| AmaroK 05/09/2003 2:43pm | Hi there,
I've found Inscribe while searching for a proper MS replacement. I think InScribe is an excellent piece of work. I have a small problem though. I need to send mails from different addresses, I know that there's an option to set the default sender, but it's not convenient. I also noticed that From box on the new message/reply message window. However I can only see the default Identity I configured. How on earth can I create multiple identities. I just couldn't find the option.... Thanks a lot! Amarok PS.I've started the hungarian translation... |

Then when you receive email from the account it will automatically use the associated identity for the reply. i.Scribe has only 1 identity for it's 1 account. Hungarian: Cool! |

Hi again, Well I still don't get it ;) To clear up: i can only create a single identity and add multiple email accounts to it, right? That sounds ok. However, when i click on new mail I cannot select the account I want that letter to be sent. When I click on the From icon, the added pane only lists the identity /and NOT the accounts!!/ thus i'm not able to actually select the email address to be sent the letter from. I hope i was clear;) So what am I doing wrong? Can I create multiple identities too somehow? Thanks!! |
| fReT 08/09/2003 8:23pm | Each account has an Identity associated with it. There is also a separate "default" Identity that is not associated with an account.
To create a second Identity, which has to be attached to an account, open that account in the options and enter the details in the Identity tab. e.g. 1) Default Identity (File->Options->IdentityTab) Name/Email/ReplyTo/Sig 2) "Work" Identity (File->Options->AccountsTab->Account[1]->IdentityTab) Name/Email/ReplyTo/Sig 3) "Home" Identity (File->Options->AccountsTab->Account[2]->IdentityTab) Name/Email/ReplyTo/Sig |
