- Selecting conferences in the most important part of using the OLMS mail
- door. Here you select what type of messages you want to read by joining
- message areas with the (J)oin function. You can do this many areas at a
- time by seperating the area numbers with a space. For example "1 34 23"
- would join the three areas listed. (Note: You can use "ALL" if you want
- to quickly select all areas.) You will then be asked a few questions.
-
- Receive what type of messages? (A/p/g/?) if you are not sure of what the
- letters A/p/g mean, press "?" for a decription of each. Receive messages
- written by yourself? Usually you would select "No" here unless you want
- to download messages you had already written and sent. Apply Filters or
- Apply Keywords? If you have defined any keywords or filters (or plan to)
- this is where you can apply them to the areas you wish them to work on.
- Start from your last message read? Normally you would select "Yes" but
- sometimes - if you are joining a busy conference - you might not want to
- start from the first message if you haven't read any messages before, in
- this case, you can select the number of messages back you'd like to go.
- The most common setting is General type messages with keys and filters.
