16. Menus

VM uses Emacs’ menu bar and pop-up menus when they are available to give you access to more of VM’s commands. By default VM puts a context sensitive pop-up menu on mouse button 3 (usually the rightmost mouse button). If you don’t want this menu, set the variable vm-popup-menu-on-mouse-3 to nil.

If you set vm-use-menus to nil, VM will not generate a menu bar for VM folder buffers and VM won’t use pop-up menus either. If you set vm-use-menus to ‘1’, VM will add a single ‘VM’ entry to the existing menu bar instead of using the whole menu bar for its purposes. That single entry will have all the VM command submenus under it.

To make VM use the whole menu bar, you must set variable vm-use-menus to a list of symbols. The symbols and the order in which they are listed determine which menus will be in the menu bar and how they are ordered. Valid symbol values are:

dispose

This is menu of commands that are commonly used to dispose of a message. E.g. reply, print, save, delete.

emacs

This is actually a menu button that causes the menu bar to change to the global Emacs menu bar. On that menu bar you will find a VM button that will return you to the VM menu bar.

folder

This is a menu of folder related commands. You can visit a folder, save a folder, quit a folder and so on.

help

This is a menu of commands that provide information for you if you don’t know what to do next.

label

This is a menu of commands that let you add and remove message labels from messages.

mark

This is a menu of commands that you can use to mark and unmark messages based on various criteria. See section Marking Messages.

motion

This is a menu of commands to move around inside messages and inside folders.

send

This is a menu of commands you use to compose and send messages.

sort

This is a menu of commands to sort a folder by various criteria.

undo

This is a menu button that invokes the vm-undo command.

virtual

This is a menu of commands that let you visit and create virtual folders.

nil

If nil appears in the list, it should appear exactly once. All menus after nil in the list will be displayed flushright in the menu bar.
