 `Log all events`
   Deactivate this option if you're only interested in logging events having to do with the mail transfer (sending/receiving).
+
+== Start/Quit ==
+Options for actions at start up and termination
+
+=== On program startup ===
+`Load all folders`
+  If you have many voluminous archive folders, you can increase YAM's starting speed by deactivating this option. Furthermore, deactivating this option will save memory, because only the index files of the system folders will be loaded on startup -- the index files of the user-defined folders will be loaded only when they are needed.
+
+`Mark new mail as unread`
+  Switch this option on to mark all new messages as "unread" on startup.
+
+`Delete old mail`
+  In the case that you have defined a maximum age for specific folders, YAM will delete all messages exceeding this age before actually quitting if this option is activated.
+
+`Remove deleted mail`
+  Switch this on to make YAM empty the 'Deleted' folder on startup.
+
+`Check birthdates`
+  Switch this option on to make YAM search the address book on startup for people whose birthday is today.  This way you can send your congratulations at once, in case it's the birthday of one of your pals (or maybe even business partners).  When run from a shell, the NOCHECK switch prevents this check from being done.
+
+`Send mail in outgoing queue`
+  If this option is activated, YAM will search the Outgoing folder for messages to send on startup and ask you if you'd like to send them.  Please note that this will work only if a TCP/IP stack has been loaded previously.  You can temporarily stop YAM from doing so by starting YAM from a shell with the NOCHECK switch.
+
+`Download new mail`
+  If this option is activated (and there's already a TCP/IP stack running on your system), YAM will check the mail server for new messages on startup.  You can temporarily stop YAM from doing so by starting YAM from a shell with the NOCHECK switch.
+
+=== On program termination ===
+`Send mail in outgoing queue`
+  Activate this option to make YAM look for ready to send messages in the Outgoing folder before actually ending the program.  If it's activated, YAM will ask you if you'd like to send those messages before quitting.  (Of course it will do so only if there are actually any messages in the Outgoing folder.)
+
+`Delete old mail`
+  In the case that you have defined a maximum age for specific folders, YAM will delete all messages exceeding this age before actually quitting if this option is activated.
+
+`Remove deleted mail`
+  Switch this on to make YAM empty the 'Deleted' folder when closing down.
