<section name="DavMail Setup on linux">
<p>Prerequisite : Sun J2SE 1.5 or 1.6. Tray icon is now implemented with SWT and compatible with
Java 1.5. You may use DavMail with an older version, but the gateway will run as a
command line application.
</p>
<p>You should first download and install Java, e.g. by running the following command on
Ubuntu :
</p>
<code>sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin</code>
<p>Download the linux x86 DavMail package from Sourceforge and uncompress it with
your favorite tool. The standard package will run natively on x86, to use DavMail
on any other hardware platform, replace the SWT with the right one from
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/swt/">http://www.eclipse.org/swt/</a>
or use the platform independent package. Sorry, no deb or rpm package yet !
</p>
<p>On Ubuntu and other Gnome or Kde distributions, just use the desktop launcher.
On other distributions, try
<code>davmail.sh</code>.
You should now see the DavMail gateway icon in the tray :
</p>

<p>Adjust DavMail settings :
