Title: How do I get my email software to work with my EDM folders?
Question:
Using the Email Delivery Manager I've set up filters to sort certain
messages into folders. Now what? Is there some easy way to deal with these
sorted messages? How do I know if I have new mail in them?
Answer:
How you deal with your new folders will depend in large part on what email
program you are using.
If you are using Outlook Express, or some other graphically-oriented email
reader, checking your folders is as easy as simply clicking on them.
With Pine, the task of checking for new messages in multiple folders
becomes a bit more tricky. The easiest way to deal with these is to
enable and use Pine's "incoming folder" functionality. This feature lets
you define folders to be considered "incoming," as in, those that receive
new mail regularly.
Once a number of incoming folders are defined, you can browse through them
easily using the {TAB} key.
To learn to set up incoming folders in Pine, see the pine.incoming-folders
