Once KNewMail is installed and configured, you will be presented with the main dialog window. This is where the magic happens. When new mail arrives the headers for the messages will be listed in this window. On the toolbar, the buttons from left to right are as follows: Force Check, Launch Mail Reader, Dock Window, Active Toggle. Here is a description of what they do:
- Force Check: This will stop the current timer and perform a check. Once done, the timer will be reset and restarted. Force Check is not affected by the active/inactive toggle. Even if the toggle is inactive, the check will still happen.
- Launch Mail Reader: This will launch the mail app specified in the config under notification options.
- Dock Window: Docks the window in the panel. The program will continue to be active and check mail, unless set to inactive.
- Active Toggle: Sets the program active or inactive. The current setting can be seen in the status bar.
