Window & Message List

Options -- Window

Main Window

Start program automatically
If this option is enabled your computer will start MailBell when you log on. This option is similar to putting MailBell into the Startup group in the Start menu (actually, instead of the startup menu, the Windows registry is used for this feature).

Start program minimized
If enabled, this option will hide the program in the taskbar when it is started.

The [X] button in the main window minimizes the program
If this setting is enabled the [X] button in the title bar will minimize the MailBell window to the desktop instead of closing the program.

Hide toolbar
This option hides the toolbar with the click buttons to save window space.

Tray icon clicks ...
When the program is minimized it hides itself in a small symbol in the system tray. This option configures what will happen if you double click or single click that symbol.

... write new mail
Start the mail program to write a new email.

... display the last popup message
Redisplay the contents of the last popup window (in case you were away from your desk and want to see if there was new mail without actually connecting to the account).

... check accounts for new mail
Connect to all accounts that have the tray-icon mail check option set.

... display available mail
Connect to all accounts that have the tray-icon mail check option set and display all available mail (max. 10). This will only differ from the 'check accounts for new mail' function above if you have 'List Mail Details' enabled but 'List All Available Mail' disabled in Alert-Popup Options&per; otherwise both functions will show the same window.

Options -- Message List

Confirm manual deletion
This option controls if a confirmation message box is shown when you use the Apply Deletion function of the message list window or when marked messages are automatically deleted when switching accounts.

Save manually deleted mail in trashcan
If this option is enabled, a copy of (manually) every deleted mail is saved in the trashcan.

Perform delete marked when closing window or switching accounts
If mail is marked for deletion it can automatically be deleted when switching accounts or closing the main window.

Hide toolbar
This option hides the toolbar with the click buttons to save window space.

Supress the dialog when adding friends or spam-senders
If you do not need want to see the dialog when adding friend or spam-senders you can disable it with this option.
