Initial setupThe first thing to do is open up your mail account settings.
Here you need to choose to add a new mail account. Set the server type as IMAP, and use your zope.org login for your username. For clarity, you may want to call this server 'Zope mail archives', or something similar. The next thing to look at your settings for this server.
You may wish to check the 'Use Secure Connection', so your password will be protected. You do not need to set any of the advaced settings, so close up your mail account settings window. Now, right click on the mail server name and select 'Subscribe'. You will be prompted for your password.
Enter your password and a list of mail archives will show up. Choose the ones you want to read, and press ok.
Your list of mailboxes will be updated now.
Choose an archive you wish to read, and it will load up. Some of the larger archives may take a little while to load, but this will only happen the first time. For subsequent accesses, you will only need to retrieve the headers for new messages in the archive. Now you can start reading messages.
Searching the archivesA handy feature of this archive is the ability to search through messages. To search an archive, right click on the archive name and select 'Search messages'.
A window will come up for you to enter your search criteria. Here, we run a search on messages about the Zope Weekly News.
You can refine your search by clicking the more button and adding further restriction. Now look for the message you want an select it. Missing archivesThis server contains several archives, but you may not see one that you are expecting to see. If this happens, you need to contact zope.org. Some archives are restricted, and you will have to be granted access. |
