The screenshot shows in fact a PNG, not a JPEG. Thanks HaikuBot for noticing.

<p>Documentation is still missing. If you want to work on it, please announce it on the <a href="http://www.freelists.org/list/haiku-doc">Documentation mailing list</a> to avoid duplication.</p>
<p>In Haiku, a mail_daemon running in the background is responsible for retrieving and sending emails from/to your email accounts. Emails are kept as separate files with a number of attributes, e.g. To, From, Subject, Thread etc., that are automatically filled from the email headers. Accounts, email file locations and other settings for receiving/sending are configured in the <a href="../preferences/e-mail.html">E-mail preferences</a>.</p>
<p>Once your mails are downloaded from your provider's server, you can create custom queries to quickly find specific mails. Double-clicking a mail launches the preferred mail application, by default Mail.</p>

<a id="mail-app" name="mail-app">The Mail application</a></h1>

<p>When opening an email or creating a new one, Mail's window shows above the body of the mail the usual email header fields: recepient (<span class="menu">To</span>), sender account (<span class="menu">From</span>), encoding setting (<span class="menu">Encoding</span>), subject line (<span class="menu">Subject</span>), carbon copy (<span class="menu">CC</span>) and blind carbon copy (<span class="menu">BCC</span>).</p>
<p>When creating a new mail, <span class="menu">To</span>, <span class="menu">CC</span> and <span class="menu">BCC</span> are drop-down menus that hold the entries of your person files, see topic <a href="people.html">People</a>.</p>
