|
|
|
|
<p>The first time you start Geary, you will be prompted to add an email account. On this screen,
|
|
select if your account is Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com, or other. For other account types, you will
|
|
need to enter your IMAP and SMTP login settings manually.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Additional accounts can be added from the Accounts dialog. The <gui>Accounts</gui> option is
|
|
available in either Geary's application menu or the gear menu in the upper-right of the
|
|
toolbar. (The location depends on the install desktop shell. For GNOME Shell and Unity, the
|
|
application menu is available near the top-left corner of the screen.)
|
|
To add an account, click the + button.</p>

<title>Editing existing accounts</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>From the Accounts dialog, select an account and click the pencil icon to change various settings.
|
|
Please note that Geary cannot change server settings on an existing account. If you need to
|
|
change your IMAP or SMTP server, you will need to delete the account and re-add it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To change the order that accounts are displayed in the folder list, drag the accounts in the
|
|
Accounts dialog to the desired order.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are some advanced options available when editing accounts:</p>
|
|
<list>
|
|
<item><p>The <gui>Save sent mail</gui> checkbox controls whether Geary will push successfully sent
|
|
messages up to the account's <gui>Sent Mail</gui> folder. For Gmail accounts, this happens
|
|
automatically. Yahoo and some other accounts can be configured to do this automatically as well.
|
|
For other accounts, if you disable this setting, you may be unable to view messages you've
|
|
sent.</p></item>
|
|
|
|
<item><p>The <gui>Sign emails</gui> checkbox indicates whether a signature will be automatically
|
|
inserted when a composer is opened. You may enter the signature into the box immediately
|
|
below. You may use HTML tags to style the text. Switch to a preview of the signature using the
|
|
buttons to the right.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you leave the signature in the Accounts dialog blank, Geary will use the
|
|
<file>.signature</file> file in your home directory, if it exists. This file may contain either
|
|
plain text or HTML markup. In the latter case, the markup will be inserted directly into the
|
|
composer, without any escaping.</p></item>
|
|
|
|
<item><p>The <gui>Download mail</gui> drop-down allows you to configure how much mail Geary will keep
|
|
locally. Geary can only use locally available mail when searching and forming
|
|
conversations.</p></item>

<p>To delete an account, open the Accounts dialog, select the account, and press the - button.
|
|
Geary will delete all information associated with the account.</p>
