| What's New in Webmail
- Webmail is a web-based e-mail client that will connect you to your Mills e-mail account, but it also has other applications: its own addressbook, a calendar, a task manager (todo list), and a notekeeper.
- When you log in, Webmail takes you directly to your inbox. Mills has set this by default. You can change this to a different application from the Options menu on your left.
- New menu on the left vs. Menu on the bottom with these choices (click on (+) to expand the branches
- Main: you can set up a summary page with mini-views of your mail, tasks, address book, and also additional options like weather or sunrise/sunset times in a particular city. Use the Layout button to enable/disable or modify settings.
- Mail: your folders. You can expand the folders under INBOX, and you can also set up filtering rules if you want to automatically direct incoming mail to specific folders. There is also a direct link to Compose or Search.
- Organizing: from here you get to the other applications, Addressbook, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks.
- Options: set your overall defaults here. You can also access options for all the Webmail applications from a pull-down menu on the top right.
- Logout: use this to exit Webmail.
- Mail:
- The way you delete mail and clear trash has changed. Before, you marked to delete then purged deleted mail to clear them all out. Now delete will put your deleted messages in the trash by default. The button “Empty trash” will clean out your trash folder. You can go back to the old method by simply marking your deleted messages under the mail Options Deleting and Moving Messages. If you want to examine your trash folder, it will be beneath your INBOX.
- Compose mail: by default, you create messages as plain text, but now you can also use an HTML editor. Attachments: a warning message tells you of the 2 meg limit.
- Mail with attachments: you can view and download. New features include downloading as a compressed (zip) file, and you can also strip an attachment from a message. If you just want to save the message and do not want to fill up your disk space with attachments, you may want to use this button.
- In the old system, you could Block mail and Report as Spam. Now you have Block, Allowlist, and Report as Spam.
- You can set up Filtering options so that, for example, certain kinds of mail are automatically saved in specific folders.
- In the Addressbook, you can now make address lists. And also import from another client.
- General:
- Choose your own color scheme
- Multiple notepads
