Reading Messages

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Getting New Messages

+ +

For an IMAP account, you can retrieve new messages automatically and display + them in the Inbox by opening Mail & Newsgroups and selecting the Inbox + for the IMAP account.

+ +

For a POP account, you must select the Inbox and click Get Msgs to retrieve + your messages. By default, messages from your POP account are downloaded in + full and deleted from the POP server when you retrieve them. You can + change your POP + server settings to retrieve just the headers and/or store a copy of + messages on the server in addition to downloading them to your computer.

+ +

For news accounts, expanding the account newsgroups list will automatically + check for new items, as it will by just selecting one of the newsgroups. + While reading a newsgroup, you can force checking for new items by clicking + Get Msgs.

+ +

For blogs & feeds accounts, the first time you expand the account, it + will be checked for new items. Besides that, you can force checking for new + items at any time by clicking Get Msgs.

+ +

You can also set up Mail & Newsgroups to get new messages at startup and + to check for new messages at timed intervals.

+ + + + + + + + + +
Mail & Newsgroups icon
+ +

The Mail & Newsgroups icon on the status bar displays a green arrow to + notify you when new messages have arrived.

+ + + + + + + + + +
New mail notification
+ +

To set up a mail account to automatically check for new messages, begin from + the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Edit menu and choose Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings. You + see the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings dialog box.
    2. +
  2. If you have multiple accounts, select an account and click the Server + Settings category for that account.
    3. +
  3. Select one or both of the following options in the Server Settings + section: +
      +
    • Check for new mail at startup: Select this checkbox + if you want to check this account automatically for new messages + whenever you start Mail & Newsgroups. For POP accounts, Mail & + Newsgroups checks for new mail, but doesn't download new messages + until you click Get Msgs or unless you choose Automatically download + any new messages.
      • +
    • Check for new messages every [__] minutes: Select + this checkbox if you want to specify the number of minutes between mail + checks. You can also check for new messages at any time by clicking Get + Msgs in the Mail window.
      • +
    +
    4. +
  4. Click OK. Your settings take effect the next time you start + &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups.
    5. +
+ +

To set up &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups to play a sound or display + an alert when new mail arrives, see Mail & Newsgroups + Preferences - Notifications.

+ +

You can always retrieve messages manually at any time. To get new messages + for the selected account or newsgroup, do one of the following:

+ + + +

To get new messages for all your mail accounts, begin from the Mail + window:

+ +
    +
  1. Click the triangle on the Get Msgs button in the Mail toolbar.
    2. +
  2. Choose Get All New Messages. &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups + retrieves new messages for all your mail accounts. + +

    If you are not currently logged into one of your mail accounts, Mail + & Newsgroups first prompts you to enter your user name and password + before retrieving new messages for that account. (If you have already + stored your user name and password using the Password Manager, Mail & + Newsgroups doesn't prompt you for this information.)

    +
    3. +
+ +

Note: You can also open the File menu (in the Mail window) + and choose Get New Messages for.

+ +

To get new messages for a specific mail account, begin from the Mail + window:

+ +
    +
  1. Click the triangle on the Get Msgs button on the Mail toolbar.
    2. +
  2. Choose the account for which you want to retrieve mail.
    3. +
+ +

Note: Mail & Newsgroups prompts you for your password + the first time you retrieve messages for an account. You can choose to have + Mail & Newsgroups store your password in the Password Manager at that + time.

+ +

Password Manager can save all your user names and passwords on your own + computer and enter them for you automatically. For more information, see + Using the Password + Manager.

To group messages by threading (subject), so each message is grouped with + all its responses:

+ + + + + + + + + + + +
Thread button
+ +

Tip: The thread button automatically sorts the threads by + the age of their parent messages. If you want to use another sort criterion + for the threads, open the View menu and select the desired option from the + Sort by submenu.

+ +

Tip: Select Preserve threading when sorting messages + in the Mail & + Newsgroups Preferences if you want &brandShortName; to preserve the + threaded message grouping when sorting messages with column header clicks. The + thread button just toggles between threaded and unthreaded message grouping in + this mode. If Preserve threading when sorting messages is not selected, + &brandShortName; automatically displays the messages unthreaded when you sort + them by clicking on a column header.

+ +

Tip: To help you identify unread messages in a collapsed + thread where you've read the parent message, &brandShortName; Mail & + Newsgroups underlines the parent message.

Sending Messages

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Composing Mail and Newsgroup + Messages

+ +

You can address, compose, reply to, or send a new message by doing one of + the following:

+ + + +

Tip: Use the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings - + Composition & + Addressing dialog box to specify the HTML text editor to use for + composing messages sent from this account. (You can specify a different + editor for each of your accounts.) See + Changing + the Settings for an Account for more information.

+ +

Note: It is generally not possible to compose messages for + them to be published in blogs & news feeds accounts. If you want to + publish posts in a blog (and you have the appropiate rights to do it), you + will need to use the mechanisms provided by the specific blog system. In some + cases, this can even include sending a mail message to a specific address.

