One of the great things about SquirrelMail is the degree to which it may be customized.
|
|
Depending on the configuration, you may have several choices of themes, languages,
|
|
folders, and other preferences. All of these may be changed without affecting any other
|
|
users on the system. There are at least five main parts to the Options:
|
|
Personal, Display, Message Highlighting, Folders and Index Order.
|
|
More parts may be available depending on your SquirrelMail installation.

Personal Information
|
|
</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<b>Full Name</b><br />
|
|
You should put your entire name here. For example, "John Doe". This is what is
|
|
shown to people that you send the message to. They will see that it is from
|
|
"John Doe". If you don't fill this in, they will see it is from your email address,
|
|
"jdoe@example.org".
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>E-Mail Address</b><br />
|
|
<i>Optional</i> - If your email address is different than what is automatically
|
|
assigned, you can change it here.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Reply To</b><br />
|
|
<i>Optional</i> - This is the email address that people will reply to when they
|
|
reply to your message. If this is different than the email address you are sending
|
|
from, you can enter it here. This is useful if you want people to reply to your
|
|
Yahoo account rather than your office address.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Multiple Identities</b><br />
|
|
Click this link to edit multiple identities. This is useful if you want to
|
|
choose between different From-lines for different messages (for example
|
|
containing your work or your home emailaddress. On the page that appears,
|
|
you can add as many identities as you like. You will be offered a choice
|
|
of these when composing a message.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Reply Citation</b><br />
|
|
If you press Reply on a message, you will be presented with the Compose
|
|
form with the original message quoted. Before this quoted message, a text
|
|
like <tt>John Doe wrote:</tt> might be prepended (if the message you're replying
|
|
to originated from John Doe). This is called the citation line. Here you
|
|
can choose how this line looks.<br />
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>No Citation</b><br />
|
|
Prepends no citation line whatsoever.<br /><br />
|
|
<li><b>Author Wrote</b><br />
|
|
This produces the line: <tt>John Doe Wrote:</tt> where John Doe will be replaced
|
|
by whoever the message you're replying to was from.<br /><br />
|
|
<li><b>Quote Who XML</b><br />
|
|
This produces the line: <tt><quote who="John Doe"></tt>.<br /><br />
|
|
<li><b>User-Defined</b><br />
|
|
Enables you to define your own citation line. In the two text boxes below, you
|
|
can type in the citation start and end. Between these the author name will be
|
|
inserted.
|
|
</ul><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Signature</b><br />
|
|
<i>Optional</i> - Signatures are attached at the bottom of all messages you send
|
|
out. If you want a signature, you must make sure that the checkbox beside
|
|
"use a signature" is checked, and then fill in what you want your signature to be
|
|
in the box below it.

Display Preferences
|

</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<b>Theme</b><br />
|
|
SquirrelMail offers different color themes for your viewing pleasure. You can
|
|
choose between the many listed there if you so desire.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Custom Stylesheet</b><br />
|
|
Changing a theme only changes the colors, a stylesheet may change more, for
|
|
example the font size used by SquirrelMail.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Language</b><br />
|
|
If English isn't your native tongue, you can easily change the language that
|
|
most things display in. If your desired language is in the list, you can choose
|
|
it and all future SquirrelMail related messages will be in that language. Note
|
|
that this doesn't translate incoming email messages or folder names.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Use Javascript</b><br />
|
|
One of our main goals in creating SquirrelMail was to have no Javascript in
|
|
any of our pages. However, some of our developers made a very good address
|
|
book searching utility that uses Javascript. Some other Javascript functions
|
|
were added aswell. Rather than remove it, we now
|
|
give you the option of using
|
|
pure HTML or allow Javascript aswell. If
|
|
you don't know what this means, you are safest to choose Autodetect.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Number of Messages to Index</b><br />
|
|
This is the number of messages to show at a time in a folder. If there are
|
|
more than this number in the folder, you will see a "Previous" and "Next" link
|
|
above and below the listing which will take you to the previous or next
|
|
messages.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Enable Page Selector</b><br />
|
|
Setting this to Yes shows page numbers above and below the message list to
|
|
quickly jump to a specific page of messages. The number <b>Maximum pages to show</b>
|
|
can limit how many page numbers will be displayed above and below the
|
|
message list.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Wrap incoming text at</b><br />
|
|
How many characters should we allow before wrapping the text. This prevents
|
|
messages from scrolling way off the screen. 86 is usually a safe thing to
|
|
put in here, but you are free to change it to whatever you desire.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Size of editor window</b><br />
|
|
How wide do you want your "Compose" box to be? This is the number of characters
|
|
per line that you will be able to type before wrapping in the Compose section.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Location of Buttons when Composing</b><br />
|
|
Where are the buttons Addresses, Save Draft and Send located?<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Addressbook Display Format</b><br />
|
|
Choose how you want the addressbook to be displayed. If you want maximum
|
|
compatibility with all browsers, use HTML. Select Javascript if you
|
|
know your browser supports it, it will display a nicer addressbook.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Show HTML Version by Default</b><br />
|
|
If a message you receive is in both text and HTML format, you can choose
|
|
if you want to see the HTML version (Yes) or the text version (No) by
|
|
default.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Include Me in CC when I Reply All</b><br />
|
|
Reply All sends your reply to all recepients of the original message,
|
|
including yourself. To leave your own email address out, set this to No.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Enable Mailer Display</b><br />
|
|
When viewing a message, this displays which email program the sender used.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Display Attached Images with Message</b><br />
|
|
If someone sends you a message with one or more images attached and you've
|
|
set this to Yes, the images will be displayed right away when you view
|
|
the message.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Other Options</b><br />
|
|
Depending on the configuration of your SquirrelMail installation, some more
|
|
options might be displayed here. They hopefully should be self-explanatory.

