Updating and visiting folder

To fetch arrived messages, store them to the +inbox folder and list up them, use `i'. The list is appended to the bottom of Summary mode for the +inbox folder.

At that time, you may be required to input your password. Please refer to See section Let's get started to know what you should take care when inputing password. If you get sick of inputing your password time to time, please make use of the password-cache mechanism with following configuration.

(setq mew-use-cached-passwd t)

If you use this password-cache mechanism, you can omit password while the password is cached. Since passwords are cached in Emacs, you should take care so that other people cannot touch your computer.

To list up messages in Summary mode or flush it, use `s'. This command asks you to input range. Important ranges for Mew are as follows:

`update'

From "the last message in the Summary mode + 1" to "the last message in the corresponding folder". That is, the gap between the Summary mode and the existing folder

`all'

All messages in the folder. When Summary mode becomes inconsistent, use this range to flush the list.

The default range is usually `update'. So, just type `RET' after `s' to get the up-to-date list of the current folder.

You can specify the following ranges though they are not important for Mew.

`<num1>-<num2>'

From <num1> to <num2>

`<num>:N'

N messages from <num>

`<num>:-N'

N messages to <num>

`first:N'

N messages from the first

`prev:N'

N messages to the current

`next:N'

N messages from the current

`last:N'

N messages to the last

To go to another folder, type `g'. You can make use of folder name completion with `TAB'. When you move a folder and if Mew considered that its list of messages are old, Mew automatically displays the differences.

Here is a summary for commands up above.

`i'

Fetch arrived messages, store them to the +inbox folder and list up them

`s'

List up messages in Summary mode or flush it.

`g'

Go to another folder.
