yahMAIL Guide - Setup
- Direct Action UI: instead of 200 Success reports, return
immediately to the current window.
- Hide SPAM (in NEWMAIL): enable or disable the SPAM filter.
- Window: the number of mail items displayed at the one time in a
folder browse page.
- Check NEWMAIL: specifies to yahMAIL that when sitting in a
NEWMAIL folder browse page it automatically check for new mail every this many
minutes.
- Mail Folder Buttons: the "standard" set of folder
buttons, NEWMAIL, MAIL, SENT, WASTEBASKET, EMPTY, DELETE should be located
above or below the list of message items (or not shown at all).
- User Folder Buttons: display a button for each folder in the user's
mail file, above or below the message list, or not at all. This is a
particularly useful facility. Each button allows the corresponding folder
directly to be opened, or for selected messages moves them into that folder.
- Folder OPEN/MOVE/COPY: locates the default folder action text
field, selection list and action buttons to be located above or below the
message list. This function cannot be removed with a none option.
- CREATE-SEND Button: locates this above or below the message list.
- Message Edit Window: allows the number of rows in the message
composition area to be specified.
- Encoding: select the combination of header and body encoding for 8
bit characters (e.g. ä, ç; non-PMDF only)
- Pick Fields: allows message selection text entry fields to be
positioned above or below the message list, or not shown at all.
- Wrap Long Lines: when checked wraps long lines at the first space
after 72 characters during message read.
- Reply-To: reply address (if different to the sending address).
- HIDE Setup: button closes the setup dialog.
- LOAD setup: (re)loads the on-disk configuration.
- SAVE setup: stores the current setup to the on-disk configuration.
- EDIT setup: opens an edit window, allowing manual changes to the
on-disk configuration file (this should not be necessary).
- CHANGE PROFILE: allows the VMS Mail
user's profile to be modified.
- The author has found this to be a useful combination of settings:
window: | 10 |
check NEWMAIL: | 15 |
"mail" folder buttons: | top |
"user" folder buttons: | top |
folder OPEN/MOVE/COPY: | bottom |
CREATE-SEND button: | bottom |
message edit window: | 20 |
"pick" fields: | none |
- Once a setup has been selected and hidden again create a
bookmark containing these settings so that they may easily be reused (they
are not stored anywhere else).
