Preferences

This page is used for customizing the appearance and operation of your account settings and functions. The Personalize page includes:

Language

This is the language in which the email client’s pages will appear.

Theme

This is the format or scheme that WorldClient will use when sending pages to your browser - i.e. Globe, Standard, frames, no frames, JavaScript with frames, a company Theme, etc.

Note

There may or may not be multiple themes available for use. If there are multiple themes available to you regarding frames or browser functionality (e.g. Java or JavaScript enabled), you should choose the highest level theme that your browser will support. You can always download the latest versions of Mozilla’s and Microsoft’s browsers free of charge from their web sites.

Style

This is the “look” of your pages (i.e. font colors and sizes, background colors, and so on). Choose your favorite. This does not change the layout of your pages. Layout and controls are determined by the Theme. The Simple theme has many styles to choose from including a large font style for the visually impaired.

 

Preferred Multipart Format

Sometimes an incoming message will be available in both plain text and HTML format (used for colors, fonts, bold text, etc.). When reading one of these messages, this is the format in which you want the message to be displayed.

Note

This is only applicable to messages that are available in both formats. Messages that are available in a single format will be displayed in the format appropriate to the message.

List Refresh Time

The setting determines how often your Message Listing will be refreshed. You can also refresh the Listing by clicking   Get Mail or   on the Navigation bar.

 

List Messages Per Page

This is the maximum number of messages that will be displayed at any given time in the Message Listing. You can view additional messages by paging through the Message Listing with the page controls. Using '0' (zero) will display all messages in the folder, however you should be aware that this can substantially slow down the performance of your browser and your computer if you have a large number of messages in the folder.  Thousands of messages at a time can render your computer almost useless on a slow dial-up connection due to the multiple megabyte file that is generated on the server that will have to be downloaded.  It is recommended that you set the value to 250 or less messages per page.

Note

The minimum number that you can set this control to is five.

Sort Order

Use this control to designate the default method by which you wish to sort the messages on the Message Listing. You can sort messages by: Subject, From (Sender), Date, or Size in either ascending or descending order.

For more information, see: Sorting the Message Listing.

 

Name Format

This control is for specifying the format in which you want the From: to be displayed in the Message Listing - the sender’s Full Name, Email Address, or both.

 

List All Attachments

Whenever possible, WorldClient will display graphic and text file attachments inline as part of the message. All other attachments will be listed at the bottom. Click this option

if you would like attachments that are displayed inline to be included in the list as well.

 

Empty Trash on Sign Out

Click this checkbox if you want your Trash folder to be emptied after

you sign out of WorldClient.
