This is preliminary documentation for POP Peeper v6.0

Account groups allow you to combine accounts into groups for better management. There is no limit to the number of groups and an account can belong to multiple groups.

The name of each group will be added into the "View Accounts" dropdown selection box (usually above the Message List). When you select a group from the dropdown, only the accounts that belong to that group will be listed in the Message List. Also, the Accounts List will be modified so that the member accounts will be shown at the top of the list; other accounts will be listed in a separate collapsible group.

If a new message arrives for a non-member account of the group you're currently viewing, the new message will be displayed in the Message List. A new collapsible group (labeled "New") containing that account will be added to the Accounts List for better visibility.

Special Group name -- If you create a group named "Default" (or the equivalent in your language), then this group will be viewed by default when POP Peeper starts instead of *All Accounts*.

There are several ways to modify accounts' groups:

• Main menu: Accounts / Manage account groups -- This window allows you to access two different modes. You can either view a single group and enable/disable which accounts belong to that group; or you can view a single account and enable/disable which groups the account belongs to.
• Right-click on the account in the Accounts List and access the "Groups" popout menu; this allows you to easily add or remove a single group for the selected account(s).
• Edit the account, select the "Advanced 2" page and modify the group names; you must first enable "Advanced Options" under the main menu: Tools / Options / General

Advanced: The order of the groups listed in the "View Accounts" dropdown is determined by the order that each group initially appears in the Accounts' Advanced2 page (as per the order of the Accounts in the Accounts list). e.g. if you edit the first account in the list, the first group listed will be the first group listed in the dropdown; the second group will be displayed second, etc. If the second account has two groups and the first group was already used by the first account, it will be ignored; if the second group is new, it will be the third group listed in the dropdown. And so on and so forth. Therefore, you can manipulate the order that the groups appear in the dropdown by re-arranging the order that they initially appear in the Edit-Account settings.
