MDaemon Webmail - User Help

The first page displayed after you sign in to Webmail is the Message List (or the Summary page that includes the Message List, when using the LookOut theme). All messages contained in your Inbox are listed in sortable columns in the Message List. You can sort by: Subject, From (Sender), Date, Size, and more. From here you can mark messages as read or unread, delete messages, move or copy them to another folder, mark them as spam or non-spam, or open one of them in the Message View.

Multiple Pages

The number of messages per page that will be displayed in the Message List is determined by the List Messages Per Page option located on the Personalize page under Options. When the displayed folder contains more messages than can be displayed on a single page, the Message List will contain multiple pages and provide a tool for switching between them. This paging tool is located beneath the Message List and contains four icons. Click the left icon to switch to the first page in the list. Click the right icon to switch to the last page. Click the left or right arrows to switch to the previous or next page respectively. In some themes the tool also contains a text box. If you wish to switch to a specific page then type the page number in the text box and press the Enter key.

Message List Layout

In the Pro or WorldClient theme, click View Options ˅ on the toolbar to open a menu with various options for customizing the layout of your Message List. On that menu, click view flagged, view unread, view snoozed, or view all to filter the Message List to display only the messages that match the selected state (e.g. click view unread to display only unread messages). The view menu also contains options for Sorting the Message List (see below) and for choosing the location of the Message Preview window. In the Pro theme, the Message Preview options are under the view menu's Message List Layout option. That menu also contains options for customizing how must space there is between rows (i.e. Message List Density), an option to Always display messages in multi-line format, and options to underline the From address and italicize the To address, to make it easier to differentiate between them.

Sorting the Message List

You can sort the Message List by Subject, From (Sender), Date, Size, or Flag in either ascending or descending order. The default column and order by which the List is sorted can be designated on the Personalize page in Options.

To sort the Message List in the Pro or WorldClient theme:

1.Click "View..." above the Message List, and then click the desired "Sort by..." option: Size, Date, Sender, Recipient, Subject, Categories, or Flag. The List will by sorted by that column in ascending order from A to Z, 1 to 2, January to December.

2.Click the same option a second time to change the sort order to descending from Z to A, 2 to 1, December to January.

To sort the Message List in other themes:

1.Click the heading of the column by which you wish to sort the List: Subject, From, Date, Size, or Flag. The List will be sorted by that column in ascending order from A to Z, 1 to 2, January to December.

2.Click the same heading a second time to change the sort order to descending from Z to A, 2 to 1, December to January.

Selecting Messages

To select a message in the LookOut or WorldClient theme, simply click the message. You can select all messages by right-clicking a message and then choosing "Select All" from the shortcut menu. To select messages in the other themes, click the checkbox or icon beside each message that you wish to select, or click the icon above or below the column of check boxes to select all. In most themes you can also select messages by holding the Control (CTRL) or Shift keys while clicking. Holding CTRL will select/deselect individual messages as you click. To select a series of messages, hold Shift and click the first message, then click the last message while still holding Shift. All messages between the two will also be selected.

Message Status Icons

In some themes the Message List has a column that is used for displaying a Status icon next to each entry. There are six icons that can be displayed in that column:

Toolbar

In all themes you can use the toolbar above the Message List to perform various functions, such as: mark messages as read or unread, move or copy them to another folder, delete them, and mark them as spam (i.e. junk email) or non-spam. The LookOut theme's toolbar also allows you to perform the functions that can only be performed from the Message View in the other themes.

All Themes

Every theme's toolbar contains the following controls when a message is selected:

•Compose—Click Compose (or New Email in WorldClient) to open the Compose view for composing a new message.

•Copy/Move Selected Messages—Select one or more messages and then click the copy/move icon to copy or move them to another folder. In all themes but Lite, a Destination Folder page will open for choosing the folder and designating whether or not to copy the messages or move them. To copy or move messages in the Lite theme, select the messages, choose the folder from the drop-down list, and then click Copy or Move.

•Delete Selected Messages—Select one or more messages and then click the Delete icon to delete them from the Message List. Depending on your Message Deletion and Hide Deleted Messages settings on the Personalize page, deleted messages will either be moved to your trash folder or flagged as deleted. To permanently delete a message, select the message and delete it again, or use the Empty Trash/Purge Deleted Messages option located on the toolbar or in the navigation pane. Messages may also be permanently deleted automatically when you sign out from Webmail, depending on the state of your Empty Trash at Sign Out setting, also located on the Personalize page.

