Hi Karin,
On 18 September 2000 at 21:22:48 GMT +0200 (which was 20:22 where I
live) Karin Spaink wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Questions (I'm still too new a user)":
KS> 1. Before I made a totally new private address book, I had already
KS> created two nicknames. I can't seem to find them anywhere, but
KS> they still work - does anybody have a clue as to where they might
KS> have gone?
None at all! Exploring the AB might reveal them at one level or
another. Unless by "nicknames" you mean addresses that fill themselves
in in the "To:" field when you are typing... if so then those
addresses are pulled from the To field history drop-down list.
KS> 2. Is there any .ini file that can be manually tuned?
KS> (Sidequestion: why is all the information about accpounts,
KS> settings, filters, address books etc, all in a format that
KS> cannot be viewed in file format?
Sadly not. This was the topic of a recent lively discussion here on
the downside of keeping all settings in the registry. We have been
assured that this is changing soon.
KS> 3. Is there any way to manually edit received messages (.e.g
KS> the Pencil function in Eudora, editing the inbox. file in
KS> Netscape), other than to export the message, edit and then
KS> import it? I tried the Netscape method - reading a mailbox
KS> into Wordpad, take out whatever, close and reread the
KS> mailbox. That won't work.
Export /edit / import is the best way (the "received" headers don't
get changed). Drag to outbox, open, edit, drag back (before it gets
accidentally sent) is the other.
KS> 4. Mailbox management: I miss a drag and drop option that
KS> will allow you to move the mailbox (properties and all) to a
KS> different place in the mailbox structure. Now I need to set
KS> up a new mailbox, move messages and adjust filters &
KS> templates.
Use Alt-Drag to move a folder to the same level as the folder you drop
it on. Use Ctrl-Drag to move a folder to the within the folder you
drop it on.
KS> 5. Flagging. I can't really figure what the little red
KS> flags in the overview folder window stands for, or what it
KS> is supposed to do.
No I can't either. You can toggle it on/off on a message, sort by it,
turn it on in a filter and use it as a search criteria.
KS> 6. Folder tree: I can't fully gather how the numbers after
KS> the folder name mean. Example, currently that tree contains,
KS> amongst others:
KS> inbox 0 (7) 1 (11)
KS> mailinglists 0 (7) 0 (10)
KS> - HFH 3 4
KS> - Swans 4 6
KS> people 0 (1)
KS> - Zenon 1
KS> sotware 0 (16) 0 (19)
KS> - TheBat 16 19
KS> My inbox contains 1 read message. Where does the (11) come
KS> from,
The folders contained within the inbox have 11 messages scattered
around somewhere in the hierarchy.
KS> or the (7) for that matter?
... and 7 of them are New (unread).
KS> The (7) and (10) in Mailinglists I understand: the two underlying
KS> mailboxes contain 7 unread messages and 10 in total. Same for the
KS> Software folder. But the meaning of the numbers after the inbox
KS> elude me.
I think you have your folder map wrong. From the numbers you have
quoted I would say it looks more like this:
inbox 0 (7) 1 (11)
- mailinglists 0 (7) 0 (10)
- HFH 3 4
- Swans 4 6
- people 0 (1)
- Zenon 1
sotware 0 (16) 0 (19)
- TheBat 16 19
