Options

Here you can set all the default options for PopTray. Once you change any option the save button becomes available. You have to save the options for the change to stay in effect after you quit PopTray. All options are saved in PopTray.ini in your PopTray program directory.

At the top is the Check Interval. You can either set on global timer interval for all mail accounts, or a different interval for each account. Checking the Interval per Account buttons removes the global setting, and you must set the interval in the accounts screen. No checking will happen if you disable AutoCheck from the Tray Menu.

Defaults:

E-Mail Program	The default E-mail Client you want to run when your press the "Run E-mail Client" button on the Mail List screen. Double-Clicking can be customized to run this program. Next to the Program Box is a "Test" button. Use this button to make sure you can run the program successfully.
Default Sound	The WAV file that will be played when you receive new mail on any account where you haven't specified a sound in the account details.
Check Hot-Key	Define a system-wide HotKey to check for new mail. Just press the key combination you want in the edit box. Although most key combinations are possible, be careful not to override default keys (eg. Ctrl-C) or it will be captured by PopTray and not sent the active program. A key combination like Ctrl-Alt-P is recommended.

General Options:

Check for New Mail on Startup	Immediately check for mail when PopTray starts.
Start Minimized	PopTray will startup in minimized state. Thus the window will be hidden and only the tray icon will be visible.
Animated Tray Icon	Animate the Tray Icon when you receive new mail. This will produce a flashing indicator instead of the normal static one.
Reset Tray Icon when Viewing	Reset the Tray Icon message count when you view the PopTray mail list window. When new mail arrives only the new count since last view will be shown.
Rotate Icon for each Account	Animated Tray Icon rotating to show the number of messages in each account. The account can be identified by the color of the circle.
Show Window on Notification	Show the PopTray window when new mail arrives.

Advanced Options:

Viewed Messages Icon	Display a different icon for messages you've already viewed in PopTray, and a "new" icon for message that arrived since the last check.
X Button Minimizes	The X close button in the top right-hand corner will minimize PopTray instead of closing it. To close use "Quit" in the Tray Menu.
Decode Preview Message	When previewing a message with MIME parts PopTray will decode the MIME message, show the first part in the preview and the rest as attachments. When unselected, preview will show the RAW message.
Mix Colors	Try to mix the colors in the tray when e-mail arrives in multiple accounts. Windows only allows 16 colors in the tray, so mixing will not always give the correct color.
Check if On-Line	First check if you are on-line before checking for e-mail. Used by dial-up users who don't want the dial-up dialog to pop-up when you are not connected. Makes checking a little bit slower.
Deletion Confirmation	Ask for confirmation before deleting any e-mails. This only works for the "Delete" button. Deleting messages using rules will not ask for confirmation.
Log Rules	Write all rules actions to a log file. Filename: RULES.LOG in the same directory as PopTray.
Double Click Delay on Click	When you Click on the TrayIcon, a delay will occur, to see if you are about to double-click, before executing the Click action. When this option is Off, a single-click will immediately execute, and if a double-click occurs, it will execute again. eg. If Left-Click is assigned to show the messages, and you double-click the tray, it will show the messages immediately, then hide them again before executing the double-click action.
Minimize to Tray	Minimize PopTray to the System Tray instead of the Taskbar.
Always on Top	Show the PopTray window always on top of other windows.
Don't Show Error Dialogs	If a connection error occurs, PopTray won't stop with an error dialog, but will instead just pop-up a balloon with the error for 15 seconds then disappear. The error will also be shown in the account status bar.
Password Protect	PopTray will ask for a password before show the mail window. If you select this option a box will appear where you should type the password you want. Only use this option together with the "Minimize to Tray" option.
