- Folders to open on startup
Mahogany will open these folders on program startup.
- Folder opened in main frame
This specifies the folder to open in the main frame on program startup. It will
be automatically remembered each time you exit Mahogany.
- Poll for new mail delay
Mahogany will check all incoming mailboxes for new mail. Specify the time between
checks in seconds here. Notice that each check causes a short delay as Mahogany
polls the folders, set it to a longer value to reduce the annoying screen updates,
set it to a shorter value if you care about receiving your new mail with little
delay.
- Ping/check folder interval in seconds
Mahogany checks periodically whether the opened folders are still ``alive''
(a folder may become dead if, for example, the remote server goes down or the
network link fails).
- Automatically select first message in viewer
If enabled, Mahogany will automatically select and display the first message
in the message viewer whenever you open a folder. This can be inconvenient if
you want to just look at headers without downloading messages over a slow link.
- Threshold for displaying progress dialog
Mahogany will display progress dialogs when parsing mail folders or querying
servers. If the number of messages is less than this threshold value, the progress
dialog will be suppressed - play with this setting and set it to the value which
doesn't show the progress dialogs which disappear too quickly, but still shows
them if the operation lasts a long time.
