<title>Getting Started with &Balsa;</title>
<p>If you're starting &Balsa; for the first time, the first
thing you'll see is an assistant that will set up &Balsa;'s
basic settings. &Balsa; can guess most of what it needs to
know about you. It will also create five standard local
mailboxes: the Inbox, Outbox, Sentbox, Draftbox, and Trash.
(These can be changed to be &IMAP; mailboxes later.)</p>

<p>Don't worry. &Balsa; cooperates with other
<link xref="glossary#mua">MUA</link>'s very well. They share the
same locking semantics for mailboxes. If &Balsa; shares the
same mail directory as &Pine; or &Mutt;, it will detect
new folders as they are created. So if you have to telnet in to
your mail machine, you won't be stuck.</p>
<p>There are many more settings in &Balsa;'s
<link xref="preferences">preferences window</link>, but most of
them do not need to be changed.</p>
<p>Once &Balsa; is configured, you will proceed on to the
<link xref="win-main">main window</link>.</p>
