1.7 Starting

To start Mew, you can choose one of the following:

M-x mew

Execute Mew first unless Mew is running. And retrieve arrived messages or just visit to the default folder.

proto’ is determined by ‘mew-proto’ and the "case" (see See section Changing receiving/sending behavior).

If ‘proto’ is ‘+’ (i.e. a local folder), a mailbox is determined according to ‘mew-mailbox-type’ (see See section Getting messages). Otherwise (i.e. a remote folder), an appropriate protocol to retrieve messages is chosen according to ‘proto’.

If ‘mew-auto-get’ is ‘t’, arrived messages are asynchronously fetched and listed up in Summary mode.

mew-auto-get’ is ‘nil’, just visit to the folder determined by ‘proto’.

C-uM-x mew

Perform ‘M-x mew’ with ‘mew-auto-get’ reversed.

M-x mew-send

Enter Draft mode for message composing.

C-xm

Enter Draft mode for message composing if ‘mail-user-agent’ is configured.

When Mew is executed on Emacs, two cute cats appear on the cover page.

For the methods of quitting Mew, please refer to See section Give me a break.
