>This is a short introduction to <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>KMail</SPAN
> and its usage so you can start
working with it right away. For more in-depth information see the 
<A
HREF="secusingkmail.html"
>Using <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>KMail</SPAN
></A
> section.</P
><P
>Invoking <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>KMail</SPAN
> for the first time creates a directory called <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>Mail</TT
> containing the initial
files (<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>inbox</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>outbox</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>sent-mail</TT
> and 
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>trash</TT
>) in your home directory.  Use
<SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings</SPAN
>-&gt;<SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Configuration...</SPAN
> to enter some initial information so <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>KMail</SPAN
> will 
be able to properly retrieve and send your messages.</P
><P
>The Configure window consists of seven sections: 
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Identity</SPAN
>, <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Network</SPAN
>, 
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Appearance</SPAN
>,  <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Composer</SPAN
>, 
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>MIME Headers</SPAN
>,
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Security</SPAN
>, and <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Miscellaneous</SPAN
>. 

To begin sending and receiving email you will only have to change the
settings in the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Identity</SPAN
> and <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Network</SPAN
> tabs.</P

></H1
><P
>The settings in the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Identity</SPAN
> tab are 
fairly straightforward. Fill in the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Name</SPAN
> field
with your full name (e.g. <TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>John Doe</B
></TT
>)
and the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Organization</SPAN
> field (optional) with the appropriate
information.</P
><P
>Next, fill in the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Email Address</SPAN
> and the 
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Reply-To Address</SPAN
> (optional) field 
with your email address. Finally, set the location of your signature file in the
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Signature File</SPAN
> field. You can skip setting the 
signature file if you do not have one, but every time you compose a new message,
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>KMail</SPAN
> will ask you for your signature file. So if you don't want one, select
<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Specify signature below</SPAN
> and just don't
enter anything in the field below.</P
><P
>If you want
a random signature, you may specify a program 
and check the <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>The file is a program</SPAN
> box.</P
