Receive Mail

Manual checking

To check mail for a specific account:

1.	Select an account in the account tree (left side)

2.	Click the Get New Mail button on the toolbar

Note: In accordance with the respective protocols - POP3 or IMAP - The Bat! behaves differently when you check your mail. With POP3, all of your mail downloadeds to your local computer and is deleted from the server (depending on your settings in the account's properties). For IMAP, all your folders are synchronised and then The Bat! goes off line; this behaviour can be changed to fit your needs in the account properties.

To check mail for more than one account:

1.	Go to Tools->Check Mail for All

Note: You can define which accounts will not be checked by The Bat! in the Account Properties->Options window.

To stay on line with an IMAP account:

1.	Go to Account->IMAP Commands->Connect to the server
