Like most other Email clients CronosII allows you to configure your own mailbox structure.
You can not readily remove the following default Mailboxes:
The In-box , The Outbox, The Garbage or the Drafts Mailbox. This is because CronosII refers to them internally when carrying out its general functions.
![]() | You may however add sub-directories to these mailboxes if you find that useful. |
Here we configure Fonts and Colours
Selecting this from the Tree Menu allows configuration of the font style for the following items:
1. Message Body | 2. Unread Messages | 3. Read Messages | 4. Printing |
By clicking the Font Icon on the right hand side of the dialog a Font selection Dialog will open. Choose the font you wish to apply to your chosen function. (the text field will accept text entry and show a sample). You may also set the style and many other attributes from this dialog.
Once done check OK at the bottom of the Font Select dialog. Then click apply, OK or continue configuration from the preferences dialog.
![]() | This dialog is actually a GNOME Utility and has its own Manual available from the gnome help system.

CronosII allows you to choose your own colours for some different sections within a message.
Select Colours from the Menu and you will be given the option of colouring the Reply and forward elements of your mail and the general text colour.
The square button beneath the feature shows you the current colour. Click this to open the Gnome Colour Selector
This is useful in long and multi-contributor E-mail (such as you often find on mailing lists). When used in conjunction with Prepended Characters It can help make text format E-mail easier to read and comprehend.
This Utility has its own manual page which is available from the gnome help system.
Here you set the time CronosII will wait for a response from your server as it asks it various things.
Enter the time in seconds or use the arrow buttons to set how long CronosII will try getting responses from your ISP. The default should be fine for most people but if you have a dirty or slow connection you could try increasing this time for increased reliability. .
Enter the hostname of your SMTP server to maintain a constant connection. This may help speed up mail sending. (especially if your server requires you to log in with each connect.)
Here you choose when you want your CronosII Address Book to start up. i/ When CronosII starts ii/ when you type something in an address field and finally when you choose to open it from the main window.
The Address Book is used for auto-completion of email addresses.
