When you first launch MailSteward the default Settings are in place. MailSteward will create a database file on your Desktop named 'myemaildb'. If you click on Archive, MailSteward will archive the email in all of the email accounts that you have in the OS X Mail application. There are also default settings for a number of other options. Settings are associated with database files. Each database file, if you have more than one, has its own settings. There are several different panels in the Settings window, which are described below. When any of the Settings have been changed, click on the Save Settings button to save the changes. You can also reset all of the Settings back to the defaults by clicking on the Reset button. The General Settings panel is where you can open an existing database file, or create a new one, by clicking on the Open or New buttons. The path and file name of the current database file is shown in the text box. There are options for whether or not you want to keep email attachments in the database, or limit the size of archived attachments to some number of megabytes. There are also options to specify whether or not to include Trash and Junk mailboxes, and all mailboxes. You can also choose to set an upper limit on the number of emails retrieved by searching or browsing, and you can choose to always launch attachments when they are clicked on instead of being asked whether to launch them or save them as files. By default, MailSteward will automatically check for new versions. If you don't want this you can uncheck the 'Check for updates on launch' box, and you can always check for updates by choosing 'Check for Updates...' from the MailSteward menu. This panel allows you to select the email accounts or mailboxes that you wish to archive. By default all email accounts are selected. You can choose whether to select accounts or select mailboxes. You select an account or mailbox by clicking on it. You can select multiple accounts or mailboxes by shift-clicking and command-clicking. You can also tell MailSteward to always archive any email mbox files that are in a particular folder. MailSteward will then look for email files in the specified folder and all of its subfolders and archive them in addition to the email in the selected accounts or mailboxes. If the box is checked to "Delete email in this folder after it is archived", then the email files in the designated folder will be deleted once they have been archived. The Viewing panel lets you set the font and the date format to be used when displaying email text. Any combination of year, month, day order and separator character (-, /, .) can be chosen for the date format. You can also choose the default sorting order for Browse and Search results. Choose any of the fields to sort by, and whether the sort should be ascending or descending. The Scheduling and Indexing Settings are explained in separate sections of this manual, Schedule Archive and Indexing for faster searches.
