| 13 | Can I use multiple names from the address book? |
| 14 | </title> |
| 15 | <description> |
| 16 | <p> |
| 17 | Yes. The address book search will display all matches for the |
| 18 | search criteria entered in the search box. If 10 names are displayed |
| 19 | any combination may be selected for either the <b>To:</b> or <b>CC:</b> |
| 20 | fields. All selected addresses will be inserted into the proper |
| 21 | field when the Use Address button is pressed. |

| 28 | Can I add names directly to the address book from a email? |
| 29 | </title> |
| 30 | <description> |
| 31 | <p> |
| 32 | No. At this time you cannot add names directly from a received email |
| 33 | to the address book. You can, however, right click on the address and |
| 34 | save it to the clipboard and paste this into the address book. Try |
| 35 | not to be disappointed. SquirrelMail is under continual development |
| 36 | and this might be included in the future in one form or another. |

| 55 | What is webmail? |
| 56 | </title> |
| 57 | <description> |
| 58 | <p> |
| 59 | In SquirrelMail's case it gives you access through the IMAP protocol |
| 60 | to your email account. This means that you don't have to figure out how |
| 61 | to setup someone else's stuff just to check your mail. |

| 68 | Where can I use this webmail? |
| 69 | </title> |
| 70 | <description> |
| 71 | <p> |
| 72 | Any where there is a browser available. |
| 73 | Wireless access (WAP/WML) is not on the drawing board at this time though. |

| 80 | Why use webmail instead of a regular email client? |
| 81 | </title> |
| 82 | <description> |
| 83 | <p> |
| 84 | It is doubtful that webmail will ever be a complete substitute for |
| 85 | a regular email client. But hey, who knows? Anyway, If you ever |
| 86 | were at a friend's house, on a trip, at home or work and away from |
| 87 | your computer and wanted to check your mail you already know why. |
| 88 | Because it is a huge hassle to set your mail up on their computer |
| 89 | and then delete it again. SquirrelMail is designed to be a supplement |
| 90 | to your normal email client. |

| 97 | How does this stuff work? |
| 98 | </title> |
| 99 | <description> |
| 100 | <p> |
| 101 | SquirrelMail uses the IMAP protocol, info on it can be found |
| 102 | <a href="http://imap.org"/>here</a>. The program also uses |
| 103 | its own IMAP functions, not those built in to PHP4. This won't |
| 104 | matter to anybody except those responsible for installing it, |
| 105 | but trust us when we say they appreciate it. |
