<p>Haiku incluye un sistema que obtiene el correo electrónico regularmente mediante un servicio de correo (también conocido como mail_daemon) y guarda cada correo como un archivo de texto individual. Analiza el correo y rellena sus atributos con toda la información necesaria en la cabecera, como por ejemplo los campos De, Para, Asunto, y su estado de lectura. Ahora ya puede ser consultado por usted o por cualquier aplicación. Este sistema hace que cambiar de clientes de correo sea sencillo, ya que todos los datos y configuraciones permanecen iguales.<br/>
La configuración se realiza desde el panel de preferencias de la aplicación.</p>
<aid="creating"name="creating">Creación de una cuenta de correo electrónico</a></h2>
<p>Empecemos el proceso de configurar una cuenta de correo electrónico..<br/>
Se puede comenzar haciendo clic en el botón <spanclass="button">Add (Añadir)</span> para crear una cuenta nueva sin nombre. Esto abre una ventana donde se rellena toda la información de la cuenta:</p>
<p>Primero, escriba el tipo de cuenta <i>(Account Type)</i> que puede ser o bien <spanclass="menu">Sólo recibir correo (Receive Mail Only)</span>, <spanclass="menu">Sólo enviar correo (Send Mail Only)</span>, o el tipo mas común, <spanclass="menu">Enviar y recibir correo (Send and Receive Mail)</span>. Después se selecciona la forma en la que obtiene el correo, con <spanclass="menu">POP3</span> o <spanclass="menu">IMAP</span>.</p>
<p>Ahora se introduce la <i>dirección de correo electrónico (E-mail Address)</i>, <i>nombre de usuario (Login Name)</i> y <i>clave (Password)</i>, escriba un <i>nombre para la cuenta (Account Name)</i> que será como se muestre en Haiku, y su <i>nombre real (Real Name)</i>.</p>
<p>Si la cuenta es de algún proveedor importante de correo electrónico, Haiku ya conoce todos los detalles técnicos como las direcciones IP del servidor y la información se rellena automáticamente. Si ese no es el caso, sólo tiene que seguir esta guía y rellenar los detalles para su cuenta de correo adecuadamente.</p>
<p>Desde el menú emergente se elige el tipo de protocolo que usa su proveedor. <spanclass="menu">IMAP</span> y <spanclass="menu">POP3</span> están soportados.</p>
<p>Lo siguiente es la dirección del <spanclass="menu">Servidor de Correo (Mail Server)</span> para los correos entrantes. Si su proveedor necesita que entre por algún puerto específico, añádalo directamente a la dirección, separado por dos puntos. Por ejemplo, <tt>pop.su-proveedor.org:1400</tt>.</p>
<p>Then you enter your login information, <i>Username</i> and <i>Password</i>, and if necessary change the <i>Login Type</i> from the default <spanclass="menu">Plain Text</span> to <spanclass="menu">APOP</span> for authentication.</p>
<p>If you use <i>POP3</i> and retrieve mails of this account from different computers, you may want to activate the option to <spanclass="menu">Leave mail on server</span> and only <spanclass="menu">Remove mail from server when deleted</span> locally.</p>
<p>If you use <i>IMAP</i> instead, you have the option to <spanclass="menu">Remove mail from server when deleted</span> locally. You can specify a <spanclass="menu">Top Mailbox Folder</span> to only synchronize with a specific folder and its subfolders.</p>
<p>The <spanclass="menu">New Mail Notification</span> offers different methods to announce the arrival of new mail. Try different settings to see what works best for you.</p>
<p>You can change the <i>Location</i> of your inbox (default: <spanclass="path">/boot/home/mail/in/</span>), which is useful if you'd like to separate the mails from different accounts into their own folders. However, queries let you sort things out just as well.</p>
<p>Last on this page, you can opt to only <spanclass="menu">Partially download messages</span> that are larger than a certain size. This will only get the header and you can decide if you want to download the rest of the message plus possible attachments after seeing the subject and who sent it. Useful if you have a slow connection.</p>
<p>As with incoming mail, you can also change the <i>Location</i> of your outbox (default: <spanclass="path">/boot/home/mail/out/</span>).</p>
<p>Next is the <i>SMTP Server</i> address for outgoing mails. As with the incoming server before, you can use a specific port if needed, e.g. <tt>mail.your-provider.org:1200</tt>.</p>