+ +

Composing messages in HTML format allows you to use different fonts, text + styles (such as bold or italic) and text colors, tables, numbered or bulleted + lists, and pictures in your messages. However, some recipients may only be + able to read messages composed in plain text format. If you want to use the + plain-text editor occasionally, you can hold down the Shift key while + clicking the Compose or the Reply button to use the plain-text editor on an + as-needed basis.

+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

Using the Message Composition + Window

+ +

Use the Compose window to address, compose, and send mail and newsgroup + messages. First specify whether you want to compose messages in plain text or + HTML by default in the Composition & + Addressing Preferences panel (open the Edit menu and choose Mail & + Newsgroups Account Settings).

+ +

To view the Compose window, click the Compose button on the Mail + toolbar.

+ +

The Compose window contains the following:

+ + + +

If you've chosen to compose messages using the HTML editor, you see an + additional toolbar with text formatting buttons similar to those in + &brandShortName; Composer.

+ +

For help using the HTML editor, see + Formatting Your Web + Pages.

+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

Addressing a Message

+ +

To address a mail message:

+ +
    +
  1. Type the name in the addressing area. + +

    If you have address + autocompletion enabled (it's enabled by default), type the first + few letters of the recipient's name and wait for Mail & + Newsgroups to complete the address. (Or you can type part of the name and + immediately press ReturnEnter to have Mail & Newsgroups try to complete + the address.)

    +
    2. +
  2. If multiple addresses are displayed, select an address and press + ReturnEnter. + +

    Note: Use a comma to separate multiple addresses on the + same line. Do not use a comma to separate first or last names. For + example, multiple entries might be:

    + +

    user1@netscape.net,user2@netscape.net

    +
    3. +
  3. If you want this message to be sent from a different account, click the + From field to select the account you want. See + Changing the + Account From Which a Message is Sent for more information.
    4. +
  4. If necessary, click To to choose a different recipient type: +
      +
    • To: For primary recipients of your message.
      • +
    • Cc: For secondary recipients (carbon copy).
      • +
    • Bcc: For secondary recipients not identified to the + other recipients, including those in the cc list (blind carbon + copy).
      • +
    • Reply-To: For recipients to reply to a different + email address other than the one the message is sent from.
      • +
    • Newsgroup: For posting to a newsgroup.
      • +
    • Followup-To: For redirecting a newsgroup posting, so + that subsequent replies go directly to the redirected newsgroup instead + of the original newsgroup.
      • +
    +
    5. +
+ +

Tip: You can quickly address a message by clicking the + email address contained in a message you're reading, and then selecting + Compose Mail To from the pop-up menu.

+ +

Changing the + Account From Which a Message is Sent

+ +

If you have multiple mail accounts, the account listed in the From field is + based on the account (or server) you selected when you choose to create a new + message. However, &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups also allows you to + change the account a message is sent from while you're composing a + message. Click the From field to view a list of your accounts and then select + the account you want. A copy of the message is saved in the Sent folder of + the account where you sent the message from.

+ +

About Address Autocompletion

+ +

Address autocompletion allows you to address mail easily from the Compose + window without having to search for names or type complete names. Mail & + Newsgroups automatically checks your address books and an + LDAP directory server (if available) and + completes the name if it finds a unique match. It also prevents mistakes by + showing all possible choices with additional information if it finds multiple + matches. Address autocompletion is enabled by default.

+ +

If you don't want to use an address that Mail & Newsgroups + provides, press Backspace or Delete to remove characters and then enter an + alternate address.

+ +

To disable address autocompletion:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Mail & Newsgroups category, click Addressing. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Mail & Newsgroups to expand + the list).
    3. +
  3. In the Address Autocompletion section, deselect Local Address + Books and Directory Server.
    4. +
  4. Click OK.
    5. +

      +
    • Select below the quote (recommended) to place your signature + at the very end of the message below the quoted text.
      • +
    • Select below my reply (above the quote) to place your + signature between your reply and the quoted text.
      • +
    + +

    Note: If you have created a signature, you can + optionally omit + it when replying to a message.

    +
    6. +

Forwarding a Message

+ +

When you forward a message, you can specify how its contents are included + in the new message: inline (in the body of the message), or as an + attachment.

+ +

To forward a message:

+ +
    +
  1. Select the message and click Forward.
    2. +
  2. Type the name or email address of the recipient.
    3. +
  3. Click Send.

+ +

Confirming That Your Message + Was Opened

+ +

You can use return receipts to notify you when a recipient has displayed + (opened) your message. The recipient must be using a mail program that + supports the Message Disposition Notification (MDN) standard. Keep in mind + that the recipient may choose not to send you a return receipt, even if + you've requested one. Messages you send to a newsgroup address will not + include a return receipt request, since news servers don't support this + feature.

