# Startup Preferences

# Open Inbox upon Startup

If set, Balsa will open your system inbox upon startup.

# Check Mail at Startup

If set, Balsa will automatically attempt to download mail from the POP3 mail server upon startup, and will check for new mail on an IMAP server.

# Remember Open Mailboxes Between Sessions

When marked, Balsa will remember and reopen mailboxes that were open when Balsa was last quit.

# Folder Scanning

Scanning a folder tree can be time-consuming, because of the need to explore an entire tree of subfolders. You can defer scanning the tree by setting the scan depth to 1. Balsa will then descend into the tree only far enough to discover whether any folders that you can see have subfolders. The first time you expand any subtree, Balsa will explore more of the tree.

Si vous préférez avoir toute l'arborescence disponible dès le démarrage, choisissez une profondeur du même ordre que celle de votre arborescence. Des valeurs intermédiaires peuvent aussi être utilisées.

You may set the depth for initial scanning separately for local and IMAP trees.
