Description:

There are several options that you can use to control how certain MAIL8 features work. Option settings are recorded in a special location in your mailbox file. Once you set an option, it applies every time you use MAIL8 (until you explicitly change the option setting).

If you just say

          Option

with no other arguments, MAIL8 displays all the options that you currently have turned on. The command

          Option +Verbose

displays all the current option settings that affect you, whether they are on or off.

NOTE: Some of the options displayed with +Verbose are only of interest to the MAIL8 site administrator. These include the KILLServer and Suspend options. Normal users may ignore these options.
