| 20 | <P>When starting Sylpheed for the first time, you will be | ||
| 21 | guided through the first basic steps of the setup. | ||
| 22 | First a pop-up window will show up and you will be asked | ||
| 23 | to define the directory Sylpheed will use to store your | ||
| 24 | messages and folders. This directory will be created under | ||
| 25 | your home directory (or under C:\windows\Application Data\Sylpheed | ||
| 26 | on windows). The default name for this directory is "Mail". | ||
| 27 | <P> | ||
| 28 | <P> | ||
| 29 | <P> | ||
| 30 | <P>Then the account preferences window shows up. Based on | ||
| 31 | your configuration (local UNIX mailbox or POP account), | ||
| 32 | read one of the following sections for the next steps | ||
| 33 | of the configuration. | ||

| 41 | <LI>In the | ||
| 42 | <A HREF="sylpheed-8.html#Basic">Basic</A> | ||
| 43 | tab, name the account. You can select this account to be the default account ("Usually used").</LI> | ||
| 44 | <LI>Enter your name and e-mail address.</LI> | ||
| 45 | <LI>To select your local unix mailbox, in the Protocol box you select "None (local)".</LI> | ||
| 46 | <LI>When you select this option, the "Server for receiving" is greyed out, since this is not relevant. You can enter the server to send (SMTP) in this tab also.</LI> | ||
| 47 | </UL> | ||

| 49 | Settings in the remaining tabs can usually be left at default values. | ||

| 54 | <A HREF="sylpheed-8.html#Receive">Receive</A> | ||
| 55 | tab is not used in this setup, since you are not polling a server, your mail is delivered to you. | ||
