Main preferences

On Eclipse under Window > Preferences there is a section REmail.
If you click on it you should see something similar to this:

Here you can choose the method which will be used by REmail to search through the mailing list to find a correspondence with classes.
We suggest to use the Case Sensitive method.

CouchDB preferences

If you expand the Main Preferences, you'll find some other setting.
The first and most important one is the one named CouchDB, where you have to tell Remail where to find the server containig databases it'll use.
The page should look like as follows:

The important settings are: Couch DB server and Couch DB server port where you have to specify server address and port of the server on which CouchDB is running.
The other two settings identify yourself as a user of Couchdb, those are needed for the Rating feature.

User account preferences

Another setting is the SMTP User Account page, where you need to insert the information relative to your SMTP connection to your email provider. These are needed to send emails using REmail. The page should look like as follows:

Where:

1. the Combo box at the beginning is used to select an existing account, or create a new one
2. email address is your email address
3. SMTP username is the username you use to send emails
4. SMTP password is the password for your user
5. SMTP server is the outgoing server of your email provider
6. SMTP port is the port of the server
7. SSL tells if you want to use SSL encryption security or not
8. Delete account do exactly what you think it will do!

Our tests indicates that if you use Gmail you have to enable SSL, otherwise it will not work!
