      Search
   </title>
   <summary>
      Searches through a folder for given criteria.
   </summary>
   <description>
      <p>
      With this useful tool, you can search through a specific folder for
      given criteria that match against different header fields.
      </p>
   </description>

   <title>
      General Overview
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      You simply choose the folder you wish to search, type in the search
      criteria, and then choose the part of the message to search.  When
      you submit your data, the list of messages will come up below the
      search form.  You can choose the message you wish to view, and read
      it just like a normal message.
      </p>
      <p>
      Notice that when you are reading messages and then go into the search
      section, your currently active folder will be the default to search
      through.  For example, if you were browsing through your "Friends"
      folder and then click on "Search", "Friends" will already be selected
      for searching.
      </p>

      What to search through
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      To the left of the input field, you see a drop-down list of places
      that are possible to search through.  This includes: Body, Everywhere,
      Subject, From, Cc, To.
      </p>
      <p>
      <b>Body</b> - Searches through the body of the message.  This is the
      main part of the message where the important stuff is located.
      </p>
      <p>
      <b>Everywhere</b> - This searches everything, including the entire
      header for the message.  Unless you are sure this is what you want,
      it probabaly isn't.  It can return results that you wouldn't normally
      expect.
      </p>
      <p>
      <b>Subject</b> - Searches through the subjects for all the messages.
      </p>
      <p>
      <b>From</b> - Who the message is from.  Note that this might be more
      than is actually displayed in the folder list.  A normal "From" field
      includes the name AND email address, but SquirrelMail usually only
      displays the name.  If your criteria matches the email address, but
      it is not displayed, that message will still return as having matched.
      </p>
      <p>
      <b>To</b> - Who the message was sent to.  This can be many addresses,
      and is not always just one email address.
      </p>
      <p>
      <b>Cc</b> - Same as "To", except who the message was carbon copied to.
      </p>

      Reading an email message
   </title>
   <summary>
      The ability to read an email message is one of the most basic features
      of any email client.  However, SquirrelMail has quite a few features
      for while you are reading messages.  This explains what they all do.
   </summary>
   <description>
      <p>
      Click on the subject of a particular mail and that message is displayed.
      One thing you will notice is that email and web addresses are live
      links so you can click on them and send an email or open a page.
      Another really nifty feature is that mail threads are color coded.
      The standard for a reply is to quote the previous message with ">" before
      every line.  SquirrelMail sees this and color codes them.  A replied
      message will have a different color on the reply than the new text.
      This works two layers deep.  Another menu bar is now presented below the
      main menu choices.  This bar is in three sections.  On the left side
      you may delete or return to the summery.  In the middle direct
      navigation between messages is made possible.  On the right, various
      mailing functions are presented.

      On the right, the forward link when pressed opens the Compose page
      with the previously viewed email in the text box below a tag of
      "--Original Message--".  Fwd: is appended to the original subject
      line and placed in the correct field.  The various fields for sending
      to an address await your completion.  You may position the curser in
      the text box in order to add comments to the already exhisting text.
      You may also use the attachment feature.

      previously viewed message.  Re: is appended to the original subject
      line and placed in the subject field.  Again, the text of the original
      message is qouted in the text box.  This time the ">" symbol is placed
      in front of the original text.  You may note that some of the original
      text doesn't have the ">" symbol.  This is due to line wrapping and
      may be unavoidable.  Try setting the value of <i>Wrap incoming text</i>
      in the Options page to a larger number, this may help.  Comments can be
      made anywhere in the text box in addition to the qouted message.  You
      may also use the attachment feature.

      One of the great things about SquirrelMail is the degree to which it may 
be customized.
      Depending on the configuration, you may have several choices of themes, 
languages,
      folders, and other prefrences.  All of these may be changed without 
affecting any other
      users on the system.  There are four main parts to the Options:  
Personal, Display,
      Message Highlighting, and Folders.

