If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)

Here you need to choose to add a new mail account. Set your display name, e-mail address, choose the server type as IMAP, and use your zope.org login for your username.

Once you have finalized your account settings and are back at the Mail Account Settings screen, click on the new mail account and click on the properties button. Select the IMAP tab, and set the Root Folder Path to "archive".

Close the Accounts window, and you should be prompted to download folders from the newly added mail server. Select YES. Choose the folders you want to read, and press ok.

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 archives

A handy feature of this archive is the ability to search through messages. To search an archive, select Edit->Find->Message from your taskbar.

You can refine your search by adding further restriction. Now look for the message you want an select it.

Unsubscribing from archives

If you ever unsubscibe from all of the archives, you may find trying to resubscribe harder than you thought. Select Tools->IMAP Folders from your taskbar. The archives that you are subscribed to have a mail icon next to them.
