+ Folder view + + + The folder view shows you all the mail folders that you have created, + in a tree-like structure. If you want to see the headers of the messages + in a specific folder, just click the name of the folder once, and in the + summary view (2) you can see the messages in the selected mail folder. + + + When you see a + sign in front of a folder name, that means the folder + branch of that part of the tree is 'collapsed'. You can expand that + part by clicking the + sign. In that same manner you can also collapse + the - sign in front of an expanded branch of the folder tree. + + + The folder pane can be resized be dragging (left mouse button down) + the handle found on the left of the folder view. + + + The folder window can be detached from the main Sylpheed window + by selecting the menu action: View -> Separate folder tree. + When exiting the current state of the folder window (attached or + detached) is saved to be restored when re-starting Sylpheed. + To re-attach the folder window, de-select the menu entry. + + +
+ Special folders + + + Draft: here you store messages that you want to send out more often, + or you want to work on some more. Using the 'reedit' option from the + message menu, you can edit the message further. + + + Trash: in here all your deleted messages go. Depending on the common + preferences setting, this box is or is not emptied when you end Sylpheed. + + + Sent: in here are saved the messages you send (enabled by a + common preference setting and the folder can be changed by an account + preference setting). + + + Queue: this folder contains the composed messaged waiting to + be sent (with Sylpheed message sending can be delayed). + + +
+
+ +
+ Summary view + + + The summary pane can show you many things. You can select what you + want to see from the Summary menu, selecting the option + Set display item. A list of all options is: + + + Mark: shows if the message is marked. + Unread: shows if the message is read or not + MIME: shows MIME attachments + Number: shows the MH number of the message + Size: the size of the entire message including attachments + Date: the date of sending by the sender + From: who sent the message + Subject: what the message is about + + + + You can sort the summary view in many ways, by clicking the button + that is above the column. Click once to sort going up (a-z), click + once more to sort going down (z-a). + + + + If you think the size of a column is not right, you can adjust that + by placing the mouse cursor next to the button of the column you + want to adjust, press mousebutton1 (left button) and drag the + column to the width you want it to have. + + + + Select a message by clicking on it with the mouse. Once the summary + pane has the focus of the program, you can also move up and down + in the list through the cursor keys, or pressing "p"(revious) and + "n"(ext) as in Pine. + +
+ +
+ Message view + + + In the message view you can read the message that you selected in + the summary pane. If you entered the summary pane without selecting + a message, the message view will be empty. At the top of the + message view some info is presented about the message you are + reading, as well as some statistics on the selected folder. + + + + You can scroll up and down in the message by using the arrow keys + (after clicking inside the message), or by using the scrollbar. + + + + The size of the message and summary views can be adjusted by dragging + (with the left mouse button down) the handle that appears between + the two panes. + + + + The small arrow located just below the summary pane scrollbar can + be used to detach the message view. When clicked, the summary view + is extended down to the bottom of the Sylpheed window, and the messages + are displayed is a separate window (when you double click them in the + summary pane). This state is not saved on exit, and the message window + can be restored below the summary one by clicking again the small arrow. + + + + When the current message contains attachments, two tabs + are displayed in the message window. Selecting the first one makes + the message window display the text body of the message, while selecting + the second tab makes the message window display the attachment part + of the message. In the latter case, the message window is splitted + in two parts, the top one contains the attachments as a tree + with the MIME type, size and file name of each part, while the bottom + part contains the content of the selected attachment (if the attachment + is an image and Sylpheed has been compiled with the gdk-pixbuf or + the imlib library). + +
