Read Mail View

When you enter Mail Mode for the first time, the Read Mail View is displayed. The Read Mail View consists of three windows: a Mail window, a Message window and a Folder window. The Mail window is the uppermost window in the Read Mail View. By default, it displays mail messages in date order by showing the date, time and subject text of the message along with the sender of the message on a single line.

You can change the order in which OfficeTalk displays mail messages by clicking on the relevant header at the top of the list. For example, if you wish to order the messages by sender, then single click on the Sender header. For more information about sorting fields, see Sorting and Grouping Mail later in this chapter.

You can change which columns OfficeTalk displays in the Mail Window. Do this by positioning the cursor over the list header, pressing the right mouse button and selecting Columns from the context sensitive menu. For more information on selecting columns, see Choosing Which Columns To Display later in this chapter.

The Folder window contains two default folders. These are the Incoming Mail and the Sent Mail folders. You may add additional public or personal mail folders. For more information on folders see Mail Folders.

The Message window is located beneath the Mail window. It displays the body of any mail message that you select in the Mail window. The Message window is capable of displaying either plain text or rich text mail messages.
