Email Context Menu

If you right-click on an email, the email context menu will be displayed. You will be offered a list of several straight forward actions that are possible to execute with an email.

Download Selected option downloads the whole email, including embedded content and attachments, for the purpose of off-line working.

To open a message, double-click on it in the message list: the following window will pop up:

Below the section that contains the fields Subject: From: etc. you can see the attachment bar. On this bar, all the attachments enclosed to the email can easily be accessed. To open/save the file, just double click it and select from the dialog window.

If you receive an e-mail that contains pictures that are online, these will be initially blocked by the application, as a measure of security (to download the pictures, your computer needs to access the server, which is an ideal situation for any evil scripts that are waiting to gather your personal information. However, if you trust the webpage, you can easily un-block the content by clicking the appropriate button.

Default action for attachments

Attachment options

You can also adjust the actions that you would like to implement with different types of files while downloading attachments to your computer. For example when you receive a picture (e.g.. .jpg) as an attachment and you click on the file, you will be asked whether you want to save or open it. Notice the checkbox which says "Do not ask me again for the attachments with the same extension" If you check this box and then click on one of the actions (Open/ Save) the action you choose will be remembered for every.jpg file you receive in future without asking.

If you want to cancel the action that you established for a specific attachment file type, then go to Menu - Settings - Mail - Attachments and just click on the cross button (on the right) and the default action will be canceled.

Auto-resize

If you receive an image attached to your email it will be automatically displayed in the bottom of the email preview. There is a smart utility that automatically and simultaneously resizes the attached image as you resize the window of the email preview. If you want to display the image in its original size but still keep the email preview window arbitrarily resized, hover onto the preview , then click on the arrow symbol in the left upper corner of the image.
