The RexxMail Configuration folder (a shadow of which is located in the 'Accessories' folder) is an invisible folder in the 'Main' folder, and contains a number of files that control the way RexxMail operates. They are:
-
'closing.txt'
An optional file containing a closing phrase to be added to outgoing messages when they are opened for editing.
-
'errorlog.txt'
A file containing a log of the error messages produced by RexxMail.
-
'mailaddr.txt' and 'mailaddr.bak'
These files contain the text version (and a backup copy) of the contents of the 'Addresses' folder, created by the address export function.
-
'maillogs.txt'
A file containing logs of the messages sent and collected by RexxMail through its built-in SMTP and POP3 services.
-
'mailread.txt' and 'mailsent.tst'
The contents of these files determine where messages are stored after sending or viewing.
-
'mimetype.txt'
A list of MIME types for attachment processing.
-
'settings.txt'
The main RexxMail configuration file. Its contents control the way RexxMail works.
In addition, there is a folder, 'Lists', which is used to hold text files listing e-mail addresses for use with the RexxMail mailing list feature.
