Account Menu

This menu contains all of the choices that deal with the multiple account feature. All of these choices operate on the currently active account. This menu will let you perform the following actions:

Check Mail
This will connect to the defined POP3 or News server and retrives all the new messages since the last retrive. New messages are stored in the inbox folder unless they are filtered to other folders. If the account is a news account all new messages will be stored in the appropriate folder.

Send Queued Messages
This sends all messages waiting to be sent in the outbox folder to the defined SMTP server or News server depending on the selected account. Sent messages are then moved in the Sent folder.

Create Mail
This creates a new mail account, either POP3 or IMAP4.

Create News
This creates a new news reader account.

Newsgroups
This item will open a sub-menu with the following items:

List
This item will open a dialog window with the list of all available newsgroups from the configured news server. From this list you can subscribe to or unsubscribe from newsgroups, retrive the complete list of newsgroups from the server or just the new newsgroups that where created after the last check.

Subscribe
This item will open a dialog window that will let you directly subscribe to a newsgroup. You should type the name of the newsgroup in the Newsgroup: field.
