  16. <P>The appearance of the Sylpheed windows is controlled by
  17. a Gtk+ theme (as Sylpheed is based on the Gtk+ toolkit).
  18. Read the Gtk+ or your distribution documentation to find
  19. how to change the Gtk+ theme.</P>
  20. <H2><A NAME="ss7.1">7.1</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7.1">Folder view</A>
  21. </H2>
  22. <P>The folder view shows you all the mail folders that you have created,
  23. in a tree-like structure. If you want to see the headers of the messages
  24. in a specific folder, just click the name of the folder once, and in the
  25. summary view (2) you can see the messages in the selected mail folder.</P>
  26. <P>When you see a + sign in front of a folder name, that means the folder
  27. branch of that part of the tree is 'collapsed'. You can expand that
  28. part by clicking the + sign. In that same manner you can also collapse
  29. the - sign in front of an expanded branch of the folder tree.</P>
  30. <P>The folder pane can be resized be dragging (left mouse button down)
  31. the handle found on the left of the folder view.</P>
  32. <P>The folder window can be detached from the main Sylpheed window
  33. by selecting the menu action: <CODE>View -> Separate folder tree</CODE>.
  34. When exiting the current state of the folder window (attached or
  35. detached) is saved to be restored when re-starting Sylpheed.
  36. To re-attach the folder window, de-select the menu entry.</P>
  37. <H3>Special folders:</H3>
  38. <P><I>Draft:</I> here you store messages that you want to send out more often,
  39. or you want to work on some more. Using the 'reedit' option from the
  40. message menu, you can edit the message further.</P>
  41. <P><I>Trash:</I> in here all your deleted messages go. Depending on the common
  42. preferences setting, this box is or is not emptied when you end Sylpheed.</P>
  43. <P><I>Sent:</I> in here are saved the messages you send (enabled by a
  44. common preference setting and the folder can be changed by an account
  45. preference setting).</P>
  46. <P><I>Queue:</I> this folder contains the composed messaged waiting to
  47. be sent (with Sylpheed message sending can be delayed).</P>
  48. <H2><A NAME="ss7.2">7.2</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7.2">Summary view</A>
  49. </H2>
  50. <P>The summary pane can show you many things. You can select what you
  51. want to see from the Summary menu, selecting the option
  52. "Set display item". A list of all options is:
  53. <UL>
  54. <LI>Mark: shows if the message is marked.</LI>
  55. <LI>Unread: shows if the message is read or not</LI>
  56. <LI>MIME: shows MIME attachments</LI>
  57. <LI>Number: shows the MH number of the message</LI>
  58. <LI>Size: the size of the entire message including attachments</LI>
  59. <LI>Date: the date of sending by the sender</LI>
  60. <LI>From: who sent the message</LI>
  61. <LI>Subject: what the message is about</LI>
  62. </UL>
  63. </P>
  64. <P>You can sort the summary view in many ways, by clicking the button
  65. that is above the column. Click once to sort going up (a-z), click
  66. once more to sort going down (z-a).</P>
  67. <P>If you think the size of a column is not right, you can adjust that
  68. by placing the mouse cursor next to the button of the column you
  69. want to adjust, press mousebutton1 (left button) and drag the
  70. column to the width you want it to have.</P>
  71. <P>Select a message by clicking on it with the mouse. Once the summary
  72. pane has the focus of the program, you can also move up and down
  73. in the list through the cursor keys, or pressing "p"(revious) and
  74. "n"(ext) as in Pine.</P>
  75. <H2><A NAME="ss7.3">7.3</A> <A HREF="sylpheed.html#toc7.3">Message view</A>
  76. </H2>
  77. <P>In the message view you can read the message that you selected in
  78. the summary pane. If you entered the summary pane without selecting
  79. a message, the message view will be empty. At the top of the
  80. message view some info is presented about the message you are
  81. reading, as well as some statistics on the selected folder.</P>
  82. <P>You can scroll up and down in the message by using the arrow keys
  83. (after clicking inside the message), or by using the scrollbar.</P>
  84. <P>The size of the message and summary views can be adjusted by dragging
  85. (with the left mouse button down) the handle that appears between
  86. the two panes.</P>
  87. <P>The small arrow located just below the summary pane scrollbar can
  88. be used to detach the message view. When clicked, the summary view
  89. is extended down to the bottom of the Sylpheed window, and the messages
  90. are displayed is a separate window (when you double click them in the
  91. summary pane). This state is not saved on exit, and the message window
  92. can be restored below the summary one by clicking again the small arrow.</P>
  93. <P>When the current message contains attachments, two tabs
  94. are displayed in the message window. Selecting the first one makes
  95. the message window display the text body of the message, while selecting
  96. the second tab makes the message window display the attachment part
  97. of the message. In the latter case, the message window is splitted
  98. in two parts, the top one contains the attachments as a tree
  99. with the MIME type, size and file name of each part, while the bottom
  100. part contains the content of the selected attachment (if the attachment
  101. is an image and Sylpheed has been compiled with the gdk-pixbuf or
  102. the imlib library).</P>
