11 | One of the great things about SquirrelMail is the degree to which it may be customized. |
12 | Depending on the configuration, you may have several choices of themes, languages, |
13 | folders, and other preferences. All of these may be changed without affecting any other |
13056cde |
14 | users on the system. There are <DEL>four</DEL><INS> at least five</INS> main parts to the Options: |
15 | Personal, Display, Message Highlighting, <DEL>and </DEL>Folders<INS> and Index Order. |
16 | More parts may be available depending on your SquirrelMail installation</INS>. |

26 | <b>Full Name</b><br> |
27 | You should put your entire name here. For example, "John Doe". This is what is |
28 | shown to people that you send the message to. They will see that it is from |
29 | "John Doe". If you don't fill this in, they will see it is from your email address, |
30 | "jdoe@mydomain.org". |
31 | <br><br> |
32 | |
33 | <b>E-Mail Address</b><br> |
34 | <i>Optional</i> - If your email address is different than what is automatically |
35 | assigned, you can change it here. |
36 | <br><br> |
37 | |
38 | <b>Reply To</b><br> |
39 | <i>Optional</i> - This is the email address that people will reply to when they |
40 | reply to your message. If this is different than the email address you are sending |
41 | from, you can enter it here. This is useful if you want people to reply to your |
42 | Yahoo account rather than your office address. |
43 | <br><br> |
44 | |
13056cde |
45 | <INS><b>Multiple Identities</b><BR> |
46 | Click this link to edit multiple identities. This is useful if you want to |
47 | choose between different From-lines for different message (for example |
48 | containing your work or your home emailaddress. On the page that appears, |
49 | you can add as many identities as you like. You will be offered a choice |
50 | of these when composing a message.<br><br> |
51 | |
52 | <b>Reply Citation</b><BR> |
53 | If you press Reply on a message, you will be presented with the Compose |
54 | form with the original message quoted. Before this quoted message, a text |
55 | like <TT>John Doe wrote:</TT> might be prepended (if the message you're replying |
56 | to originated from John Doe). This is called the citation line. Here you |
57 | can choose how this line looks.<BR> |
58 | <UL> |
59 | <LI><B>No Citation</B><br> |
60 | Prepends no citation line whatsoever.<br><br> |
61 | <LI><B>Author Said</B><br> |
62 | This produces the line: <TT>John Doe Said:</TT> where John Doe will be replaced |
63 | by whoever the message you're replying to was from.<br><br> |
64 | <LI><B>Quote Who XML</B><br> |
65 | This produces the line: <TT><quote who="John Doe"></TT>.<br><br> |
66 | <LI><B>User-Defined</B><br> |
67 | Enables you to define your own citation line. In the two text boxes below, you |
68 | can type in the citation start and end. Between these the author name will be |
69 | inserted. |
70 | </UL><br><br> |
71 | </INS> |
72 | |
384c5b78 |
73 | <b>Signature</b><br> |
74 | <i>Optional</i> - Signatures are attached at the bottom of all messages you send |
75 | out. If you want a signature, you must make sure that the checkbox beside |
76 | "use a signature" is checked, and then fill in what you want your signature to be |
77 | in the box below it. |

87 | <b>Theme</b><br> |
88 | SquirrelMail offers different color themes for your viewing pleasure. You can |
89 | choose between the many listed there if you so desire. |
90 | <br><br> |
91 | |
13056cde |
92 | <INS><b>Custom Stylesheet</b><br> |
93 | Changing a theme only changes the colors, a stylesheet may change more, for |
94 | example the font size used by SquirrelMail. |
95 | <br><br></INS> |
96 | |
384c5b78 |
97 | <b>Language</b><br> |
98 | If English isn't your native tongue, you can easily change the language that |
99 | most things display in. If your desired language is in the list, you can choose |
100 | it and all future SquirrelMail related messages will be in that language. Note |
101 | that this doesn't translate incoming email messages or folder names. |
102 | <br><br> |
103 | |
13056cde |
104 | <b>Use Javascript<DEL> address book?</DEL></b><br> |
384c5b78 |
105 | One of our main goals in creating SquirrelMail was to have no Javascript in |
106 | any of our pages. However, some of our developers made a very good address |
13056cde |
107 | book searching utility that uses Javascript. <INS>Some other Javascript functions |
108 | were added aswell.</INS> Rather than remove it, we now |
109 | give you the option of using <DEL>the HTML address book or the Javascript one</DEL> |
110 | <INS>pure HTML or allow Javascript aswell</INS>. If |
111 | you don't know what this means, you are safest to choose <DEL>the HTML address book, |
112 | but most likely Javascript will work for you</DEL><INS>Autodetect</INS>. |

