  <title>Standard Unix mbox spool file receiving options</title>

<p>On the <gui>Receiving Email</gui> page (accessible via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Receiving Email</gui></guiseq>):</p>

<p>Choose the file by clicking on the button next to <gui>Path</gui> in the <gui>Configuration</gui> section. This will open a file chooser window.</p>
<!-- TODO: Fix after https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655629 is fixed - Calling this file a "Path" is just plain wrong. -->

<p>On the <gui>Receiving Options</gui> page (accessible via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Receiving Options</gui></guiseq>):</p>

<p>If you want Evolution to check automatically for new messages, click the <gui>Check for new messages every ... minutes</gui> option and select the frequency in minutes.</p>
<p>If you want <link xref="mail-filters">Filters</link> to be automatically used for new messages in your inbox, enable <gui>Apply filters to new messages in INBOX</gui>.</p>

<!-- TODO:XINCLUDE: Maybe later replace this "go back" workaround by doing some content sharing with xinclude and xpointer in intro-first-run.page itself? <include href="foo.xml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/> See gnome-user-docs module for example usage. -->
