+ Starting Sylpheed for the first time + + When starting Sylpheed for the first time, you will be guided + through the first basic steps of the setup. First a pop-up window will + show up and you will be asked to define the directory Sylpheed will use to + store your messages and folders. This directory will be created under your + home directory (or under C:\windows\Application Data\Sylpheed on windows). + The default name for this directory is "Mail". + + + + + + + + Then the account preferences window shows up. Based on your + configuration (local UNIX mailbox or POP account), read one of the + following sections for the next steps of the configuration. +

You can select this account + to be the default account ("Usually used"). + + + + Enter your name and e-mail address. + + + + To select your local unix mailbox, in the Protocol box you + select "None (local)". + + + + When you select this option, the "Server for receiving" is + greyed out, since this is not relevant. You can enter the server to + send (SMTP) in this tab also. + + + + Settings in the remaining tabs can usually be left at default + values. + + + + + + + + The Receive tab is not used in this setup, since you are not polling + a server, your mail is delivered to you. + + In the Send tab you can select headers and SMTP + authentication. + + + + + + + + In the Compose tab you can define your signature file. + + + + + + + + In the Advanced tab you can edit the portnumbers for the servers you + will be using. This normally will need no change. + + This is basically everything you need to start using Sylpheed for + local mailboxes. You can select "Message -> receive new mail" or press + the shortcut and see if there is new mail! +
