<title>Starting Sylpheed for the first time</title>
<para>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".</para>
<mediaobject>

configuration (local UNIX mailbox or POP account), read one of the
following sections for the next steps of the configuration.</para>
