[sylpheed:36268] Re: Synchronizing emails locally

[Ernst van der Storm]

Hi Stef,

I use Version 3.4.1 (Build 1156) on Ubuntu lts14. Gui-version.
I never had to compile it, just configured after startup, not with a script.
I have the Dutch language so I translate my menus:
* instellingen=configuration (the second from right, in Dutch instellingen)
* pull down to accountvoorkeuren=account preferences (menu item #6), I suppose; I have 2 accounts maybe is everything under common pref's
* I have there my first account, a window with 8 tabs in it
* chose tab receive (that should be there, #2 from left)
* in there a field with number of days (I have 3 days there)

Succes, 	Ernst.

 Thanks for your reply, Ernst.
 
 I looked everywhere before posting here and I just cannot see the option you are talking about.
 
 I am using Version 3.4.2 (Build 1159), on Linux 3.18 x86_64.
 
 built with:
 
 ./configure --prefix=/usr 
               --enable-ldap
 
 Are you using the windows version perhaps?
 
 I also could just be blind today....but am not seeing it.
 
 PS Are we top posting in this list?
