357 <para>There are two methods you can use to install the
358 <application>Enigmail</application> extension. Both are shown here and
359 provide similar functionality with one major difference. The first
360 method will install the extension system-wide and all users of SeaMonkey
361 will have an Enigmail-enabled mail client. The method shown later only
362 installs it on a per-user basis. The first method must be accomplished
363 now (before the object directory is removed) and uses the conventional
364 <command>make install</command> command to install the
365 <application>Enigmail</application> files straight from the distribution
366 directory of the object directory. The alternate method is shown as it
367 installs using the <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file
368 created earlier and can be done later (at any time you desire) as the
369 file used to install <application>Enigmail</application> was copied into
370 <filename
371 class='directory'>/usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;/xpi_store</filename>
372 in the previous step. This method can be used to install any
373 downloaded <application>Mozilla</application> extension distributed in a
374 <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file. There are many
375 extensions available for <application>SeaMonkey</application>. A list
376 containing many of them can be found at
377 <ulink url="http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/"/>.</para>
378
379 <para>If you want to install the <application>Enigmail</application>
380 extension now, which offers system-wide access, issue the following
381 commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
382
383<screen role="root"><userinput>make -C ../seamonkey-build/mailnews/extensions/enigmail install</userinput></screen>
384
385 <para>To install an extension from a created or download
386 <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file, you simply need to
387 <quote>open</quote> the <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file
388 using the <quote>Open File</quote> option of the <quote>File</quote>
389 menu of the browser window. You can browse to find the file (for example,
390 the <application>Enigmail</application>

530 plugin directory
531 <filename class='directory'>/usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;/plugins</filename>
532 to the files in the default plugin directory (you should link to the actual
533 files and not other links). Alternatively, you can move or copy the files
534 in the default plugin directory to the
535 <application>SeaMonkey</application> plugin directory. An example of creating
536 a symbolic link is shown below. Create the links as the

542 <para>Along with using the <quote>Preferences</quote> menu to configure
543 <application>SeaMonkey</application>'s options and preferences to suit
544 individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available
545 using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this
546 tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter
547 <systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the
548 address bar. This will display a list of the configuration preferences and
549 information related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar
550 to enter search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a
551 preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a
552 boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle
553 the value and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired
554 line, choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value.
555 Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except
556 choose <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into
557 the fields when prompted.</para>

559 <tip>
560 <para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to
