Once mail is received you can have &korn; run a 3rd party +program of your wishes or change the color/icon of &korn; while docked in +&kicker;. In addition to this you can have &korn; run a program once you click +on the docked icon in &kicker;. + +The rest of this chapter relies on the user to &RMB; click on the &korn; +icon in the &kicker; panel to access the appropriate menus. + + + +The Preferences Dialog + + + +The buttons + +The Preferences window is the most powerful part of +&korn;. At a first glimpse you may underestimate its capabilities, but further +under-the-hood you will find many ways to use &korn;. + +The first tab lists your current mailboxes. As default &korn; installs +Inbox as the default mailbox. The default Inbox +may not fit most users needs. With this default mailbox in place &korn; will +check the path /var/spool/mail/user for +new mail. + +The New... +button will be covered in the next section. Please jump ahead if that is the +section you need assistance with. + +If you would like to remove the selected mailbox, click the +Remove button on the right. You can also copy the +selected mailbox if you don't wish to create two similar mailboxes twice. + +Finally, after you have created a mailbox (see the next section), you can +modify it by selecting the mailbox you wish to edit and then clicking +Modify.... This dialog contains the same options as +when you click New.... + + + + + +The <guilabel>Display</guilabel> Tab + +The display tab contains the options to change where &korn; will show +itself. + +The first option, Horizontal, will create a window +and the contents of the window will contain the options you specified in the +View tab (which you can get to by selecting your mailbox +and clicking Modify...). On the other hand, selecting +Docked will dock &korn; into the &kicker; panel. + +The option Vertical is similar to +Horizontal, except the accounts stack +vertically. + + + +The <guilabel>New...</guilabel> Dialog + +The New... button will load a window showing you +what mailboxes can be created for checking on a interval. Select your +appropriate mailbox type. If you don't know what type you should use, and you +currently use Netscape to check your mail, use +POP3. + +Following that window the modify options appear, allowing you to change +all aspects of the mail checking, including interval. + +Each mailbox type (&ie;: Pop3, nntp, imap) has different server options, +but the rest of the options (including Poll, Commands, and View) are the same +(excluding mailbox type process). In these server options dialogs +you need to enter the appropriate information to fit your situation. Keep in +mind the default ports that are entered some of the server options tabs are the +normal ones used by the majority of the Internet. + +The commands Poll tab contains one option that +changes the time interval between each check. Keep in mind this is in seconds, +not minutes. + +Next, the view tab has options for changing the icon +or icon color while &korn; is docked in &kicker;. There are two options: +Use color or Use icon. Selecting +Use color will allow you to modify the colors. Selecting +Use icon will allow you to change which icon is used for +both Normal and New mail. Keep in mind that &korn; +can only use a icon or color, not both. + +In the commands tab you can specify a command to be run once you receive +new mail in the New mail line. Also, the +Click line can contain a command to be run when you +left click on &korn;. + + + + + +Credits and License + +&korn;.
