Customize Mozilla Mail Help

Customize Mozilla Mail

To customize mail, you must complete all fields on this screen. If you leave some but not all fields blank, the system prompts you to complete the blank fields.

If you leave all the fields blank, the customized version of Mozilla 1.4.1 produced by CCK will not include any customized mail settings.

For more information on customizing Mozilla Mail, see Preparing to Customize Mozilla Mail and News in Guide to Customizing and Distributing Mozilla 1.4.1.

Click the Show Example buttons to see examples of the corresponding customization.

Domain

Domain name. Enter the default e-mail domain that you want to appear in the Mozilla mail account settings. For example, if you enter "mach.net" in this field, Mozilla automatically appends each user's name with "@mach.net" when your users set up their accounts. The domain name field also determines default values on the Identity screen of the Account Wizard.

Display name. Enter the mail account name that you want to appear as the Mail Folder in the left frame of the main Mozilla Mail screen. For example, "Mach Networks Mail".

Mail provider. Enter the text that you want to appear in the New Account Setup screen, where users are prompted to select the type of account that they would like to set up, such as a newsgroup, e-mail, or Webmail. This screen includes a variety of options; choices include AOL and Mozilla accounts, so the more specific you make this text, the more helpful to your customer. For example, to be consistent with other choices on this account setup list, you might enter a string such as "Macn Networks Mail Account".

Incoming Server

The fields in this section enable you to specify the settings that appear in the Server Settings screen for the Mozilla Mail Account settings.

Server name. Enter the name of the incoming server. For example: machnet.mail.net

Port number. Enter the port for the incoming server. The standard port number is 110.

Server type. Choose POP or IMAP. If you choose POP, you can also choose to leave messages on the server even after the user deletes them in the Mozilla Mail program.

Outgoing Server (SMTP)

Server Name. Enter the name of the outgoing SMTP server, for example, smtp.mach.net

Feedback. Click this button to go to a web page where you can provide feedback about the CCK Tool.

Next. Each time you click Next in a CCK screen, the information you entered or changed on that screen gets automatically saved with the selected configuration.

Exit. Click this button to exit the CCK Tool. The customizations you have specified in any preceding screens are saved, but information you have specified on the current screen is not saved.
