Mail Panels
Document Actions
There are three main areas in the email portion of the application.
The message list is where you will find a list of individual emails in the currently selected folder. This is a summary of information about the messages. The number of messages that display will vary depending on the size of your browser and screen. Using the scroll bar located to the right of this panel, you may preview any additional messages.
- Sorting Messages may be sorted by clicking the column headers (such as from, subject, date, etc.). Clicking the column header again will toggle between ascending and descending order.
- Resizing Columns The width of the From, Subject, Date and Size columns in the message list can be resized by dragging the column divider.
- Moving Messages Select the message you would like to move by clicking on the message and then drag it to the folder where you would like to store it. Drop the message by releasing the mouse button.
- Right-click
Right-clicking on an email will allow you to do the following actions:; reply, reply to all, forward, delete, print, create a filter, and mark the message read or unread.
This is where the contents of your selected message will display.
You will find two buttons in the middle right corner of the preview panel. Add Contact button allows you to add the sender of the email as a new contact. The Options button allows you to view some advanced features such as view the source, open the message in another browser window, mark the message unread, and create an email filter. Click the ‘X’ to close the Preview Panel.
This panel gives you the ability to search the content of your messages as well as view and organize your mail folders.
- Search Webmail preview launch brings you the ability to search the "To", "From", "CC" and "Subject" fields, as well as elect to search just the inbox or all of your folders and messages.
- Basic Search Simply click in the search box in the side panel, type your search query and either hit your "enter" key or click the magnifying glass next to the search box.
- Advanced Search If you want to narrow or widen your search, simply click the circle with the cross in it, just to the left of the search box and choose how you would like to search.
- Folders
Your email folders are also in the side panel, located just under the email search bar. You will see four system folders: Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash. You cannot delete these folders. In addition to the system folders, you can organize your email by creating your own folders.
Create New Folders: either right click and choose "New Folder" or click the new folder icon (folder image with +) at the bottom of the side panel.
Deleting Folders: either right click and choose "Delete Folder" or click the delete folder icon (folder image with -) at the bottom of the side panel.
Moving Folders: simply drag and drop that folder into any other folder. The folder you moved is now a subfolder.
