Preparing a SquirrelMail account
SquirrelMail automatically generates the following special folders:
- 'Sent' for sent messages.
- 'Draft' for draft messages.
- 'Trash' for deleted messages.
Before starting to send and receive messages, for each individual user the following settings need to be adjusted:
- Language of the user interface
The standard setting is Dutch. You can easily change the language, displaying all SquirrelMail interface features in that language, including the help files. Note that this doesn't translate incoming email messages or folder names.
If you wish to change the language, follow the instructions under 1. Changing the language.
- Personal information and timezone
