KMail/Generelt om brug af KMail
Hovedvinduet
Hovedvinduet er det vindue, som dukker op når KMail startes. Det er som standard inddelt i tre felter:
Mappelisten (i venstre side)
Feltet indeholder en liste med dine mapper til e-mails (nogle e-mail-programmer kalder dem mailbokse). Klik på en mappe for at vælge den. E-mailene i mappen bliver nu vist i e-mail-listen. Mappelisten kan både blive vist i en kort liste, som kun optager en del af den venstre side af skærmen og som en lang liste, der optager hele venstre side af skærmen, men som kan vise flere mailbokse. Du kan skifte imellem disse to visninger i Brug af mapper for mere information om, hvordan man bruger mapper.
i dialogen . Den øverste del af mappefeltet indeholder links til dine favoritmapper. Tilføj mapper ved at højreklikke på en mappe og vælge . Se afsnittetBrevoversigten (øverst til højre som standard)
Dette felt indeholder en liste med header-information (mailens statusflag, afsender, emne, dato og eventuelt yderligere søjler som størrelse, flag for bilag, vigtigt osv.) for e-mailene i den aktuelt valgte mappe. Klik på en header for at vælge e-mailen og vise den i brevfremviseren. Du kan også markere mere end en e-mail ved at holde Ctrl-tasten nede mens du klikker på e-mailene. Du kan ændre visningen af din brevoversigt ved at vælge . Du har nu flere muligheder.

- - Lader dig tilpasse dit eget tema til brevoversigten; du kan fx tilføje og fjerne søjler fra den klikbare sorteringslinje.
If you have chosen a theme with a clickable status, you may sort the messages by clicking on the column that you wish to sort; if you click on the same column more than once, sort order will toggle between ascending/descending and some alternative sorting criteria will become available (like sorting by Status when you click on the header of the Subject column). Clicking the right mouse button on the list header shows a pop up menu, which allows you to show or hide several columns in the list. You can customize the columns visible on the sort bar, see Configure Appearance Message List for details.
Message preview pane (in the lower right by default)
This pane displays the currently selected message. Below you will find options to adjust the reader window to your preference. The top of the reader window contains various header options. Go to

If you prefer to view your email in HTML format instead of plain text (Default), click on the bar located on the left hand side of the pane. The text on the bar will inform you which view you are in. If this bar is missing you can enable it in the
dialog, from there you want the Message Window tab, and select Show HTML status bar.If you would like to change how your attachments appear in your messages, go to
. Your options are as follows:- , all attachments appear as icons at the bottom of the message.
