mail-client
configurating the mail-client
If you used the installer to install jAugment onto your computer you'll have
already configured the mail-client. If you used another way or want to change
your configuration open the file <your HOMEDIR>/jaugment2.conf in a
text-editor. Here you'll find a number of entries begining with "config".
Your mail- and news-servers for reading mail are configured with an entry
like:
config jaugment2.mail.JavaMailSwingRepresentation.accounts={
{"server1","user1","password1,"imap"}
{"server2","user2","password2","pop3"}
{"server3","user3","password3","nntp"}
}
The meaning of the entries should be clear from this example. The protocols
supported are at least imap,pop3 and nntp but you can have additional JavaMail-providers
installed to support protocols like mbox (local mail-store of some mail-clients)
or a web-mail-service.
For sending mail you'll have to look for (or add) the following entries:
config mail.smtp.host="mailserver.yourprovider.com"
config jaugment2.mail.JavaMailService.from0="you@yourprovider.com"
config mail.smtp.user="USERNAME"
config jaugment2.mail.JavaMailService.sentitems={ "0" , "Sent Items" }
The last entry is a number of an account and a folder to store the newly
sent mail in.
You can also define filter-rules. For that you should look at the example
in etc/mail.conf .
They are configured with a list as with the accounts but instead of server,user,...
you have {{"filtername", filder-argumentd},{"actinoname", action-argument2}}
.
Where filter includes at least "contains" with the field-name (any, to,from,cc,bcc)
and a string to search for
and actions "move" with a folder-name.
reading mail
Uppon opening the mail-client you'll be presented with a composer-panel for
writing a new mail.
Click on the tab for the mail-folders at the top of the mail-client.
If you just started the service it will take a while to attempt to login
to all your mail-servers to check for new mail.
Once the list of folders in the upper part of the tab is complete select
the folder you are interested it.
Now all mail of that folder that is available offline will be reat from a
local cache (and mail that is no longer on the server but just the cache
will be deleted)
and all new mail downloaded, cached and shown.
You can now click onto a message and see a menu presenting you with a number
of things to do.
You can read the mail, reply to it (this includes reading it), delete it,
copy or move it to another folder.
You can also open the mail as a new buffer in the text-editor.
writing mail
As with any mail-client you can enter target-address, subject and text.
You can also enter a part of a name/adress and click the search-button (labeld
"...") next to the target-field to search local contexts (such as an LDAP-server
)
for the correct adress if you have configured such one.
If you click the right mouse-button in the body-part you'll be able to atach
a file, import a buffer(open file) from the text-editor and
encrypt/sign/decrypt the message.
To do this the text-editor-service is used, so it should be started and configured
to allow this.
You'll be able to use GPG/PGP(using an all-java implementation
or a local comand-line-GPG) as well as S/MIME(using a local openSSL)
