Using adesklets.
Hello first of all,
I am quite new to the world of Linux and am currently using
Ubuntu (Dapper, 6.06).
For a while I was using gDesklets, but adesklets look much
more visually appealing to me so I thought I would give them
a try.
I installed adesklets through the Ubuntu repository (using
synaptics package manager) and then downloaded the mailer
desklet using the built in desklet installation feature that
I found out about in the documentation here.
However I am not sure how to launch the mailer desklet. I did
try entering 'adesklets' in the terminal but nothing
happens.
Also, when I installed the mailer desklet I was not asked
whether I want to install or register it (according to my
limited understanding this is supposed to happen?).
I would really appreciate some step by step help for a newbie
to understand, doing my best not to ask old questions, but I
did search the forum and am none of the wiser
unfortunately.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
PartisanEntity,
here is a short step-by-step guide on how to use adesklets
under Ubuntu Dapper:
In my opinion, it does address your interrogations. My
only additional advice would be to always test a desklet
before registering it: it is especially true for mailer,
since setting up the configuration is a lot easier with
interactive feedback from the desklet (which you only get in
test mode). Yours,
