Balsa has many more options than the initial druid reveals. To access the configuration window, select Settingspreferences. You will see a notebook. The tabs and options are explained below</.
This page lets you specify how you present yourself to the rest of the world.
This doesn't have to be your name, I guess. But it's the word prefixing your email address in mail you send.
As you wish it to appear in your "From" header.
The address that you wish people to reply to your email with (if you have a home and a work address, for instance).
The file to append to all your messages. You also get to control when the signature is appended.
This page lets you specify how you get remove POP3 mail, send mail, etc.
These are POP3 servers that you recieve email from. The three buttons let you create, modify, and remove records. POP3 mailboxes will not show up in the mailbox list.
This is the directory that Balsa will scan looking for mail folders.
If your computer is not equipped with sendmail or you do not wish to use it, select this radio button and enter a hostname to contact via SMTP.
Balsa will attempt to use sendmail to send mail. Unfortunately, you cannot specify the command to execute right now.
If selected, Balsa will connect to your POP3 servers at the given interval and check for mail.
Note: Using "0" as an interval is a really bad idea.
This page controls how Balsa appears to you.
