can skip folder checking.
+Basically, you will handle messages in wanderlust while you come and go
+from/to each of the following buffers.
+
+@table @samp
+@item Folder Buffer
+You can see the list of folders. You can select some folder and go into the summary
+of it. You can subscribe new folder or edit subscription list.
+@item Summary Buffer
+You can see the list of messages in the folder. You can select message and view its
+contents, and reply to some message. You can delete ones or move ones to another
+folder.
+@item Message Buffer
+You can see the contents of the message. You can save part to disk or open in external
+programs.
+@item Draft Buffer
+You can edit message.

@chapter Wanderlust's folders
This chapter describes the folder types which Wanderlust is able to handle.
-Wanderlust uses ELMO as it's interface, so every folder types supported
-by ELMO is usable in Wanderlust.
+Wanderlust uses ELMO as it's interface, so you can use every folder types
+supported by ELMO.
As of version @value{VERSION}, 11 types of folders are predefined. These are
IMAP, NNTP, LocalDir(MH), Maildir, News Spool, Archive, POP, Multi, Filter,
$bsd/freebsd;lha -> @file{~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh}
$/foo@@server:~/bar;zoo -> @file{~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo} on ftp server
$d:/msend.tar.gz;tgz;spool -> @file{d:/msend.tar.gz}
+$ml;zip/ -> Access group consists of archive folders
+ under @file{~/Mail/ml}
@end group
@end example

@end example
@samp{user} (plain password transmission) or @samp{apop} (APOP authentication)
as @var{authenticate-type}.
+You can specify @samp{uidl} (use UIDL command for message numbering) or
+@samp{list} (use LIST command for message numbering) as @samp{numbering-method}.
+
default:
@example
@var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-pop3-default-user}.
@code{(user-login-name)}.
@var{authenticate-type} -> The value of @code{elmo-pop3-default-authenticate-type}.
Initial setting is @samp{user}.
+@var{numbering-method} -> Follow the value of @code{elmo-pop3-default-use-uidl}.
+ If t, use UIDL for numbering. Initial setting is t.
@var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-pop3-default-server}.

+@subsubsection Enter space to separate keywords
If you want to use space in folder entry, @kbd{C-q @key{SPC}} will help you.
+@subsubsection Alias name for index
+
+You can define an alias name for index.
+
+Example:
+
+@example
+(setq elmo-nmz-index-alias-alist
+ '(("cache" . "~/.elmo/cache")
+ ("docs" . "~/documents")))
+@end example
+
+Above definition defines two index aliases.
+You can specify
+
+@example
+[wanderlust]cache
+@end example
+
+to execute a namazu search with keyword @samp{wanderlust} using a index in the
+directory @file{~/.elmo/cache}.
+
+@subsubsection Multiple indices
+
+You can specify a list for @code{elmo-nmz-default-index-path} and
+@code{elmo-nmz-index-alias-alist}.
+When list is specified, all index contained in the list is used as the
+namazu indices.
+
+Example:
+
+@example
+(setq elmo-nmz-index-alias-alist
+ '(("all" . ("~/.elmo/cache" "~/documents"))
+ ("cache" . "~/.elmo/cache")))
+@end example
+
+Using above alias setting, you can specify
+
+@example
+[wanderlust]all
+@end example
+
+to execute a namazu search with keyword @samp{wanderlust} using indices in the
+directory @file{~/.elmo/cache} and @file{~/documents}.

+@samp{&username@@popserver} to @samp{+inbox} automatically.
+
+On the other hand, if you put @samp{|:} instead of second @samp{|},
+then messages are copied to the destination folder (not deleted from
+source-folder). At the next time you access that folder, copies new
+messages only.
+
+@example
+@samp{|} @var{source-folder} @samp{|:} @var{destination-folder}
+@end example
+
+If you want to copy messages from POP server and view them, specify the
+folder as follows:
+
+@example

+@end example
+
+where messages will be kept on the server.
Example:
@example
@group
-%inbox|%myinbox -> Download %inbox to %myinbox.
-*&user@@popserver1,&user@@popserver2|+inbox
+|%inbox|%myinbox -> Download %inbox to %myinbox.

+A folder named @samp{'sendlog} is a virtual folder which collects
