Add selected or "From" address to Address Book. If you have selected an
address within any part of the page, the selected address will be parsed for
any Name and Email information. If there is no selected text, the "From"
address will be parsed for Name and Email informaiton. An Add Contact
window will then be opened for you to complete the contact information.
[Note: You can specify a Group name BUT this form can not verify that the
Group exists in your Address Book. An invalid Group name does not cause a
problem in the Address Book.] Selecting "Add" will open up the Address Book
in a new window and submit the contact information to be added. You can close
the Address Book window when done. (Selected text does not work for Opera)
|
| | |
Add selected or "From" address/domain to the Junk Mail Whitelist. You
can select an address/domain within any part of the page (Selected text
does not work for Opera). If there is no selected text, the "From"
address will be used. You will be prompt with the address/domain before
adding to allow you to edit the address/domain or cancel. Selecting "OK"
will begin the process to add the address/domain to the Whitelist. Because
the Whitelist is maintained through the Runbox Filters/Rules page, obtaining
the current list may take a little time while the page loads (especially if
you have many filters). A "Please Wait" window will be displayed during this
time. Once the current Whitelist is obtained, the address/domain is checked.
If the address is already in the list or if there are other problems detected,
an error prompt indicating the problem will be displayed and the adding
will be cancelled. If everything is OK, the address/domain is inserted
into the Whitelist and the new list is submitted to the Runbox Mail
Manager. At this point you will get a prompt box indicating that the
address/domain has been added to the Whitelist.

| - | Compose | | |
| | |
Opens up a new window with a list of all the "From" Name/Addresses
listed in the drop down menu (NOTE: If it's not in the drop down menu it
won't be here either. Currenlty, preferences with a blank From eMail do
not appear in the drop down menu). While the drop down menu only shows
the From Name and From eMail, this list will show the From Name, From
eMail and Reply-To eMail. You can scroll through the list and pick the
one you want by seleting the [>] button on the left or clicking on any
text within that row. Duplicate entries are also removed from this list
(NOTE: duplicates are only removed if they are completely identical,
including case and spaces).
In addition, you can manually enter your own "From/Reply-To" at the top of
the list in the line marked with the [+] button. The default values will
be the currently selected "From Name", "From eMail" and "Reply-To eMail".
When you click the [+] button, the new "From/Reply-To" will be inserted at
the end of the "From" drop down menu and automatically selected.
|
| | |
Opens up a new window with a list of all the Group/Nicknames. Each name
has a checkbox for 'To', 'Cc' and 'Bcc', allowing you to insert it into
any or all of these fields in the compose message. You can check as many
as you need. Upon pressing the 'Insert' button, the names will be inserted
into the selected fields and the list window is closed. This list is only
for inserting, not editing, so it does not know what Group/Nicknames already
appear in the fields.

verify that the Group exists in your Address Book. An invalid Group name
does not cause a problem in the Address Book.] Selecting "Add" will open
up the Address Book in a new window and submit the contact information to

What does it work with?
I've done most of my testing using Mozilla 1.5a, Mozilla Firebird 0.6,
IE 5.5 and Opera 7.11 running under Windows 2000 and Windows 98.
How do I install it?
The link near the top of this page called "Runbox Toolbar 2" is the
bookmarklet to launch the toolbar. To save a bookmarklet, right click
on the bookmarklet link and choose the item to add a bookmark (will
usually say bookmarks or favorites). Or, drag the bookmarklet link to
your bookmark toolbar.
How does it work?
By clicking on the "Runbox Toolbar 2" bookmarklet, you launch the toolbar.
The toolbar can only be launched from a Runbox domain (e.g. runbox.com,
fast.runbox.com, runbox.no). The bookmarlet "instructs" the toolbar
window to load the toolbar content from a javascript file. This approach
allows the bookmarklet to be small in size (so it should even work with
IE 6).
The toolbar "attaches" to the window where it is opened (if you
like have multiple Runbox windows active, each window can have it's own
toolbar). It will then begin monitoring the page location being viewed
in this Runbox Window. The page location is checked once every 1/2 second.
A "Polling Status" indicator (a radio button), near the end of the toolbar,
will toggle on and off every second to show that the Runbox Window
is being monitored.
If the Runbox Window is closed or the page location leaves the Runbox
domain, the toolbar will automatically close. If the toolbar's
Message Window is open, it will also be closed.
The toolbar stores the preferences as a cookie for the specific
Runbox domain (e.g. www.runbox.com, fast.runbox.com, runbox.no, runbox.com)
so it can remember your preferences. The cookie is refreshed each time
you load the toolbar or change preferences. The cookie will expire after
one year (365 days) from last refresh.
Due to javascript security restrictions, the javascript file can not
reside on your harddrive and has to be loaded over the internet. This
bookmarklet will load the following remote javascript file:
http://geocities.com/myrunbox/Runbar2.txt
This remote javascript has an extension of "txt" instead of the more
common "js" extension because Yahoo! Geocities automatically inserts it's
own "HTML stuff" into "htm", "html" and "js" files (maybe others too)
that will mess up the javascript. It leaves "txt" files "as is" so this
extension was used instead.
If you don't like loading the toolbar from Yahoo! Geocities, you can
put a copy of the Runbar.txt file on any other web site and load it
from there. You just need to change the path in the "Runbox Toolbar"
bookmarklet to the new location of the javascript file. However,
you won't always have the most current version of the toolbar.
