Reading e-mail

The e-mail module makes it is possible to read and compose your e-mail messages anywhere. It's also possible to configure multiple e-mail accounts.
To start the e-mail module, click the e-mail button at the bottom of the screen.

At the left-hand side of the screen there is a tree structure with your account and folders. By default your e-mail account contains an ‘Inbox’, ‘Sent Items’, ‘Drafts’, ‘Trash’ and a ‘Spam’ folder. Inbox contains all the incoming e-mails. Sent Items contains all sent items, Concepts all saved concepts, Trash all deleted items and the Spam box contains all e-mail that has been classified as spam. Note that Group-Office doesn't classify e-mail as spam. An external spam filter should do this folder and you should create a filter to filter the messages to the spam folder.

The larger part of the screen on the right-hand side shows the e-mail messages that are currently in the folder. If you receive an e-mail that is still unread, it will appear in bold text.

When clicking on an e-mail just once, the content is displayed just under the list. When double clicking an e-mail message, it will open full screen. To move multiple e-mails to another folder or to mark them as unread, read, flagged or un-flagged select the e-mails using the CTRL and Shift keys.

If you receive a new e-mail a sound will play and the number of unread e-mail messages is always displayed in the top right corner. By clicking on that icon you go to the e-mail module to read your new e-mail messages. New e-mail messages are usually marked with bold text but this can be different per theme.

The preview pane and the automatic e-mail check can be disabled at:
