In order to access Gmail via POP3 and SMTP it is necessary to connect to Google's mail servers using an SSL-encrypted connection -- this is required by Google, and is good practice as without it the login credentials (user ID and password) for the Gmail service would be tran… text/html 2008-08-13T14:36:56+02:00 Daniel James http://dokuwiki.virtual-access.org/doku.php?id=vaoshelp:spellsetup&rev=1218631016&do=diff1218631016 Setting up spellchecking for VAOS 6.3 Background VAOS 6.3 supports spellchecking. This does not use the same spellchecking engine as VA5 as that was a commercial product, and could therefore not be used in VAOS which is free software. The spellchecking interface in VAOS has, however, been made to look as much like the interface in VA5 as possible while supporting some new features. text/html 2008-08-08T14:30:55+02:00 Daniel James http://dokuwiki.virtual-access.org/doku.php?id=vaoshelp:aspellsetup&rev=1218198655&do=diff1218198655 Setting up GNU ASpell for VAOS GNU ASpell is a free Open Source spellchecker that consists of a commandline program (aspell.exe) that can be used as a standalone spellchecker, and also a DLL (aspell-15.dll) that can be integrated into an application program.

You can download and install as many (or as few) languages as you need.
