The help system in Pooka has been added recently, and the actual help documents have not yet fully been written. So while some pages are available, this one isn't. If you'd like to contribute to the Pooka documentation, please contact akp@sourceforge.net.
Reading Email with Pooka is very similar to reading email in other GUI clients. First you select the folder (usually your INBOX) which contains the messages that you want to read. The folders available to you can be found in the left navigation pane of the main Pooka window. Double-click on the folder that you wish to open in order to bring its messages up in Pooka's message panel.
For new users:
New mail always appears in your INBOX folder. See the Folder maintenence section for more information about Pooka's folder system, including what the default folders are used for and how to create new folders to sort your mail.Once you've selected the folder with your email, simply double-click on the row that shows your message.