113 | <br><br> |
114 | |
115 | <b>Number of Messages to Index</b><br> |
116 | This is the number of messages to show at a time in a folder. If there are |
117 | more than this number in the folder, you will see a "Previous" and "Next" link |
118 | above and below the listing which will take you to the previous or next |
119 | messages. |
120 | <br><br> |
121 | |
13056cde |
122 | <INS> |
123 | <b>Enable Page Selector</b><br> |
124 | Setting this to Yes shows page numbers above and below the message list to |
125 | quickly jump to a specific page of messages. The number <B>Maximum pages to show</B> |
126 | can limit how many page numbers will be displayed above and below the |
127 | message list.<br><br> |
128 | </INS> |
129 | |
384c5b78 |
130 | <b>Wrap incoming text at</b><br> |
131 | How many characters should we allow before wrapping the text. This prevents |
132 | messages from scrolling way off the screen. 86 is usually a safe thing to |
133 | put in here, but you are free to change it to whatever you desire. |
134 | <br><br> |
135 | |
136 | <b>Size of editor window</b><br> |
137 | How wide do you want your "Compose" box to be? This is the number of characters |
138 | per line that you will be able to type before wrapping in the Compose section. |
139 | <br><br> |
140 | |
13056cde |
141 | <INS><b>Location of Buttons when Composing</b><br> |
142 | Where are the buttons Addresses, Save Draft and Send located?<br><br> |
143 | |
144 | <b>Addressbook Display Format</B><br> |
145 | Choose how you want the addressbook to be displayed. If you want maximum |
146 | compatibility with all browsers, use HTML. Select Javascript if you |
147 | know your browser supports it, it will display a nicer addressbook. |
148 | <br><br> |
149 | |
150 | <b>Show HTML Version by Default</b><br> |
151 | If a message you receive is in both text and HTML format, you can choose |
152 | if you want to see the HTML version (Yes) or the text version (No) by |
153 | default.<br><br> |
154 | |
155 | <b>Include Me in CC when I Reply All</b><br> |
156 | Reply All sends your reply to all recepients of the original message, |
157 | including yourself. To leave your own email address out, set this to No. |
158 | <br><br> |
159 | |
160 | <b>Enable Mailer Display</b><BR> |
161 | When viewing a message, this displays which email program the sender used. |
162 | <br><br> |
163 | |
164 | <b>Display Attached Images with Message</b><br> |
165 | If someone sends you a message with one or more images attached and you've |
166 | set this to Yes, the images will be displayed right away when you view |
167 | the message. |
168 | <br><br> |
169 | |
170 | <b>Enable Subtle Printer Friendly Link</b><br> |
171 | This determines the way the Printable Version-link will be displayed. |
172 | <br><br> |
173 | |
174 | <b>Enable Printer Friendly Clean Display</b><br> |
175 | This will clean out the message so the print looks nicer. |
176 | <br><br> |
177 | |
178 | <b>Other Options</b><br> |
179 | Depending on the configuration of your SquirrelMail installation, some more |
180 | options might be displayed here. They hopefully should be self-explanatory. |
181 | <br><br></INS> |
182 | |
183 | <DEL><b>Width of left folder list</b><br> |
384c5b78 |
184 | On the left side of your browser window, you will see the list of folders. With |
185 | this option, you can select how wide that will be. If you have very long folder |
186 | names or large fonts, it is good to set this pretty high. Otherwise, you should |
187 | set it low so you don't waste screen space. |
188 | <br><br> |
189 | |
190 | <b>Auto refresh folder list</b><br> |
191 | SquirrelMail has the functionality to automatically refresh the folder listing |
192 | on the left side of your browser window. This will also update the number of |
193 | unseen messages that are in each folder. This is a good way to check for unseen |
194 | messages in the INBOX without having to click on it every time. |