   <title>
      Personal Information
   </title>
   <description>
      <b>Full Name</b><br>
      You should put your entire name here.  For example, "John Doe".  This is 
what is
      shown to people that you send the message to.  They will see that it is 
from
      "John Doe".  If you don't fill this in, they will see it is from your 
email address,
      "address@hidden".
      <br><br>

      <b>E-Mail Address</b><br>
      <i>Optional</i> - If your email address is different than what is 
automatically
      assigned, you can change it here.
      <br><br>

      <b>Reply To</b><br>
      <i>Optional</i> - This is the email address that people will reply to 
when they
      reply to your message.  If this is different than the email address you 
are sending
      from, you can enter it here.  This is useful if you want people to reply 
to your
      Yahoo account rather than your office address.
      <br><br>

      <b>Signature</b><br>
      <i>Optional</i> - Signatures are attached at the bottom of all messages 
you send
      out.  If you want a signature, you must make sure that the checkbox beside
      "use a signature" is checked, and then fill in what you want your 
signature to be
      in the box below it.

      Display Preferences
   </title>
   <description>
      <b>Theme</b><br>
      SquirrelMail offers different color themes for your viewing pleasure.  
You can
      choose between the many listed there if you so desire.
      <br><br>

      <b>Language</b><br>
      If English isn't your native tounge, you can easily change the language 
that
      most things display in.  If your desired language is in the list, you can 
choose
      it and all future SquirrelMail related messages will be in that language. 
 Note
      that this doesn't translate incoming email messages or folder names.
      <br><br>

      <b>Use Javascript address book?</b><br>
      One of our main goals in creating SquirrelMail was to have no Javascript 
in
      any of our pages.  However, some of our developers made a very good 
address
      book searching utility that uses Javascript.  Rather than remove it, we 
now
      give you the option of using the HTML address book or the Javascript one. 
 If
      you don't know what this means, you are safest to choose the HTML address 
book,
      but most likely Javascript will work for you.
      <br><br>

      <b>Number of Messages to Index</b><br>
      This is the number of messages to show at a time in a folder.  If there 
are
      more than this number in the folder, you will see a "Previous" and "Next" 
link
      above and below the listing which will take you to the previous or next
      messages.
      <br><br>

      <b>Wrap incoming text at</b><br>
      How many characters should we allow before wrapping the text.  This 
prevents
      messages from scrolling way off the screen.  86 is usually a safe thing to
      put in here, but you are free to change it to whatever you desire.
      <br><br>

      <b>Size of editor window</b><br>
      How wide do you want your "Compose" box to be?  This is the number of 
characters
      per line that you will be able to type before wrapping in the Compose 
section.
      <br><br>

      <b>Width of left folder list</b><br>
      On the left side of your broswer window, you will see the list of 
folders.  With
      this option, you can select how wide that will be.  If you have very long 
folder
      names or large fonts, it is good to set this pretty high.  Otherwise, you 
should
      set it low so you don't waste screen space.
      <br><br>

      <b>Auto refresh folder list</b><br>
      SquirrelMail has the functionality to automatically refresh the folder 
listing
      on the left side of your browser window.  This will also update the 
number of
      unseen messages that are in each folder.  This is a good way to check for 
unseen
      messages in the Inbox without having to click on it every time.
      <br><br>

      Message Highlighting
   </title>
   <description>
      The idea for this came because if you are subscribed to many mailing 
lists,
      it is very hard to distinguish which messages came from where while 
reading
      through the list of messages.  With Message Highlighting, you can have the
      background color of all messages from one mailing list different than the
      color of another list.<br><br>

      Just click on [New] to create a new one, or [Edit] to edit an existing one
      and the options will appear below.<br><br>

      <b>Identifying Name</b><br>
      This is simply the name that you see which describes what it is.  For
      example, if you are highlighting messages from your mother, you might
      set this to "From Mom".
      <br><br>

