+<para
+>This is a short introduction to &kmail; and its usage so you can start working with it right away. For more in-depth information see the <link linkend="using-kmail"
+>Using &kmail;</link
+> section. Note that &kmail;'s installation is described in <link linkend="installation"
+>the appendix</link
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>Invoking &kmail; for the first time creates a folder called <filename class="directory"
+>Mail</filename
+> in your home folder. This folder contains the initial folders (<filename class="directory"
+>inbox</filename
+>, <filename class="directory"
+>outbox</filename
+>, <filename class="directory"
+>sent-mail</filename
+>, <filename class="directory"
+>wastebin</filename
+> and <filename class="directory"
+>drafts</filename
+>). Use <menuchoice
+> <guimenu
+>Settings</guimenu
+> <guimenuitem
+>Configure &kmail;...</guimenuitem
+> </menuchoice
+> to enter some initial information so &kmail; will be able to properly retrieve and send your messages.</para>
+
+<para
+>The Configure window consists of six sections: <guilabel
+>Identities</guilabel
+>, <guilabel
+>Network</guilabel
+>, <guilabel
+>Appearance</guilabel
+>, <guilabel
+>Composer</guilabel
+>, <guilabel
+>Security</guilabel
+> and <guilabel
+>Misc</guilabel
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>To begin sending and receiving messages you will only have to change some settings in the <guilabel
+>Identities</guilabel
+> and <guilabel
+>Network</guilabel
+> pages.</para>

+    <title
+>Setting your Identity </title>
+
+    <para
+>The settings in the <guilabel
+>Identities</guilabel
+> page are fairly straightforward. Select your default identity and click <guibutton
+>Modify</guibutton
+>. Fill in the <guilabel
+>Your name</guilabel
+> field with your full name (&eg; <userinput
+>John Doe</userinput
+>) and the <guilabel

+<para
+>The <guilabel
+>Network</guilabel
+> page contains the settings that tell &kmail; how to send and receive your email messages. Many of these settings can vary greatly depending on the setup of your system and on the kind of network that your mail server is located in. If you do not know what setting to choose or what to put in a field, consult your Internet Service Provider (<acronym
+>ISP</acronym

+<title
+>Sending Messages</title>
+
+<para
+>The <guilabel
+>Sending</guilabel
+> tab provides a list of ways to send messages. The first item in the list is the default way to send messages. Using the <guibutton
+>Add...</guibutton
+> button you can choose between two different ways of sending messages: <guilabel
+>SMTP</guilabel
+> and <guilabel
+>Sendmail</guilabel
+>. &Sendmail; here means a local software installation -- this has a reputation of being difficult to set up, so if you do not already have a working &Sendmail; configuration, choose <guilabel
+>SMTP</guilabel
+> and fill in the <guilabel
+>Name</guilabel
+> field with a descriptive name (&eg; <userinput
+>My Mail Account</userinput
+>) and the <guilabel
+>Host</guilabel
+> field with the name and domain of your mail server (&eg; <userinput
+>smtp.provider.com</userinput
+>). You will probably not need to change the <guilabel
+>Port</guilabel
+> setting (the default is <userinput
+>25</userinput
+>).</para>
+
+<!-- TODO: more specific link -->
+<para
+>If you do want to use &Sendmail; and you are using a dial-up connection, follow the instructions for setting up sendmail for a dial-up connection in the <link linkend="faq"
+>&FAQ;</link
+> section.</para>
+
+<para
+>The way of sending messages configured here will be used for your default identity and for all other identities that have no own way of sending messages. You can use different ways of sending messages for different identities by selecting the <guilabel

+>Advanced</guilabel
+> tab of the <guilabel
