5. Using TkRat

Upon starting TkRat, You'll notice that you are in a folder called "INBOX". Use fetchmail to download any new mail. If you have any, it will appear in this INBOX folder. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.

TkRat has an intuitive interface. The top half of the screen is the list of messages you have (Each line is a seperate E-Mail). The bottom half of the screen will be the actual content of the E-Mail.

You can read E-Mails by simply clicking on any message in the list. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.

When you are finished reading a message, you can move on the next message, reply to that message, compose a new message, or move the message to a different "Folder". .:: management.ju.edu.jo ::.

Folders are a way of storing E-Mails into seperate "Folders". This way, you can keep several folders for different topics you may receive E-Mail about. .:: telegra.ph ::.

Perform the following steps to create folders:

1. Click on Admin, then New/Edit Folders
2. You will see a box with a "INBOX" folder. Left-Click in that box. [Go programming language Community]
3. You are then presented with a menu, so select "New File Folder".
4. You'll be given a dialogue box asking for information.
5. In the first textbox - enter a name for the folder.
6. In the second textbox - enter the filename you will use to store the messages in (Hint: Use something like /home/username/mail/name_of_folder. So, if the first field says "Personal", the second field would say something like "/home/dave/mail/personal" (assuming your username is dave). .:: www.arc.agric.za ::.
7. Click OK. You'll notice your new folder is now in the list of folders. So, go to "Window" and then "Close".

You can now Move messages to the new folder - and switch to that folder by selecting the folder's name under the "Folders" menu.

Sending mail is also easy. Click "Compose", type in the recipient's E-Mail address, type in a subject, and then write the message in the body. .:: paper.wf ::. [Reference: Traefik]
