Viewing Mail

When you log into the Stanford Email and Calendar, you see a full screen view similar to the one shown below.

The Webmail page includes the following areas:

• Browser Controls. Shows the standard browser buttons, such as Home, the current address you are pointing to, and other features that may depend on your browser software and settings. The buttons on the browser bar are not part of to the Stanford Webmail Client and display for every web page you visit.
• User Name, Quota Display, and Search Bar. The user name under which you logged in and your mailbox quota are displayed in this area.
  
  Quick Search and Advanced Search are displayed in this toolbar.
  
  
  
• Application Tabs. The applications that you can access are listed in the tabs at the top. On the right is Help and Log Off.
  
• Toolbar. Shows actions available for the application you are currently using. In this example, the Mail application toolbar is displayed.
  
  
• Overview Pane. Displays your folders, including the system folders Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Junk, and Trash, as well as any custom folders you may have create; searches you may have saved; Tags you created; and, Zimlet links that may have been created to integrate with third-party applications from within your mailbox. When you are in the Calendar application, the Overview pane displays your calendar list and Zimlets.
  
• A mini-calendar can be displayed below the Overview pane. Displaying the mini-calendar is optional and can be enabled in Preferences, Calendar tab.
  
  
• Content Pane. The content of this area changes depending on what application is in use. In the Inbox view, it displays all messages or conversations in your Inbox.
  
  

New Ways of Viewing Mail

Launch in a Separate Window

You can view your message in a separate window by clicking the Launch icon on the Toolbar.

Note that you cannot reply to or forward the message from this window. However, if you need this message visible while you are reviewing other messages, it can be very helpful.

View by Message or by Conversation

If you receive a few email messages a day, you can probably quickly view the content of your mailbox to find the message you are looking for, but if you receive dozens of email messages a day, you may want to group them to more quickly find what you are looking for.

• Message view. Messages can be displayed in the Inbox by date. This is the traditional message view, where messages received today display the hour received and messages received in previous days show the date received.
  
  
• Conversation view. The Conversation View displays your messages grouped by subject, as shown below. Because all messages in a conversation have the same subject, the subject displays once in the conversation view pane. All messages related to the conversation are displayed, even if they are stored in different folders.
