Mail tab

The Mail tab within VPOP3 webmail enables you to manage your sent and received messages.

As you can see from the screenshot, the page is divided into three main sections:

The Mail toolbar contains the following buttons:

• Reply → Launch a tab to compose a reply to the selected message
• Reply All → Launch a tab to compose a reply to all recipients and the sender of the selected message
• Forward → Launch a tab to forward the selected message
• Resend → Launch a tab to resend a verbatim copy of the selected message
• Edit Draft → Launch a tab to resume editing the selected draft message. Displayed in place of Resend
• Delete → Delete the selected message(s) - Send to Deleted Items / permanently delete from Deleted Items folder
• Mark As Spam → Quarantine the selected message
• Download → Version 5+ - Downloads a .eml format copy of the email to the user's web browser
• Open → Version 5+ - Launch a tab to view the message in 'fullscreen'
• Refresh → Refresh the Mail tab - check for any changes, i.e. any new messages, any messages/folders that have been affected by another user or email client.
• Search → Perform a keyword search to filter the displayed messages

The left panel forms a tree structure to display the various mail folders. Subfolders are stored within branches. Any branch of the tree can be opened/closed by pressing the +/- icons next to the parent folder.

The top-right panel is a grid containing fields: From, Subject, Date, read, flagged, with attachments, Size. By default, 50 messages are displayed at a time, with page navigation options made available once enough messages are present.

The bottom-right panel displays the currently selected message. It contains a header bar, which provides the most commonly required header information: Subject, From, To, Date. An Options button enables you to:

• Show Headers → Launch a dialogue box with the full message headers
• Print Message → Output a printer-friendly display of the message and launch the printer options dialogue

Underneath, the message appears, with vertical and horizontal scrollbars, if required. Further boxes may appear if:

• The message has attachments
• Images have been blocked
