GNUMail.app User's Guideby Martin Brecher <martin@mb-itconsulting.com> The first message [top of page]As promised before, we will now compose a first message which we will send to ourself for testing purposes. Composing a first message [top of page]There are several ways to compose a new message, you may:
Just to have an example, send a simple message to yourself. If you have a local mail system running and set GNUMail.app to use this to fetch and send mail, then it should be enough to enter your local user name (maybe append a @localhost). Click the Send button after you have completed your input to deliver the mail. Receiving our message [top of page]To have GNUMail.app check for new messages click the Get button in the Inbox window or use the Mailbox -> Get New Mail menu function. If everything succeded you should see the message we composed before in the Inbox list. If not, you may have to wait a little for the SMTP and POP3 servers to transfer the mail - or something went wrong... If the new message appears in the list, you can click on it and its contents will be displayed in the viewing pane at the bottom. |
