Modifying the Default Location

Using Mail Tool's Properties window, you can permanently change the default location for your saved mail. For instance, you could change the name of the Folders directory, or you could save your mail to a location directly relative to your home directory.

To change the default location for your saved mail, follow these steps:

1. From the Mail Tool base window's control area, choose Edit Properties.

   The Mail Tool Properties window appears.

2. Position the pointer on the Category menu button and choose Mail Filing.

   The Mail Filing properties appear in the Properties window.

3. Double-click SELECT on the word Folders on the text field.

   Folders is highlighted, for example.

4. Choose the default location for your saved mail:

   1. To change the name of the Folders directory type in a new name, such as Mail.

   2. To save mail directly under your home directory, type:

      $HOME

      This will expand to the actual path name of your home directory.

5. Click SELECT on the Apply button.

   A pop-up message asks if $HOME should be expanded to the path name of your home directory.

6. Click SELECT on the Expand String button.

   The Properties window is dismissed.