      <b>Color</b><br>
      This is the actual color that the background will be.  You can choose 
between
      a number of pre-defined colors that we have selected for you, or you can 
enter
      the HEX code for the color that you desire (i.e.  a6b492).  If you choose 
to
      enter your own color, you must also select the radio button in front so 
that it is
      checked.
      <br><br>

      <b>Match</b><br>
      Here you can choose the matching phrase.  From the drop-down box, you can
      choose which header field to match against (to, from, subject...) and in 
the
      text box, you can enter the phrase to match (address@hidden).
      <br><br>

   <title>
      Folder Preferences
   </title>
   <description>
      <b>Folder Path</b><br>
      On some system this will not be displayd.  If you don't see this option, 
just
      ignore this.  On other systems, this is quite a necessary feature.  
Usually the
      option that is in there is what should be there.  This is the folder in 
your
      home directory that holds all your email folders.  If you don't 
understand this,
      just leave it what it is.
      <br><br>

      <b>Trash Folder</b><br>
      You can choose which folder messages will be sent to when you delete 
them. If
      you don't want deleted messages to go to the trash, set this to "Don't 
use Trash".
      <br><br>

      <b>Sent Folder</b><br>
      You can choose which folder your sent messages will go to.  If you don't 
want
      these, just set it to "Don't use Sent".
      <br><br>

      <b>Unseen message notification</b><br>
      This option specifies how to display unseen messages in the folder 
listing on the
      right side of your browser window.  If you set this to No Notification, 
you will
      not be notified of unseen messages.  If you set it to INBOX, when you 
have new
      messages, the INBOX will become bold and a number will appear to the 
right of it
      to say how many new messages are in it.  If you set it to All Folders, 
this
      behavior will happen on all folders.  If you notice that loading the 
folder list
      is really slow, you can set this to INBOX or None and that should speed 
it up.
      <br><br>

      <b>Unseen message notification type</b><br>
      When new messages are in a folder, this option tells how to notify you of 
that.

      The Message Index
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      After you click on a folder, you will be taken (in the right frame) to the
      message index.  This lists messages in the selected folder.  Below the
      menu choice is a line which informs you which mails you are viewing
      numerically and how many total you have.
      </p><p>
      For example: Viewing messages <B>20</B> to <B>30</B> (45 total).
      </p><p>
      Notice that the total message count might be different from the unread
      mail count which is to the right of the main mail folder.
      </p><p>
      A bar containing three buttons is next.  On the left side is a drop down
      list box.  This box lists your currently subscribed folders.  Any selected
      message will be moved to the selected folder when the move button is 
pushed.
      Multiple messages may be moved at once.  On the right side of this bar is
      a button used to delete selected messages.  Just select the junk mail and
      press the button.
      </p><p>
          A bar three fields (From, Date, and Subject) is next.  These Headings
          seperate the message table into logical parts.  From tells you who 
sent
          you the message.  Or at least what email address it came from.  Date
          shows the day which the email was sent.  Subject displays what the 
sender
          entered as the subject.  <b>Note:</b> Between the Date and Subject
          columns is a small column that is unlabeled.  There could be a "+", 
"!"
          or an "A" in there.  If you see the "+", that means that the message 
has
          attachments, if you see the "A", that means that you have answered the
          message, and if you see the "!", then the message was marked as 
urgent!
      </p><p>
      What remains is the actual message table.  You will notice that unread
      messages are <B>bold</B> while viewed messages are in normal text.
      Four fields form this table.  On the far left is a select box.  When
      selected the message on the same line is subject to the actions previously
      discussed, (moving and deletion).  Under the From header is listed whom
      the message is from.  Surprising, we know. But hey, you don't have to read
      this.  Next is listed the date, and finally the subject.

<section>
   <title>
      Can I use multiple names from the address book?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      Yes.  The address book search will display all matches for the
      search criteria entered in the search box.  If 10 names are displayed
      any combination may be selected for either the <B>To:</B> or <B>CC:</B>
      fields.  All selected addresses will be inserted into the proper
      filed when the Use Address button is pressed.

