Frequently Asked Questions
6
Often people have the same questions that have been asked many times
7
before. This is a list of commonly asked questions and answers.
13
Can I use multiple names from the address book?
17
Yes. The address book search will display all matches for the
18
search criteria entered in the search box. If 10 names are displayed
19
any combination may be selected for either the <B>To:</B> or <B>CC:</B>
20
fields. All selected addresses will be inserted into the proper
21
field when the Use Address button is pressed.
28
Can I add names directly to the address book from a email?
32
No. At this time you cannot add names directly from a received email
33
to the address book. You can, however, right click on the address and
34
save it to the clipboard and paste this into the address book. Try
35
not to be disappointed. SquirrelMail is under continual development
36
and this might be included in the future in one form or another.
43
Who made SquirrelMail?
47
A lot of people helped out. To get a list of them, you can visit our
48
web site <a href="http://www.squirrelmail.org" target=_top>www.squirrelmail.org</a>.
59
In SquirrelMail's case it gives you access through the IMAP protocol
60
to your email account. This means that you don't have to figure out how
61
to setup someone else's stuff just to check your mail.
68
Where can I use this webmail?
72
Any where there is a browser available.
73
Wireless access (WAP/WML) is not on the drawing board at this time though.
80
Why use webmail instead of a regular email client?
84
It is doubtful that webmail will ever be a complete substitute for
85
a regular email client. But hey, who knows? Anyway, If you ever
86
were at a friend's house, on a trip, at home or work and away from
87
your computer and wanted to check your mail you already know why.
88
Because it is a huge hassle to set your mail up on their computer
89
and then delete it again. SquirrelMail is designed to be a supplement
90
to your normal email client.
97
How does this stuff work?
101
SquirrelMail uses the IMAP protocol, info on it can be found
102
<A HREF="http://imap.org"/>here</A>. The program also uses
103
its own IMAP functions, not those built in to PHP4. This won't
104
matter to anybody except those responsible for installing it,
105
but trust us when we say they appreciate it.