Message Highlighting
|
|
</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
The idea for this came because if you are subscribed to many mailing lists,
|
|
it is very hard to distinguish which messages came from where while reading
|
|
through the list of messages. With Message Highlighting, you can have the
|
|
background color of all messages from one mailing list different than the
|
|
color of another list.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
Just click on [New] to create a new one, or [Edit] to edit an existing one
|
|
and the options will appear below.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Identifying Name</b><br />
|
|
This is simply the name that you see which describes what it is. For
|
|
example, if you are highlighting messages from your mother, you might
|
|
set this to "From Mom".
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Color</b><br />
|
|
This is the actual color that the background will be. You can choose between
|
|
a number of pre-defined colors that we have selected for you, or you can enter
|
|
the HEX code for the color that you desire (i.e. a6b492). If you choose to
|
|
enter your own color, you must also select the radio button in front so that it is
|
|
checked.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Match</b><br />
|
|
Here you can choose the matching phrase. From the drop-down box, you can
|
|
choose which header field to match against (to, from, subject...) and in the
|
|
text box, you can enter the phrase to match (mom@yahoo.com).

Folder Preferences
|
|
</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<b>Folder Path</b><br />
|
|
On some systems this will not be displayed. If you don't see this option, just
|
|
ignore this. On other systems, this is quite a necessary feature. Usually the
|
|
option that is in there is what should be there. This is the folder in your
|
|
home directory that holds all your email folders. If you don't understand this,
|
|
just leave it what it is.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Trash Folder</b><br />
|
|
You can choose which folder messages will be sent to when you delete them. If
|
|
you don't want deleted messages to go to the trash, set this to "Don't use Trash".
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Sent Folder</b><br />
|
|
You can choose which folder your sent messages will go to. If you don't want
|
|
these, just set it to "Don't use Sent".
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Draft Folder</b><br />
|
|
You can choose which folder the messages you save as draft will go to.
|
|
If you don't want to use this, just set it to "Don't use Drafts".
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Location of folder list</b><br />
|
|
Determines wether you want the list of folders on the left or right of your
|
|
window.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Width of folder list</b><br />
|
|
With this option, you can select how wide the list of folders will be.
|
|
If you have very long folder names or large fonts, it is good to set this
|
|
pretty high. Otherwise, you should set it low so you don't waste screen space.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Auto refresh folder list</b><br />
|
|
SquirrelMail has the functionality to automatically refresh the folder listing
|
|
on the left side of your browser window. This will also update the number of
|
|
unseen messages that are in each folder. This is a good way to check for unseen
|
|
messages in the INBOX without having to click on it every time.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Enable Unread Message Notification</b><br />
|
|
This option specifies how to display unseen messages in the folder listing on the
|
|
right side of your browser window. If you set this to No Notification, you will
|
|
not be notified of unseen messages. If you set it to INBOX, when you have new
|
|
messages, the INBOX will become bold and a number will appear to the right of it
|
|
to say how many new messages are in it. If you set it to All Folders, this
|
|
behavior will happen on all folders. If you notice that loading the folder list
|
|
is really slow, you can set this to INBOX and that should speed it up.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Unseen message notification type</b><br />
|
|
When new messages are in a folder, this option tells
|
|
either to only display the number of new messages or also display the
|
|
total number of messages in that folder.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Enable Collapsable Folders</b><br />
|
|
Collapsable Folders allow you to 'fold' or collapse a folder which contains
|
|
subfolders so the subfolders will not be displayed. You can collapse a
|
|
folder by clicking the "-" next to it and expand it again with the "+" sign.
|
|
Setting this to No disables collapsing.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Show Clock on Folders Panel</b><br />
|
|
Choose if you want a clock to be displayed above the folder list and how
|
|
it should look (Y=year, D=day, H=hour, M=minute, S=second). The option
|
|
<b>Hour Format</b> below gives you the choice of a 12- or 24-hour clock.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Memory Search</b><br />
|
|
If you search a mailbox, the search will be saved for quick access later.
|
|
This defines how many mailbox searches will be saved.
|
|
<br /><br />