201 | Message Highlighting |
202 | </title> |
203 | <description> |
204 | The idea for this came because if you are subscribed to many mailing lists, |
205 | it is very hard to distinguish which messages came from where while reading |
206 | through the list of messages. With Message Highlighting, you can have the |
207 | background color of all messages from one mailing list different than the |
208 | color of another list.<br><br> |
209 | |
210 | Just click on [New] to create a new one, or [Edit] to edit an existing one |
211 | and the options will appear below.<br><br> |
212 | |
213 | <b>Identifying Name</b><br> |
214 | This is simply the name that you see which describes what it is. For |
215 | example, if you are highlighting messages from your mother, you might |
216 | set this to "From Mom". |
217 | <br><br> |
218 | |
219 | <b>Color</b><br> |
220 | This is the actual color that the background will be. You can choose between |
221 | a number of pre-defined colors that we have selected for you, or you can enter |
222 | the HEX code for the color that you desire (i.e. a6b492). If you choose to |
223 | enter your own color, you must also select the radio button in front so that it is |
224 | checked. |
225 | <br><br> |
226 | |
227 | <b>Match</b><br> |
228 | Here you can choose the matching phrase. From the drop-down box, you can |
229 | choose which header field to match against (to, from, subject...) and in the |
230 | text box, you can enter the phrase to match (mom@yahoo.com). |

240 | <b>Folder Path</b><br> |
5572cae2 |
241 | On some systems this will not be displayed. If you don't see this option, just |
384c5b78 |
242 | ignore this. On other systems, this is quite a necessary feature. Usually the |
243 | option that is in there is what should be there. This is the folder in your |
244 | home directory that holds all your email folders. If you don't understand this, |
245 | just leave it what it is. |
246 | <br><br> |
247 | |
248 | <b>Trash Folder</b><br> |
249 | You can choose which folder messages will be sent to when you delete them. If |
250 | you don't want deleted messages to go to the trash, set this to "Don't use Trash". |
251 | <br><br> |
252 | |
253 | <b>Sent Folder</b><br> |
254 | You can choose which folder your sent messages will go to. If you don't want |
255 | these, just set it to "Don't use Sent". |
256 | <br><br> |
13056cde |
257 | |
258 | <INS><b>Draft Folder</b><br> |
259 | You can choose which folder the messages you save as draft will go to. |
260 | If you don't want to use this, just set it to "Don't use Drafts". |
261 | <br><br></INS> |
262 | |
263 | <INS><b>Location of folder list</b><br> |
264 | Determines wether you want the list of folders on the left or right of your |
265 | window. |
266 | <br><br> |
384c5b78 |
267 | |
13056cde |
268 | <b>Width of folder list</b><br> |
269 | With this option, you can select how wide the list of folders will be. |
270 | If you have very long folder names or large fonts, it is good to set this |
271 | pretty high. Otherwise, you should set it low so you don't waste screen space. |
272 | <br><br> |
273 | |
274 | <b>Auto refresh folder list</b><br> |
275 | SquirrelMail has the functionality to automatically refresh the folder listing |
276 | on the left side of your browser window. This will also update the number of |
277 | unseen messages that are in each folder. This is a good way to check for unseen |
278 | messages in the INBOX without having to click on it every time. |
279 | <br><br></INS> |
280 | |
281 | <b><DEL>Unseen</DEL><INS>Enable Unread</INS> Message Notification</b><br> |
384c5b78 |
282 | This option specifies how to display unseen messages in the folder listing on the |
283 | right side of your browser window. If you set this to No Notification, you will |
284 | not be notified of unseen messages. If you set it to INBOX, when you have new |
285 | messages, the INBOX will become bold and a number will appear to the right of it |
286 | to say how many new messages are in it. If you set it to All Folders, this |
287 | behavior will happen on all folders. If you notice that loading the folder list |
288 | is really slow, you can set this to INBOX or None and that should speed it up. |
289 | <br><br> |
290 | |
291 | <b>Unseen message notification type</b><br> |
13056cde |
292 | When new messages are in a folder, this option tells |
293 | <DEL>how to notify you of that</DEL> |
294 | <INS>either to only display the number of new messages or also display the |
295 | total number of messages in that folder</INS>. |
296 | <br><br> |
297 | |
298 | <INS><b>Enable Collapsable Folders</b><br> |
299 | Collapsable Folders allow you to 'fold' or collapse a folder which contains |
300 | subfolders so the subfolders will not be displayed. You can collapse a |
301 | folder by clicking the "-" next to it and expand it again with the "+" sign. |
302 | Setting this to No disables collapsing. |
303 | <br><br> |
304 | |
305 | <b>Show Clock on Folders Panel</b><br> |
306 | Choose if you want a clock to be displayed above the folder list and how |
307 | it should look (Y=year, D=day, H=hour, M=minute, S=second). The option |
308 | <B>Hour Format</B> below gives you the choice of a 12- or 24-hour clock. |
309 | <br><br> |
310 | |
311 | <b>Memory Search</b><br> |
312 | If you search a mailbox, the search will be saved for quick access later. |
313 | This defines how many mailbox searches will be saved. |
