3. Sylpheed FAQ - Interface

+ +

3.1 Q01 How do I make Sylpheed display my language? +

+ +

A. You have to set some environment variables such as +LANG,LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES to your local language. +Usually LANG (or LC_ALL) is sufficient. +

3.2 Q02 I don't like the default font. Can I change that? +

+ +

A. Yes. In Configuration>common preferences under the +"Display" tab. +

3.3 Q03 There are too many columns in the message list!! +

+ +

A. In Configuration>common preferences under the +"Display" tab you can press the button "Set display +item of summary". That pops up a screen with all the +options you can show or leave out of the message +list. +

3.4 Q04 Can I use a different editor to write my mails? +

+ +

A. You can. In Configuration>common preferences under +the "Other" tab you can define your editor of choice. +Remember, if you want to use a command line editor +like vi or emacs, to write the name of the shell +(term, term, rxvt) with the -e parameter in front of +the editor. E.g.: rxvt -e vi %s +

3.5 Q05 How to change the font size in the Sylpheed interface? +

+ +

A. You can set the GTK+ font by ~/.gtkrc, or +~/.gtkrc.mine, +(which is included by ~/.gtkrc). +For example: +style "default" +{ +font = +"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 +" +} +widget_class "*" style "default" +

3.6 Q06 Sylpheed saves my outgoing mail (in Outbox). Can I make it stop doing that? +

+ +

A. In Configuration>common preferences there's a +checkbox "Save sent message to outbox". Uncheck it, +and it's solved. +

3.7 Q07 How can I change the key-bindings (hot-keys) in Sylpheed? +

+ +

A. That is very simple. Suppose you want to assign a +shortcut key to a function, e.g. sending all mail +out should start when you press Ctrl-Y. Click the +Message' menu and move the mouse over "Send all +messages". Now you press Ctrl-Y. Immediately the menu +text is updated and the function is in place. Please +note that a previous function that Ctrl-Y was +assigned to, will no longer have a shortcut key. If +you want to remove the key binding, do the same +thing, but press the "delete" key on the menu-item. +Then the key binding is removed. +

3.8 Q08 Can I close windows without the mouse? +

+ +

A. Of course!! Not all windows, but by pressing ESCape, +you can close the addressbook, the window of viewing +a mail-source (message>view source), the window of +viewing the headers, and several others. Just give +it a try and you will find all of them. +

3.9 Q09 Can I change the way the date is displayed in the message summary? +

+ +

A. As of 0.4.65 you can. The options are: +%y = year in numbers %m = month in number +%d = day in numbers %c = date/time for locale +%A = full weekday name %a = short month name +%B = full month name %b = short month name +%H = hours in 24-clock %I = hours in 12-clock +For more information go to the configuration menu, +select Common preferences / Display and move the +mouse cursor over the input box for the date display +format. +
