The user preferences let you adjust various options and settings that control the behaviour and the UI of the webmail application. The numerous settings are grouped by the following sections:
Note: After changing preferences, don’t forget to save them by clicking the Save button below the settings form.
Some folders have special purposes and are used by system processes to store messages. This form allows you to choose which folders are used to store Drafts, Sent or deleted messages (Trash).
When hitting the Archive button in the email view, the selected messages are moved to this folder.
This option allows you to organize your archive folder in various ways. The selected message(s) can be filed into sub-folders of the archive according the sent date, the sender’s email address or the folder the message is moved from.
When set to None, all messages will be stored in the Archive folder without any sub-folders being created.
This section provides more advanced settings that control how messages are treated by the email server.
If you’ve ever received an email from someone, you’ve seen an email signature. It’s the last lines of text at the end of a message reminding you of the sender and includes their contact information.
Its common practice in the digital space, and most users expect to see it. Furthermore, it helps humanize the sender and, depending on the creativity of the signature, will give you another element to remember them by. It also allows the sender to promote their social media accounts, product, or website in the hopes of securing your business.
How to add an email Signature
An autoresponder replies automatically when a specific email address receives an email. This is great to use when notifying customers you have received their email, and they will get a response in a pre-determined time frame. It is also helpful when you are out of the office (such as on holiday), since you can easily let people who contact you know you are currently away and will respond to their request when you return.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Character Set | The standard Character set is “utf-8,” but you can change it here. |
Interval | Here, you can set how many hours to wait before autoresponding to the same email address. |
This will list the email address you are setting up the autoresponder for. | |
From | You can enter a “From” address here. I recommend using the same address as the Email field. |
Subject | Enter a subject line here. For example: “We are currently closed” |
HTML | Check this if you want to enter HTML into the “Body” of your email. |
Body | Enter your Autoresponder message here. |
Start | Choose if you want this autoresponder to begin Immediately or set a Custom start time. |
Stop | Here you can set a Custom date for your Autoresponder to stop responding, or set to Never |
If you have multiple email addresses for your business, it’s a good practice to forward all email messages to one account. So if you have sales@example.com, service@example.com, and support@example.com email addresses, all of them can be sent to one account such as customers@example.com. Setting up email forwarders can be done through your Webmail login page.
Setting up mail filters is an efficient way to manage your emails. Email filters are used to create rules for how incoming emails should be processed. They are mostly used to block emails from a specific email address or to weed out spam.
Email filters use the criteria that you specify to determine how to handle email messages. Emails can be discarded, redirected to another email address, or filed to a folder, or more.
The following comparison operators are available:
Each rule has criteria and an operator describing how to compare them to a message.
As an example (see picture below), we’ve created a rule where all emails that will contain a word newsletter in the email subject, will be moved to our SPAM folder.
Please note that you can create multiple rules and actions in one filter.
Just use + buttons, to add a new rule or action.
Do not forget to chose desired operator (or, and).
You just want to run a website and make the most of your business’s email address, but managing spam is starting to feel like a full-time job. Sound familiar? It seems that no matter what we try, the world’s ‘spam artists’ find new ways to annoy us. That’s why all our emails come pre-installed with Spam Filters powered by Apache SpamAssassin, one of the most powerful open-source email filtering systems available.
SpamAssassin uses a points-based system called “hits” to label spam. When it finds particular characteristics in an email, it assigns a point value. These ‘characteristics’ can include everything from words and topics commonly found in spam emails, to malicious code, and even custom values you set yourself. If the email exceeds the maximum point value you set, the email is flagged as spam.
The lower the score you set, the more email will be caught as spam. For example, a setting of 1 means that only one hit needs to be flagged against an email for it to be considered spam. If you set the score higher, more hits will be required on an email for it to be labelled as spam. So, the lower the score, the more emails should be flagged as spam.
Note: See this guide: How to manage your Address Book
You can also Cc (copy) or Bcc (blind carbon copy) your message, just click icon.
Enter the email subject. Then, enter your message.
Click Send button, to send your message.
Optionally you can:
You can double-click a message to open it in full-screen window.
Otherwise, clicking the file name will initiate the download process and a dialogue will most likely appear, asking you where to save the file. If that doesn’t happen, check the default “Downloads” folder on your computer for the attachment file.
On the left side, you see a hierarchical list of all folders in your mailbox. Folders can be used to file email messages by topic, sender, or whatever you choose for organization.
Incoming messages usually appear in the Inbox folder, which is the first item in the folder list. There are some special folders which are used by the system to store sent (Sent) or deleted (Trash) messages and where not-yet-sent message drafts (Drafts) are saved. These system folders are indicated with special icons.
The number of unread messages in each folder is displayed at the right border of the folder list.
Click a folder in the list to show the contained messages in the message list on the right. The currently selected folder is highlighted in the list.
Folders with hidden subfolders are indicated with a small arrow icon, which can be clicked to expand or collapse the folder tree.
You can organize your email messages into folders.
Please see this guide to create extra folders: Mailbox Folders
Some folders have a special meaning and are used by the system to place messages in.
These special folders are indicated with an individual icon in the list and usually cannot be deleted or renamed.
Filing messages to specific folders is as simple as dragging a message from the list with the mouse and dropping it on the folder you want it moved to. That also works with multiple messages selected.
If the target folder is a subfolder and not currently visible, just hold the mouse over the parent folder while dragging, and it’ll expand automatically after two seconds. Move the mouse (while dragging) over the folder list footer to let it scroll until the target folder moves into sight.
For searching email messages, first select the folder you want to search in the Mailbox folders list on the left. Then enter the search term into the search box above the message list, and press Enter on your keyboard to start the search. Search results will be displayed in the message list.
Reset the search by clicking the Reset search x icon on the right border of the search box.
Switching to another folder will also reset the search and clear the search box.
The common exchange formats for email are MIME (.eml) and Mbox (.mbox) which are both supported for import.
One or multiple files with either MIME or Mbox data can be uploaded to add email messages to the currently selected folder:
