The E-Mail Components

5.1.6. The E-Mail list

Displays a list of the E-Mail messages in the current folder. If you use categories, the E-Mail messages of the selected category are displayed in the inbox.

Content

  • The following details are displayed for each E-Mail: sender, subject, date or time of the receipt or the E-Mail's size. Unread E-Mail messages are marked with the Unread icon .

  • If available, additional information is shown: attachment icons, coloured label, flag, number of E-Mail messages in the conversation, priority.

  • Encrypted E-Mail messages are marked with the Encrypted icon . Information on encryption can be found in the Guard user guide.

Functions

  • To display a sender's E-Mail address instead of the sender name, hover over the sender name. The original E-Mail address is displayed in a tooltip.

  • To select multiple E-Mail messages, enable the Checkboxes option in the View drop-down in the tool bar.

    You can also use your system's multi-selection functions.

  • In order to select all visible E-Mail messages in the folder, enable the Select all checkbox above the list.

    Note: The Select all checkbox only selects all visible E-Mail messages in a folder. To reduce latency, only a certain percentage of the E-Mail messages in a folder will be loaded by the server if their number exceeds a defined limit. To display all E-Mail messages in a folder, browse to the bottom of the list. Wait until all E-Mail messages have been loaded by the server.

  • If clicking on the Sort by button above the list, a menu opens that helps you sort your E-Mail messages.

    To combine all E-Mail messages of a conversation in a single list entry, enable the Conversations checkbox in Sort by.

    The sorting setting will be applied to the selected E-Mail folder. You can use different settings for the individual folders.

  • If clicking on an E-Mail, its content is displayed in the display area.

  • To adjust the list width, hover over the line between the list and the detail view. Drag the border to the left or to the right.