•Identify Messages as Spam/Non-spam—You can select messages and flag them as spam, or junk email messages, by clicking the Thumb Down icon on the toolbar. Use the Thumb Up icon to identify  messages as legitimate, or non-spam. Regularly using this feature can help the server identify these messages for you in the future and filter them accordingly. It can help prevent legitimate messages from being flagged as spam by mistake, and it can help prevent junk email from slipping through to you undetected. In the WorldClient theme, the "This is Not Spam" option is located on the Shortcut Menu.

•Search—In the LookOut theme, the Search option is reached from an icon on the toolbar. In the other themes it is located above the toolbar. To search a folder's messages, enter the text you wish to search for and click Search. There are advanced options you can use to specify which parts of the messages to include in the search, set a date range for the search, and other options. When you are finished setting all of your search parameters, click Search. When using the Advanced Search options in the LookOut and WorldClient themes, you can save any search to use again in the future by clicking Saved Search Options in LookOut or More in WorldClient at the bottom of the Advanced Search panel. Type a name for the search in the New Search box and then press Enter. Saved searches are listed in the drop-down list box at the bottom of the Advanced Search panel. Saved Searches are also listed in the Folder List in the WorldClient and Lookout themes, and there are several options associated with saving searches located on the Folder Options page.

Other Toolbar Options

Below is a list of other options that are available on the toolbar in some themes. When one of these options isn't available on the toolbar in your selected theme, it will usually still be available in another location, such as in the navigation pane or Message View.

•Create new Event/Contact/List/Task/Note—In the LookOut theme, click the down arrow beside Compose to see a drop-down list that you can use to add a new Appointment/Event, Contact, Distribution List, Task, or Note. To create new appointments, contacts, etc. in other themes, you must first switch to the corresponding page.

•Reply and Forward—n the Pro and LookOut themes there are toolbar options for replying to and forwarding messages directly from the Message List instead of having to first open the message in the Message View. You can reply to the sender of a message, reply to the sender and all recipients, forward it to someone, or forward it as a separate attachment.

•View Source—Click the View Source icon to see the raw source or text of the message, including all of the message headers and html code.

•Show/Hide Message Preview—Click this button to hide the Message Preview pane or designate where you wish it to appear. You can set it to appear inline with the messages, or on the right side or below the Message List. The Message Preview pane is only available in the LookOut and WorldClient themes.

•Empty Trash/Purge Deleted—Click this icon to either empty your trash folder of all deleted messages or purge all messages flagged for deletion, depending on your Message Deletion setting on the Personalize page. In the other themes the Empty Trash link is on the left side of the page in the navigation pane.

•Get Mail—Click Get Mail or the refresh icon to check your mailbox for new messages.

•Print—Click the print icon to print the selected message (in the Pro theme, this option is only available from the Message View).

•Mark as Read/Unread—If you wish to mark one or more messages as Read or Unread, select the messages and then click the appropriate icon on the toolbar (in the LookOut and WorldClient themes this feature is located on the Shortcut Menu).

 

Shortcut Menu

All themes but Lite are equipped with a shortcut menu that can be reached by right-clicking any message. The shortcut menu contains the options that are on the LookOut toolbar, plus some or all of the following (depending on your theme and settings): Categories, Snooze for..., Reorder Columns, Select All, Undelete, Resend, and Copy to [Last Folder]. Click Categories to assign one or more categories to a message. Choose Snooze for... to specify an amount of time to hide a message. Click Reorder Columns to open a box that you can use to designate which columns you wish to display and in which order they will be displayed. You can also organize the columns from the Columns page. Click Select All to select all messages currently displayed in the list. Use Undelete if you have a message flagged for deletion and wish to restore it—the Undelete option is only visible when you have your Message Deletion option set to "Flag as Deleted." For messages in the Sent Items folder, the Resend option allows you to resend a message. Finally, when you have used the Copy/Move option to copy or move a message to another folder, the Copy to [Last Folder] option can help you more quickly copy or move other messages to the same folder.

When using the Pro theme on a smartphone or tablet, you can open the shortcut menu by selecting a message and tapping the vertical ellipses button in the bottom-right corner.

Checking Your Email

As long as you are signed in Webmail will automatically check your mailbox for new messages and update the Message List at a prescribed time interval. You can set the interval (List Refresh Time) on the Personalize page. You can also manually check for new messages at any time by clicking the Get Mail link or refresh icon ( in LookOut) on the toolbar.
