# 2.3. The "New..." Dialog

The "New..." button will load a window showing you what mailboxes can be created for checking on a interval. Select your appropriate mailbox type. If you don't know what type you should use, and you currently use Netscape to check your mail, use POP3.

Following that window the modify options appear, allowing you to change all aspects of the mail checking, including interval.

Each mailbox type (i.e.: Pop3, nntp, imap) has different server options, but the rest of the options (including Poll, Commands, and View) are the same (excluding mailbox type "process"). In these server options dialogs you need to enter the appropriate information to fit your situation. Keep in mind the default ports that are entered some of the server options tabs are the normal ones used by the majority of the Internet.

The commands Poll tab contains one option that changes the time interval between each check. Keep in mind this is in seconds, not minutes.

Next, the view tab has options for changing the icon or icon color while KOrn is docked in Kicker. There are two options: "Use color" or "Use icon". Selecting "Use color" will allow you to modify the colors. Selecting "Use icon" will allow you to change which icon is used for both "Normal" and "New mail". Keep in mind that KOrn can only use a icon or color, not both.

In the commands tab you can specify a command to be run once you receive new mail in the "New mail" line. Also, the "Click" line can contain a command to be run when you left click on KOrn.
