# Startup

`Open Inbox upon Startup`

  If set, `Balsa` will open your system inbox upon startup.

`Check Mail at Startup`

  If set, `Balsa` will automatically attempt to download mail from the POP3 mail server upon startup, and will check for new mail on an IMAP server.

`Remember Open Mailboxes Between Sessions`

  When marked, `Balsa` will remember and reopen mailboxes that were open when `Balsa` was last quit.

`IMAP Folder Scan Depth`

  Opening an IMAP folder can be time-consuming, because of the need to explore an entire tree of subfolders. You can defer scanning the tree by setting the scan depth to 1. `Balsa` will then descend into the tree only far enough to discover whether any folders that you can see have subfolders. The first time you expand any subtree, `Balsa` will explore more of the tree.

  If you prefer to have the whole tree available from startup, choose a depth as great as that of your folder tree. Intermediate settings may also be used.
