> # NetMail Preferences Read Tab

> The NetMail Preferences Read tab controls settings for how NetMail finds your stored mail folders, how often it looks for new mail, how it opens messages, and how it handles deleted messages.

> Table 3 TNetMail Preferences ReaTd Tab

> Item | Description
> --- | ---
> Top-level mail folder | Refers to the folder in which your mail folders reside on the (IMAP) mail server. The default value is Mail.
> Check for new mail every (minutes) | Determines the frequency (minutes) at which NetMail checks for new messages in the currently selected folder. The default value is 5 minutes. If this preference is set to 0, NetMail does not check for new messages.
> Initial headers | Controls the number of initial headers that are downloaded from the IMAP server when a folder is opened. To view additional message headers, choose More Message Headers from the Messages menu in the main window.
> Multiple read windows? | Opens a new read window for each new message you view.
> Reset Message Window Sizes? | Resets the message window size to the default size each time you view a new message. This option is deselected after restoring the default size. You need to enable it each time you log in to NetMail.
> When Exiting or Disconnecting: Purge deleted messages from INBOX? | Purges inbox messages that are flagged as deleted when you exit or disconnect.

> Tip | To download all headers each time you start NetMail, enter a large value for Initial headers, such as 999. The most recent headers are downloaded first, so if you set a small value, only the most recent messages are displayed. You have to manually request the remaining headers using More Message Headers from the Messages menu.