<p>If you need to login, you change the <i>Login Type</i> to <spanclass="menu">ESMTP</span> and enter username and password above. The other type is used for providers that need you to check for mail with <spanclass="menu">POP3 before SMTP</span> for identification.</p>
<p>If you want to filter your incoming email, you click on <spanclass="menu">E-Mail Filters</span> under your account's name to set up automatic sorting. You can add any number of filters that are applied one after the other. You can rearrange them by drag&dropping them to their new position.<br/>
Besides the <spanclass="menu">R5 Daemon Filter</span> that's used for backward compatibility, there are two other <spanclass="menu">Incoming Mail Filters</span> you can add.</p>
<p>The spam filter uses statistical methods to classify a mail as unwanted spam. It assigns a value between 0 and 1 to it and you can decide what are the limits for a genuine mail and what will be considered spam.<br/>
You can have that spam rating added to the start of the subject.<br/>
Also, the spam filter can learn from all incoming e-mail. Of course, you'll have to teach it by sorting out the false positives, mails that were mistakenly marked as spam. You'll find more on that when we discuss the application <spanclass="app">Mail</span>.</p>
<p>Together with the following <spanclass="menu">Match Header</span> filter, you're able to automatically sort out detected spam mails.</p>
<td>Estado actual del mensaje. El estado del mensaje puede ser: "Read" (leido), "Replied" (respondido), "Sent" (enviado), "Forwarded" (transferido), "New" (nuevo) o cualquier otro estado definido por el usuario. Cuando el Servicio de Correo baja un mensaje, su estado inicial será siempre "New" (nuevo), salvo que se lo modifique mediante un filto.</td></tr>
<td>this is a numerical estimate that the spam filter assigned to the e-mail. They are shown in scientific notation, where 1.065e-12 translates to 1.065 divided by 10 to the 12th power, which in this case translates to 0.000000000001065.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>The second text field holds your search pattern. It accepts <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression"class="external free"title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular expression"rel="nofollow">regular expressions</a> which gives it great flexibility, while unfortunately complicating things a bit. Read up on it a bit, it's well worth it and simple search patterns aren't <i>that</i> complicated at all.</p>
<p>With the pop-up menu below it, you assign an action when the pattern matches. You can move or delete a mail, set the status to "Read" or anything else or set the e-mail account you'll reply with.</p>
<p>At this moment, there's only one filter that deals with outgoing mail: <spanclass="cli">fortune</span>.
<br/>It will attach a randomly chosen funny or wise "fortune cookie" to the end of every mail before it's sent out. You can do a dry run by issuing the command <spanclass="cli">fortune</span> in a Terminal.</p>
<p>Now that your incoming and outgoing mail servers (and maybe some filters, too), are configured, you have to tell the Mail Service that does all the actual checking and fetching how to do its job.</p>
<p>Under <i>Mail Checking</i> you configure the interval at which the account's mail server is probed for new mail.<br/>
If you're on a dial-up connection, you may want to do that <spanclass="menu">Only When Dial-Up is Connected</span> and also <spanclass="menu">Schedule Outgoing Mail When Dial-Up is Disconnected</span> to avoid dialing automatically in regularly only to check for mail.</p>
<p>The Mail Service has a status window which you can set to show up <spanclass="menu">Never</span>, <spanclass="menu">While Sending</span>, <spanclass="menu">While Sending and Receiving</span> or <spanclass="menu">Always</span>.</p>
<p>Make sure to <spanclass="menu">Start Mail Services on Startup</span> or there will be no mail_daemon running to do your bidding...</p>
<p><spanclass="menu">Edit Mailbox Menu...</span> will open the folder <spanclass="path">/boot/home/config/Mail/Menu Links/</span>. All folders or queries (!) or their links put into this folder will appear in the context menu of the mailbox icon of the Mail Services in the Deskbar tray.</p>
<p>From that menu, you can also <spanclass="menu">Create New Message...</span>, <spanclass="menu">Check For Mail Now</span> or <spanclass="menu">Edit Preferences...</span>.</p>
<p>The mailbox icon itself shows if there are unread messages (status "New") when there are envelopes inside.</p>
