+<H2><A NAME="ss6.6">6.6 Configuration menu</A>
+</H2>
+<P>In the Configuration menu, clearly, you can set up Sylpheed 
+the way you want it to work and react.
+<P>
+<UL>
+<LI><I>Common preferences:</I> in this option you will be 
+presented a dialog in which you can select a number 
+of tabs. Each tab represents a specific set of settings 
+in Sylpheed. In the next chapter, these dialog options 
+are explained in more detail.</LI>
+<LI><I>Filter setting:</I> this option shows you a dialog in which you 
+can set up the filtering rules that you want Sylpheed 
+to process on receiving new e-mails. You first specify 
+on which part(s) of the e-mail Sylpheed has to check, 
+and then you tell Sylpheed what to do. You can move the 
+message to a different directory (including trash to get 
+rid of spam mail). Selecting the destination folder is 
+possible through a browser window that comes up when you 
+press "Select..."
+<P>You can choose not to receive the e-mail. Note that 
+this will leave the message on the mailserver of your 
+provider, the message will not be removed!
+<P>When you press the "Register" button, the filter 
+rule is added to the list of rules. Do you select 
+"Substitute", then the selected rule is replaced by the 
+information of the setting entered. "Delete" in the end 
+will delete the selected filtering rule.
+<P>Please note that you can set up two selections for a rule, 
+which can be "OR'd" or "AND'd". OR means that one of the 
+two selections will have to match for the rule to be 
+executed. AND means that both selections have to match 
+before an action is performed.
+<P>To the right of the selection rules you see buttons 
+called UP and DOWN. You can move rules up and down in 
+the list. This will often trigger different behaviour 
+in the selections, so consider the order in which 
+you set the rules.
+</LI>
+<LI><I>Template:</I> let your create a new message template.
+When composing a new message you can then used one
+of the defined templates and insert it (or use it to
+completely replace the content of your mail).
+The templates can contain some special characters
+that are replaced when the template is used in order
+to create a dynamic text. Use the symbols button on
+the templates definition window to see the list of
+the available symbols.</LI>
+<LI><I>Actions:</I> let your create new commands to be added to the
+'Tools/Actions' menu. An action is a command that processes
+the select part of a message, the message body or the complete
+message file. It can be a background process, used as a filter
+(reads, modifies and replaces a message),...</LI>
+<LI><I>Preferences for current account:</I> here you can set the 
+specifics for the account you are currently using.

+account has a recognizable name), you set up your name 
+and e-mail address etc. You set up the type of server

+and where the downloaded messages have to go (default 
+folder is the inbox). In the RECEIVE tab you select or 
+unselect options, in SEND you can set up how to send 
+your messages. In COMPOSE you can point to a specific 
+signature file, and in ADVANCED you can set up alternate 
+ports for the server, if these exist. (Do not mess 
+with these unless you are sure you have to!!)</LI>
+<LI><I>Edit accounts:</I> here you can select one of the accounts 
+you created, from a list, and edit the information about 
+them. Note that you cannot edit an account for which 
+you are writing a message at the same time. This to 
+ensure data integrity.</LI>
+<LI><I>Change current account:</I> here you can select what 
+account you want to use, to write a message.
+If you have enabled the status bar (in the view menu),
+the name of the current account is shown in the bottom
+right corner of the Sylpheed window (in the status bar)
+and can be changed by a click on it (then a menu appears
+and lists all your accounts).</LI>
+</UL>
+<P>

+<H2><A NAME="ss6.8">6.8 Context menu</A>
+</H2>
+<P>You can pull up context menus (through clicking button2) for 
+the folder tree and the summary pane. (windows users: button2

+through the context menu. You can also set the folder
+properties (define the selected folder as an inbox, outbox,
+trash, ...).
+<P>In the message summary you can do a host of things from the 
+context menu, like viewing message headers, opening a message 
+in a separate window (also possible by double clicking on a 
+message) etc...