<section>
   <title>
      Can I add names directly to the address book from a email?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      No.  At this time you cannot add names directly from a received email
      to the address book.  You can, however, right click on the address and
      save it to the clipboard and paste this into the address book.  Try
      not to be disappointed.  SquirrelMail is under continual development
      and this might be included in the future in one form or another.

      What is webmail?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      In SquirrelMail's case it gives you access through the IMAP protocol
      to your email account.  These means you don't have to figure out how
      to setup someone else's stuff just to check your mail.

      Where can I use this webmail?

      <p>
      Any where there is a browser available.
      Wireless access (WAP/WML) is not on the drawing board at this time though.

      Why use webmail instead of a regular email client?
   </title>
   <description>

      It is doubtful that webmail will ever be a complete substitute for
      a reguler email client.  But hey, who knows?  Anyway, If you ever
      were at a friends house, on a trip, at home or work and away from
      your computer and wanted to check your mail you already know why.
      Because it is a huge hassle to set your mail up on their computer
      and then delete it again.  SquirrelMail is designed to be a suppliment
      to your normal email client.

      How does this stuff work?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      SquirrelMail uses the IMAP protocol, info on it can be found
      <A HREF="http://imap.org"/>here</A>.  The program also uses
      its own IMAP functions, not those built in to PHP4.  This won't
      matter to anybody except those responsible for installing it,
      but trust us when we say they appreciate it.

      Addresses
   </title>
   <summary>
      Address books can save a lot of time and typing.  You can put the
      addresses of people you write most often in them, and reuse them
      over and over.
   </summary>
   <description>
      <p>
      Address books are a great time saving feature.  Frequently used
      addresses may be stored here. LDAP servers (Often used in companies
      and universities to make organization-wide addresses easily available)
      are supported as well.
      </p>
      <p>
      If your Browser supports Javascript then you might want to enable the
      java based address book under the Options menu item.  It is a really
      nifty little popup thing.  Pure HTML address lists are supported so
      even browsers without Javascript support can use SquirrelMail without
      any loss of function.

      Email Address
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      This must be the persons' fully qualified email address.  Guessing here
      just won't cut it.  There are three parts to an email address.  First is
      the recipients identifier, such as "johnq" Next is the domain name
      section, which could take the form "tayloru".  Last comes the top level
      domain, which could be one of a ton of things like au, cc, us, com, org,
      net or might look like edu.  So if we put all those together it must be
      in the form of address@hidden  If this is not correct you are likely
      to get your mail back in the form of a bounced message.

      This is another field where you can put something to remind you about

      LDAP
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      LDAP is a protocol for central unified storage and remote access of
      information.  For example; a university might use LDAP as the single
      place where all students, staff, and faculty email addresses are
      stored and made available.  If configured to use the universities
      LDAP server, SquirrelMail would then be able to list all campus email
      address (along with the other address book fields if available).
      Squirrelmail's LDAP use is truelly powerful in that it <I>combines</I>
      your local address book and the LDAP address server information to
      present all of the information as if it was a single address book.
      </p><p>
      The LDAP setting may be configured to use any LDAP server, or disabled
      as a feature altogether.  You will need to talk to you system
      administrator about this feature if you have specific questions.
      </p><p>
      LDAP setting's affect the entire SquirrelMail system; as a result they
      must be set up or altered by someone with administrative authority.

      You can store messages in different folders.  This is

      Subscribed Folders and the Left Frame
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      Currently subscribed folders are listed in the colored
      area to the left.  This frame may be set to automaticly
      refresh in the Options page.  At the top of the left
      frame is large and bolded heading.  If changes have been
      made to the subscribed folders using the folders menu
      item, this list can be refreshed with the link below the
      title.  Oddly enough this link is titled "refresh folder
      list".
      </p><p>
      The first folder listed contains received mail.  To the
      right of the first folder is a number in parenthesis
      "( )" reflecting the count of <I>unread</I> emails.
      This number is likely to vary from the total number
      of emails displayed in the right frame.  Under the main
      folder are likely to be other folders or subfolders.
      Colors for these folders will change with theme choices
      made in the options page.

