<title>Preferences</title>
<p>Geary allows you to customise how it works via its <gui
style="group">Preferences</gui> window. To open the window, select
<gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui> from the application menu on
the main window's toolbar. You can change the following options:</p>
<terms>
<item>
<title><gui>Automatically select next message</gui></title>
<p>When this option is enabled, Geary automatically selects the
latest message in a folder when you enter the folder. In
addition, after archiving a message, Geary automatically selects
an adjacent message.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui>Display conversation preview</gui></title>
<p>Enables message previews in the conversation list. Previews
show the first few lines of each message.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui>Use three pane view</gui></title>
<p>Show the folder list, the conversation list, and the messages
side-by-side-by-side in three panes. If not selected, the
folder list and conversation list will be stacked vertically in
a single pane.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui>Use single key email shortcuts</gui></title>
<p>Enable keyboard shortcuts for email actions that do not
require pressing <key>Ctrl</key>. These match the shortcuts used
by GMail. See <link xref="shortcuts"/> for details.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui>Watch for new mail when closed</gui></title>
<p>Geary will watch your accounts for new mail even when the
main window is not open. To do this, it will silently start
when you log in to your computer, and it will continue to run
after you close all windows.</p>
