filters which would only allow files which match the filter to be read.

A future version of Power Listviewer will be able to access a mail POP server and download specific messages instead of relying upon an external mail client. Watch the web page for more information.
