- <H2><A NAME="s7">7.</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7">Dialogs and views</A></H2>
- <P>The appearance of the Sylpheed windows is controlled by
- a Gtk+ theme (as Sylpheed is based on the Gtk+ toolkit).
- Read the Gtk+ or your distribution documentation to find
- how to change the Gtk+ theme.</P>
- <H2><A NAME="ss7.1">7.1</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7.1">Folder view</A>
- </H2>
- <P>The folder view shows you all the mail folders that you have created,
- in a tree-like structure. If you want to see the headers of the messages
- in a specific folder, just click the name of the folder once, and in the
- summary view (2) you can see the messages in the selected mail folder.</P>
- <P>When you see a + sign in front of a folder name, that means the folder
- branch of that part of the tree is 'collapsed'. You can expand that
- part by clicking the + sign. In that same manner you can also collapse
- the - sign in front of an expanded branch of the folder tree.</P>
- <P>The folder pane can be resized be dragging (left mouse button down)
- the handle found on the left of the folder view.</P>
- <P>The folder window can be detached from the main Sylpheed window
- by selecting the menu action: <CODE>View -> Separate folder tree</CODE>.
- When exiting the current state of the folder window (attached or
- detached) is saved to be restored when re-starting Sylpheed.
- To re-attach the folder window, de-select the menu entry.</P>
- <H3>Special folders:</H3>
- <P><I>Draft:</I> here you store messages that you want to send out more often,
- or you want to work on some more. Using the 'reedit' option from the
- message menu, you can edit the message further.</P>
- <P><I>Trash:</I> in here all your deleted messages go. Depending on the common
- preferences setting, this box is or is not emptied when you end Sylpheed.</P>
- <P><I>Sent:</I> in here are saved the messages you send (enabled by a
- common preference setting and the folder can be changed by an account
- preference setting).</P>
- <P><I>Queue:</I> this folder contains the composed messaged waiting to
- be sent (with Sylpheed message sending can be delayed).</P>
- <H2><A NAME="ss7.2">7.2</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7.2">Summary view</A>
- </H2>
- <P>The summary pane can show you many things. You can select what you
- want to see from the Summary menu, selecting the option
- "Set display item". A list of all options is:
- <UL>
- <LI>Mark: shows if the message is marked.</LI>
- <LI>Unread: shows if the message is read or not</LI>
- <LI>MIME: shows MIME attachments</LI>
- <LI>Number: shows the MH number of the message</LI>
- <LI>Size: the size of the entire message including attachments</LI>
- <LI>Date: the date of sending by the sender</LI>
- <LI>From: who sent the message</LI>
- <LI>Subject: what the message is about</LI>
- </UL>
- </P>
- <P>You can sort the summary view in many ways, by clicking the button
- that is above the column. Click once to sort going up (a-z), click
- once more to sort going down (z-a).</P>
- <P>If you think the size of a column is not right, you can adjust that
- by placing the mouse cursor next to the button of the column you
- want to adjust, press mousebutton1 (left button) and drag the
- column to the width you want it to have.</P>
- <P>Select a message by clicking on it with the mouse. Once the summary
- pane has the focus of the program, you can also move up and down
- in the list through the cursor keys, or pressing "p"(revious) and
- "n"(ext) as in Pine.</P>
- <H2><A NAME="ss7.3">7.3</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7.3">Message view</A>
- </H2>
- <P>In the message view you can read the message that you selected in
- the summary pane. If you entered the summary pane without selecting
- a message, the message view will be empty. At the top of the
- message view some info is presented about the message you are
- reading, as well as some statistics on the selected folder.</P>
- <P>You can scroll up and down in the message by using the arrow keys
- (after clicking inside the message), or by using the scrollbar.</P>
- <P>The size of the message and summary views can be adjusted by dragging
- (with the left mouse button down) the handle that appears between
- the two panes.</P>
- <P>The small arrow located just below the summary pane scrollbar can
- be used to detach the message view. When clicked, the summary view
- is extended down to the bottom of the Sylpheed window, and the messages
- are displayed is a separate window (when you double click them in the
- summary pane). This state is not saved on exit, and the message window
- can be restored below the summary one by clicking again the small arrow.</P>
- <P>When the current message contains attachments, two tabs
- are displayed in the message window. Selecting the first one makes
- the message window display the text body of the message, while selecting
- the second tab makes the message window display the attachment part
- of the message. In the latter case, the message window is splitted
- in two parts, the top one contains the attachments as a tree
- with the MIME type, size and file name of each part, while the bottom
- part contains the content of the selected attachment (if the attachment
- is an image and Sylpheed has been compiled with the gdk-pixbuf or
- the imlib library).</P>
