5.2. Displaying email messages

By default, the content of the inbox is displayed. Other E-Mail folders can be opened from within the folder tree. 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. If browsing to the bottom of the list, the next part will be loaded.

How to display an email:

  1. Open an email folder in the folder tree.

  2. In order to quickly find a particular email, use one of the following methods:

    • To find E-Mail messages by entering a search term, use the search function.

    • To sort the E-Mail list, click on Sort by above the list. Select a sort criterion from the menu.

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

  4. Click an E-Mail in the list. The content of the E-Mail will be displayed in the detail view. If the E-Mail is part of a conversation, all E-Mail messages in the conversation are displayed one below the other.

    If you selected List from the View drop-down in the tool bar, the list is replaced by the detail view of the selected E-Mail. In this case the following functions are available above the detail view.

    • To open the list again, click on the button or the Back icon.

    • To display the next E-Mail, click the View next icon.

    • To display the previous E-Mail, click the View previous icon.

    When having selected Vertical or Compact from the View drop-down in the tool bar, you can open an E-Mail in a separate window by double-clicking on the E-Mail in the list.

  5. If a conversation is displayed, you can open or close an individual E-Mail in the detail view by clicking on a free area between the sender and the date of receipt.

    To open or close all E-Mail messages in the conversation, click the Open/close all messages icon on the top right corner of the detail view.

  6. If the E-Mail includes a quote from a previous E-Mail, you can display the quote by clicking the Show quoted text icon .