      You may delete any folder displayed in the drop down list box to
      the left of the Delete button.  Notice that this list may <B>not</B>

      your sent or your trash folder cannot be deleted, and of course,
      you cannot delete INBOX.

      Create

   <description>
      <p>
      Folders may be created by simply typing the desired name into the
      text box and pressing the Create button.  If you wish that this folder
      be a subfolder of another one, you can choose that in the drop-down
      box with the list of folders.
      </p>
      <p>
      On some mail servers, there are two types of folders.
      One that contains messages, and one that
      contains folders.  You may see an option called "Let this folder contain
      subfolders."  If you do and you check that, the folder you create will
      only be able to contain folders and not any messages.  Otherwise, you
      will only be able to store messages in it and not folders.

      <i>Unsubscribe</i>: The opposite of subscribing.  This unregisters a
                        folder with the mail server.<br>
      <br><p>
      You may choose as many folders as you wish from either the subscribe
      or the unsubscribe box, then click the button under the box to make
      the action take effect.  You will notice that the folders move to the
      other box.  You can then re-subscribe to them, or unsubscribe again

      them with a coma.  One may also press the "Addresses" button to fill
      in the field.  Don't worry if the entire address is not displayed.
      The field is a fixed length but everything you put in it will be used,

      <B>C</B>opy.  If you wish to send someone else a copy of the message
      here is where you would do that.  Think of this in the same way a memo
      is laid out.  You can have as many people as you like in the <B>To:</B>,
      <B>CC:</B>, and <B>BCC:</B> fields.  Only the people to whom the message
      has direct impact would be in the <B>To:</B> field while recipients to
      whom this is possibly only informative would be in the <B>CC:</B> and
      <B>BCC:</B> fields.

      Located at the bottom of the Compose page, this feature allows you to
      include a file with your email.  The file must be located on your
      <I>local</I> machine or network to be attached.  A browse button is
      present so you may search through your directory structure and click
      on the file to include.  Alternatively you may type directly into the
      attach field if you know the full path and exact file name.  Simply
      press the Add button to list the selected file as an attachment and it
      will appear below.
      </p>
      <p>
      Once at least one file is presented for attachment another button is
      revealed.  Deletion of one or more attached files is accomplished by
      selecting the offending file or files and pressing the delete selected
      attachments button.

      It's a web interface to email that's written in <A 
HREF="http://www.php.net";>PHP4</A>.
      It was designed to allow email access through your server from
      anywhere in the world via the Web.  More information about exactly

      The Basics

      <p>
      If you just have a quick question, you might want to look at the FAQ.
      </p>
      <p>
      Squirrelmail is layed out in two main sections called frames.  The
      left frame lists the currently subscribed folders.  More information
      about the left frame may be found under the "Folders" section of this
      help documentation.
      </p>
      <p>
      On the right is where most of the action will take place.  At the
      top of the page is a menu bar.  Sign out will safely log you out of
      the program when you are finished.  The Current Folder displays which
      of the folders listed in the left frame you are currently in.
      Right after you log in, by default your INBOX will be shown.
      </p>
      <p>
      Under the top bar is a row of menu choices:
         <ul>
            <li><b>Compose</b> - Make and send an email which may include 
attachments.
            <li><b>Addresses</b> - Holds a list of addresses that are contained 
in your personal address book.
            <li><b>Folders</b> - All folder manipulation takes place under 
this.  You can delete, create, rename, subscribe, and unsubscribe folders.
            <li><b>Options</b> - Change settings of how SquirrelMail responds 
and looks.
            <li><b>Search</b> - With this tool, you can search through a 
mailbox for given criteria.
            <li><b>Help</b> - You are already here!
         </ul>
