List of Mails

The list of mails contained in any folder of the mailbox is displayed in the main part of the "E-Mail" tab. The subject, address (sender address for the incoming mails and recipient address for the outgoing mails) and the receiving/sending date are given in the corresponding columns.

List of mails

The following matters will be considered in this section: common actions with mails, manipulations with mail branches and working with mail groups.

When a new mail comes the corresponding notification triggers, and the number of new unread messages appears to the right of the "Inbox" folder. The subject of an unread mail is bold in the list. The mail of this kind has the Unread mail icon.

Searching Messages

The search line is used for finding messages.

  • If you specify an e-mail identifier with the "#" symbol before it in the search line (for example, #1234), then after you press the Search  button, you will go to viewing of the found message. One can search messages in this way only while being in the "E-Mail" module.
  • If you don't specify the "#" symbol in the beginning of the search request, the search will be performed using the global search system of TeamWox.

close_button Close

Using this button which appears as you put the mouse cursor over a message, one can move it to the "Closed" filter. Ideologically, a completed mail exchange should be closed just like a finished task, when there is no need to get back to it anymore. The correspondence will not be lost, while being separated from the actual mails.

When a new message comes in a mail branch, that branch is automatically moved back to the "Inbox" filter.

Move to trash Move to Trash

If this button is pressed the message will be moved to the "Trash" filter.

All mails that are in the "Trash" filter are automatically deleted after a lapse of seven days they were moved there. The deletion is performed at night at the service time.

In the "Trash" filter, the Move to trash button is replaced with Delete. If you press it, the box asking: "Do you want to delete the e-mail?" appears. If you want to delete the e-mail, press "OK".

In order to restore the e-mail from the "Trash" filter, you should just pull it over to the "Inbox" folder (Drag'n'Drop) as it is described below.

spam_button Spam

This button moves a message to the "Spam" folder. The instructions how to work with spam are given at the separate section.

Organization binding

If a message is manually or automatically bound to an organization its name will be displayed in the "Address" field. If you press on it, you will go to viewing of organization in the corresponding module.

The automatic binding of messages to organizations by e-mail address functions in the TeamWox system.

Checking new messages

In order to receive your e-mails, press the "Receive e-mails" button located to the left of the "New e-mail" button.

The adaptive mechanism of automatic checks of new messages is implemented in the "E-Mail" module. The minimum interval between checks (2 minutes) is kept while a least one new message is received within it. Otherwise the interval is increased to 4 minutes, then to 6 minutes, etc. The maximum interval between the checks is 20 minutes.

Mail Chains

There is the term of 'mail chains' in TeamWox. This means that it is possible group e-mails into thematic chains, for example, a branch of mails sent by one sender. The "clipboard" (exchange buffer) located under the New Mailbox New mailbox button is intended for this purpose. To add an e-mail to a chain, you should pull over the necessary one to the clipboard. Then you should pull it over to the necessary chain (or an individual mail) in the list (Drag'n'Drop):

Clipboard

The number of e-mails in the branch is shown to the right of the mail subject.

To make work easier, mail branches can be renamed ,ed easier Для облегчения работы ветки писем могут быть переименованы. Чтобы переименовать ветку, необходимо открыть ее и щелкнуть левой кнопкой мыши на заголовке:
