Solaris Common Desktop Environment: User's Guide

Logging In to Your IMAP Inbox

With the Login dialog box displayed, do the following:

  1. Type the server name in the IMAP Server field.

    The name that you type in this field becomes the default. Next time you log in, Mailer displays it in the IMAP Server field.

    To change this default, see "To Change the Default Mailbox Directory".

  2. Type your login name in the Login field.

  3. Type your password in the Password field.

  4. Determine when you want Mailer to load attachment contents when it loads messages.

    To have Mailer load both the message text and attachment contents when it retrieves a message, select Always under Retrieve attachments.

    To have Mailer load the message text but not the attachment contents when it retrieves a message, select When Open under Retrieve attachments. Mailer will retrieve the contents of the attachment when you double-click the attachment icon.

  5. Click Login.

    Your IMAP Inbox opens.
