6 You can customize the way that SquirrelMail looks and responds to you
7 by setting different options in this section.
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
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>.
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,
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.
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.
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>
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>
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
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
88 SquirrelMail offers different color themes for your viewing pleasure. You can
89 choose between the many listed there if you so desire.
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.
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.
104 <b>Use Javascript<DEL> address book?</DEL></b><br>
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
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>.
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
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>
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.
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.
141 <INS><b>Location of Buttons when Composing</b><br>
142 Where are the buttons Addresses, Save Draft and Send located?<br><br>
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.
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
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.
160 <b>Enable Mailer Display</b><BR>
161 When viewing a message, this displays which email program the sender used.
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
170 <b>Enable Subtle Printer Friendly Link</b><br>
171 This determines the way the Printable Version-link will be displayed.
174 <b>Enable Printer Friendly Clean Display</b><br>
175 This will clean out the message so the print looks nicer.
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.
183 <DEL><b>Width of left folder list</b><br>
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.
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.
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>
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>
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".
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
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>
241 On some systems this will not be displayed. If you don't see this option, just
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.
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".
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".
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".
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
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.
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.
281 <b><DEL>Unseen</DEL><INS>Enable Unread</INS> Message Notification</b><br>
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.
291 <b>Unseen message notification type</b><br>
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>.
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.
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.
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.
322 <INS>Index Order</INS>
325 <INS>This section gives you control over the message list. You can choose how
326 much information you want in the message list and in what order it should
329 Use the Up and Down links to move columns around, Del to remove a column
330 from the display and Add to add one.</INS>
