    How Sylpheed checks for new mail?

    +
    +

    New mail can be retrieved either manually or automatically.

    +

    To check for new mail the manual way, you can:

    +
    +
      +
    1. +

      Either press the Get button on the toolbar to incorporate new mail for the current account only, or use the Get all button to incorporate new mail for all configured accounts. +

      +
      2. +
    2. +

      Or choose File->Mailbox->Check for new messages, or Check for new messages in all mailboxes. +

      +
      3. +
    3. +

      Or select Message->Receive->Get from current account, or Get from all accounts. +

      +
      4. +
    +
    +
    +

    Tip

    +

    If you have a POP3 account and don't want to retrieve all the new messages stored on remote server to your computer, you + can manage your account remotely (e.g. open or delete individual messages) by choosing Message->Receive->Remote mailbox...

    +
    +

    If you prefer autochecking for new mail instead, first of all, make sure that you have checked Configuration->Common preferences...->Receive+Autocheck new mail every 10 minute(s). Optionally, you can adjust the interval value (in minutes) as well. +

    +

    Also check your settings under Configuration->Edit accounts... You will find this + at the top: Check the boxes on the 'G' column to enable message retrieval by 'Get all'. The setting applies on both manual and automatic + mail checks.

    Under UNIX, you can directly edit the appropriate hidden setting stored in the $HOME/.sylpheed-2.0/sylpheedrc configuration file by changing the setting value to 0, or 1, respectively (default is on, i.e. 1): + 

    enable_rules_hint=0
    +

    Tip

    +

    There are various other hidden settings that can be adjusted in your sylpheedrc configuration file, see the README file for details. +

    +
    +

    The above does not work under Windows, however, so you have to edit the C:\Program Files\Sylpheed\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0\gtkrc file and set the following setting to 1, or 0, respectively (default is off under Windows, i.e. 0): + 

    GtkTreeView::allow-rules = 1
    +

    Note

    +

    Since the hidden setting described above is not stored within your user profile under Windows, it may be overwritten when + installing a new version of Sylpheed. To avoid this at least partially, keep a backup copy of the gtkrc file somewhere safe. +
