The Message Grid


This page describes how to use the Message Grid

  

 
To view or do anything (like copy to folder, encrypt etc..) to an Email you must first select it in the message grid (you can select multiple Emails by using the shift and control keys with the mouse).

You can always right click with the mouse on the message grid to bring up a menu to select various functions from.

 

The unread.gif (154 bytes) symbol beside an Email indicates that it has not yet been read.

The attach.gif (112 bytes) symbol beside an Email indicates that it has one or more files attached to it.

 

At the top left of the grid you will notice 5 buttons, these help you navigate around your Emails quickly.
 

The blueup.gif (181 bytes) button moves to the first email in the current folder.

The bluedown.gif (181 bytes) button moves to the last email in the current folder.

The greenup.gif (182 bytes) button minimises the grid, the grid will not be visible except for the caption part of it (where the current folder name is displayed)

The greendown.gif (182 bytes) button makes the grid go down to the bottom of the main window, this maximises the grid.

The greenmid.gif (186 bytes) button makes the grid cover half of the main window.

As well as using the green arrows to size the grid you can use the vertical split and the horizontal split to resize the grid and lots of other controls on the main window. The two splits are the two grey bars that are horizontal and vertical dividers on the main window. Just move the mouse onto them and hold down the left button, now you can resize the main window to your liking.

 

If you double click with the mouse on the message grid you will be able to view the selected Email in a separate window.

 

If an email is encrypted then the left hand side of the emails row will be coloured yellow to alert you to this fact.