+ +

To request return receipts for all messages you send, you can use the global + Return + Receipt preferences to specify how to manage requests you receive for + return receipts. You can override these global preferences for individual + accounts.

+ +

To request a return receipt on a per-message basis:

+ + + +

To automatically request return receipts when sending messages from each of + your mail accounts:

Creating HTML Mail Messages

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Using HTML in Your Messages

+ +

HTML messages can include formatted text, links, images, and + tables—just like a web page. However, some recipients may not be able + to receive HTML messages. &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups allows you + to compose mail and newsgroup messages using either the HTML (rich-text) + formatting editor or the plain-text editor for each mail account you have. + In addition, you can choose whether your addressees should receive HTML or + plain-text messages by default, and how Mail & Newsgroups should handle + messages when it's not known if an addressee can receive HTML-formatted + mail.

+ +

To specify whether to use the HTML editor as the default for composing + messages, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Edit menu and choose Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings. You + see the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings dialog box.
    2. +
  2. Select the mail or newsgroup account you want to use.
    3. +
  3. Go to the Composition & Addressing panel and select Compose + messages in HTML format. You see the Formatting toolbar in the Compose + window. Leave this box unchecked to use the plain-text editor for this + account.
    4. +
+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Editing or Inserting HTML + Elements

+ +

If you understand how to work with HTML source code, you can edit or insert + additional HTML tags, style attributes, and JavaScript in your mail message. + If you are not sure how to work with HTML source code, it's best not to + change it. To work with HTML code, use one of these methods:

+ + + +

For more information on editing HTML source code, see + Using the + Advanced Property Editor.

+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Choosing HTML Mail Sending + Options

+ +

By default, Mail & Newsgroups prompts you before sending HTML messages + when it's not known whether the recipient's mail program can + display HTML-formatted messages.

+ +

To choose sending-format options for mail messages, begin from the Mail + window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Mail & Newsgroups category, click + Send Format. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Mail & Newsgroups to expand the + list). + +

    Note: This preference applies only to mail messages, + not to newsgroup messages.

    +
    3. +
  3. Select the option you want and then click OK.
    4. +
+ +

If while composing a message you realize that one or more recipients may not + be able to receive HTML-formatted mail, you can easily convert the message to + a different format when you click Send:

+ +
    +
  1. In the Compose window, open the Options menu and choose Format.
    2. +
  2. Select the format you want to use for sending the message from the + submenu: +
      +
    • Auto Detect: Mail & Newsgroups chooses the + appropriate format for the message text. If it can't determine the + format, it asks you to choose a format.
      • +
    • Plain Text Only: The message may not display + formatting such as bold text, but all mail programs will be able to + display the message.
      • +
    • Rich Text (HTML) Only: Some mail programs may have + trouble displaying an HTML-formatted message. Choose this option only + if you are sure the recipient's mail program can display + HTML-formatted mail.
      • +
    • Plain and Rich (HTML) Text: This uses more disk + space, but may be the best choice if you are not sure whether the + recipient's mail program can display HTML-formatted mail.
      • +
    +
    3. +
  3. When you've finished composing the message, click Send.
    4. +

    If this recipient can only read messages sent as plain text (no + formatting), then choose Plain Text. If you don't know or are not + sure, choose Unknown.

    + +

    If you choose Unknown, &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups determines + the sending format based on the Send Format settings for Mail & + Newsgroups in the Preferences dialog box. If Mail & Newsgroups still + can't determine the correct format, it will prompt you to choose a + sending format when you send the message.

Viewing and Opening Attachments

+ +

If you receive a mail attachment that consists of a file type that + &brandShortName; can display (such as graphic files and HTML files), you see + the attachment displayed inline (in the body of the message). For other file + types, Mail & Newsgroups lets you open the attachment using another + application, or you can save the attachment on your hard disk.

+ +

To open the attachment, make sure you have a program on your computer that + can open files of the same type as the attachment's file format. For + example, if you want to open a .DOC file, make sure you have a program on + your computer that can open .DOC files.

+ +

To open an attachment:

+ +
    +
  1. Double-click the attachment you want (if there is more than one).
    2. +
  2. In the Downloading dialog box, choose what you want &brandShortName; to + do with the attachment: +
      +
    • If &brandShortName; finds an application on your hard disk that can + open the attachment, you can open the attachment using that + application. Click Choose to use a different application to open + the attachment.
      • +
    • If &brandShortName; can't find an application on your hard disk + that can open the attachment, you can save the attachment. You + won't be able to open the attachment, but at least you can save + it on your hard disk until you can install an application that can open + it.
      • +
    • Click Advanced to add a new file type to the list of helper + applications. &brandShortName; uses helper applications to determine + how different file types are opened by other applications from within + &brandShortName;. For more information, see + Plugins and + Downloads.
      • +
    +
    3. +
  3. Click OK.
    4. +
+ +

Note: If you are viewing your mail using an IMAP mail + server, all attachments remain on the server.
