# Mail Server Preferences

Cette page vous permet de définir comment vous recevez les courriers électroniques POP3, comment vous les envoyez, etc.

# Remote Mailbox Servers

These are IMAP and POP3 servers that you receive email from. The three buttons let you create, modify, and remove records. POP3 mailboxes will not show up in the mailbox list. You can specify multiple servers, when adding a server you will be asked to give:

Le nom pour identifier la boîte aux lettres.

Le serveur sur lequel vous disposez d'une boîte aux lettres POP.

Le port utilisé pour se connecter au serveur. Le numéro du port est habituellement 110 mais vous pouvez le modifier si, par exemple, vous utilisez un tunnel pour votre connexion.

Le nom d'utilisateur sur le serveur de boîtes aux lettres.

Le mot de passe correspondant.

You can select the “delete from server” button to remove the downloaded messages from the server.

You can choose to have messages filtered through procmail .

The procmail command.

Si vous voulez vérifier ou non la présence de nouveaux messages.

# Local Mail Directory

This is the directory that Balsa will scan looking for mail folders.

# Outgoing Mail Servers

Most users will need only one outgoing mail server, but you may need to use more than one. Balsa allows you to set up as many as you need. The server used for a particular message is controlled by the identity you choose for the message.

To view or change the details of a server, select it and click Modify . To create a new server, click Add . A dialog will open, showing the properties of the selected server. Specify the domain name and optionally the port for of the SMTP server you use for submitting mail. Please note that the default port number is 587. The syntax is hostname[:port]. Port can be a decimal number or the name of the service as specified in /etc/services . Typically you can just set this to “localhost:smtp”. Balsa can also break up a large message into fragments, which can be reassembled by Balsa or any RFC 2046-compliant mailer. This dialog allows you to set this option, and the size above which a message should be split.

You will be asked to give:

Un nom pour décrire et identifier le serveur.

Le nom de domaine et le port.

Le nom d'utilisateur sur le serveur SMTP. Si le serveur SMTP distant nécessite une authentification, saisissez votre nom d'utilisateur ici. Notez que le format exact dépend du MTA utilisé. Par exemple, certains systèmes attendent un nom d'utilisateur, d'autres une adresse électronique.

La phrase de passe correspondante. Si le serveur SMTP nécessite une authentification, saisissez votre phrase de passe ici. Certains systèmes utilisent « mot de passe » pour « phrase de passe ». Les limites de la longueur de la phrase de passe dépendent du serveur SMTP.

When you want Balsa to use TLS.

La phrase de passe du certificat TLS.

## Check Mail Automatically

If selected, Balsa will connect to your POP3 servers at the given interval and check for mail.

## Check IMAP mailboxes

If selected, Balsa will include your IMAP mailboxes when checking for mail. You can also specify that INBOX is the only mailbox to be checked.

La durée de la vérification dans les boîtes aux lettres IMAP peut se révèler longue ; les options suivantes vous donnent un meilleur contrôle sur le temps que la vérification prend.

## Display message if new mail has arrived

If selected, Balsa will alert you when mail has arrived.

## Do background check quietly

If selected, Balsa will give you no indication that a background mail check is in progress.

## Wrap Incoming Text

If selected, Balsa will wrap text of incoming messages at the specified line length.

## Reflow messages of type `text/plain;format=flowed'

The format parameter distinguishes two ways of representing paragraphs in messages of type “text/plain” (that is, simple text). The value “flowed” indicates that paragraphs have been broken into lines ended with “soft” line breaks: a space is left at the end of the line. A “hard” line break (one that is not preceded by a space) indicates the end of a paragraph.

Balsa can reflow the paragraphs, quoted or otherwise, in a message of this type. Reflowing eliminates the line fragments that are left when text is first wrapped at one length and then rewrapped to a shorter length, which are often misquoted.

The only other value of format is “fixed”, which is the value assumed by default when format is not specified, as with older mailers. In this case, all line breaks must be respected. If you do not select the Reflow… option, Balsa will treat all messages of type “text/plain” as if they were “format=fixed”. Long lines will still be wrapped, if the Wrap Incoming Messages option is selected, but this will usually leave unquoted line fragments.

## Message Disposition Notification request

You will sometimes receive a message whose sender has asked for notification that you have received or seen the message. You can specify how Balsa responds to these requests.

# Sortants

## Wrap Outgoing Text

Have Balsa wrap all outgoing mail at the specified column.

## Reply prefix

The string that Balsa should use as a prefix when quoting a message. Note: When you send a message with format=flowed, Balsa is required to use the one-character string “>”.

## Automatically quote original when replying

Have Balsa include the text of a message in the reply. The text will be prefixed as shown above.

You can instead include the original message using an option on the Edit menu, or by dragging the message from the message index into the text area of the reply. If you prefer to include text this way, do not select the Automatically quote… option.

## Don't include HTML parts as text when replying or forwarding mail

Tell Balsa to be sensible.

## Forward a mail as attachment instead of quoting it

If this option is selected, messages that are “Automatically quoted” will actually be attached unmodified, instead of included in the text of the reply, prefixed by the reply string.

Vous pouvez aussi attacher n'importe quel message dans un nouveau en le faisant glisser de l'index des messages dans la zone des pièces jointes du nouveau message (ou, en fait, n'importe quelles parties du message exceptées la zone de texte ou les adresses).

## Send button always queues outgoing mail in outbox

This option gives you control over when Balsa connects to a server to send messages.

## Copy outgoing messages to sentbox

Have Balsa save a copy of each message you send in the mailbox marked as the “Sentbox”.
