Contents [ enamel ] [ Introduction ] [ Licence ] [ Features ] [ Restrictions ] [ What's new? ] [ Future ] [ History ] [ Installation ] [ Configuration ] [ Usage ] [ Availability ] [ Known bugs and problems ] [ Thanks ] | Installing enamel Copy the whole enamel directory whereever you want and deactivate any other email software you are using. Now you have to go on with these steps: Copy all files from home/config/settings/ to /boot/home/config/settings/. Edit those files to make them fit your needs. Check the Configuration section for more informations. You should also launch hermes a first time. On the first startup, hermes may tell you that it is not the default application for message/rfc822 files. It will also offer you to do the necessary changes for you, which you should accept. It will also make some custom attributes available in the Tracker's "Attributes" view. Have a look at the "Messages" folder and the example queries inside to get an idea how to list your messages in an efficient way. Please don't forget to read and understand Be's documentation about Queries and Filetypes first. In the "bin" folder, there is a command line mail tool. It's usage is simple. Launch it from shell, giving the addresses of the recipients as arguments. Now type in your message, headers first, then a blank line and the text afterwards. As usual for command line mail tools, a single dot at the beginning of a new line will end the mail. Dots at the beginning of any other lines have to be escaped with two dots. There you go.
