+ +

Sharing Folders With Other Users + (IMAP Only)

+ +

Users with IMAP mail accounts can share mail folders with other users on the + same network. Sharing folders allows several users to see and work with the + same messages, similar to a newsgroup. To use shared folders, your IMAP mail + server must support Access Control List (ACL) management. Check with your + system administrator or help desk if you are not sure that shared folders + are supported by your IMAP mail server.

+ +

To share a mail folder with other users on your network, or to view sharing + information for a folder, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Within an IMAP account, select a folder that you want to share, or select + a folder whose sharing privileges you want to view. + +

    Folders listed under Local Folders, or folders listed under a POP mail + account cannot be shared.

    +
    2. +
  2. Open the Edit menu, and choose Folder Properties.
    3. +
  3. Click the Sharing tab.
    4. +
  4. Click Privileges. You may be prompted to enter your network user name and + password. + +

    The Privileges button is only available if the IMAP mail server allows + you to set folder sharing privileges. If this button is not available, + you can view the folder sharing privileges for this folder but cannot + change them.

    +
    5. +
  5. Follow the instructions on the screen to add users and to set their + folder access privileges. +
      +
    • Read privileges: Users can read messages and copy + their contents, but they cannot modify or delete messages, or copy + messages into the folder. Users can flag messages as read or unread. + See Marking or Flagging + Messages for instructions on flagging messages.
      • +
    • Read and Write privileges: In addition to Read + privileges, users can modify and delete messages. Users can also copy + or move messages into the folder.
      • +
    • Manage privileges: In addition to Read and Write + privileges, users can add and remove users and change their folder + permissions.
      • +
    +
    6. +
  6. Click OK to confirm your changes.
    7. +
  7. Click OK to close the Folder Properties dialogue box.
    8. +
+ +

In the list of folders for your mail account, a shared folder displays a + distinctive folder icon to indicate that it is shared.

+ +

To send a message that tells others how they can subscribe to your shared + folder, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Select the shared folder.
    2. +
  2. Right-click to display a pop-up menu, and choose Copy Folder + Location.
    3. +
  3. Click Compose to display a Mail compose window.
    4. +
  4. Click in the message body, open the Edit menu, and choose Paste.
    5. +
  5. Address the message, type a subject, and type the message text. Tell + message recipients that they can subscribe to the shared folder by clicking + the link you pasted into the message. + +

    Only message recipients who share the same network will be able to + subscribe to your shared folder.

    +
    6. +
  6. Click Send.
    7. +
+ +

Subscribing to a Shared Folder

+ +

Subscribing to a shared folder is similar to subscribing to a newsgroup. To + subscribe to a shared folder, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the File menu and choose Subscribe. You see the Subscribe dialogue + box.
    2. +
  2. If necessary, click the Account drop-down list to choose another IMAP + mail account.
    3. +
  3. Select the folder that you want to subscribe to.
    4. +
  4. Click Subscribe or click in the Subscribe column next to the folder. You + see a tick mark next to each folder to which you subscribe. Click + Unsubscribe to cancel a selection.
    5. +
  5. Click OK. The list of your subscribed folders appears in the Mail + window.

Tagging Messages

+ +

You can apply tags to messages to help you organise and prioritise them. + You can apply a standard colour and tag text to messages, or you can create + your own colour and tag text to suit your needs.

+ +

One powerful way to use tags is to set up a message filter to + automatically tag incoming messages from a specific sender. For example, + you can set up a message filter so that incoming messages from your boss are + tagged Important and appear in red. See + Creating Message Filters for more + information.

+ +

Applying a Tag

+ +

To apply a tag to a message, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Select the message you want to tag.
    2. +
  2. Open the Message menu, and choose Tag.
    3. +
  3. Choose the tag you want to apply from the list.
    4. +
+ +

The message summary row changes to the colour of the tag with the topmost + priority. To see the tag text, you must display the Tags column in the Mail + window.

+ +

Tip: To quickly tag messages or remove a tag, select + one or more messages and press one of the number keys 1-9 on your keyboard. + Press 0 to remove all tags.

+ +

To display the Tags column, begin from the Mail window:

+ + + +

Note: Message tags apply on a per-account basis. For + example, if you move or copy a tagged message to another mail account, the + tags are not preserved. Similarly, if you forward a tagged message to + another recipient, the tags are not preserved. For IMAP mail accounts, if + your IMAP server supports user-defined keywords, message tags will persist + when you log in to your mail account from a different location.

+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

Customising Tags

+ +

You can customise tag colours and text and their order to suit your + needs.

+ +

To customise tags, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences. You see the + Preferences dialogue box.
    2. +
  2. Under the Mail & Newsgroups category, click Tags. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Mail & Newsgroups to expand the + list.)
    3. +
  3. Edit the tag text, or replace it with your own tag text. The tag + can be up to 32 characters long.
    4. +
  4. To change the tag colour, click the colour block next to that tag and + select a new colour.
    5. +
  5. Click the Move Up and Move Down buttons to reorder the tags. Tags at + the top will have higher priority when colouring messages.
    6. +
  6. Click OK.
    7. +
+ +

Your changes are immediately applied to all tagged messages in all your + mail accounts.

+ +

Tip: To undo all customisations and restore just the + default tags' text and colours, follow the steps above to display the tag + settings, and click Restore Defaults.

+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

+ +

To sort messages by tags, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. To display the Tags column if it is hidden, click the Show/Hide Columns + icon and select Tags from the + list.
    2. +
  2. Click the Tags column to sort messages by tags, and within each tag + type, to sort messages by date.
    3. +
+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

+ +
    +
  1. Select one or more tagged messages.
    2. +
  2. Open the Message menu, and choose Tag.
    3. +
  3. Choose the tag you want to remove or None to remove all tags + from this message.
    4. +

Marking or Flagging Messages

+ +

You might want to mark a message you've read as unread if you later + want to re-read the message or respond to it.

+ +

To mark a message as unread, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Select a Mail or Newsgroup folder to display its messages.
    2. +
  2. Click in the Read column of each message you want to mark as unread. + Messages marked as unread display a symbol in the Read column. Messages marked as read display a + symbol in the Read column. If the + Read column is not visible, click the Show/Hide Columns icon + and select Read from the list.
    3. +
+ + + + + + + + +
Read column
+ +

You can flag messages that you later want to download for + offline + use.

+ +

To flag messages, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Select a Mail or Newsgroup folder to display its messages.
    2. +
  2. Click in the Flag column of each message you want to download. A flag + appears where you clicked to + indicate that the message has been flagged. If the Flag column is not + visible, click the Show/Hide Columns icon and select Flag from the list.
    3. +

Using Message Views

+ +

You can apply preset or custom message views to help you manage messages by + filtering displayed messages.

+ +

To use a message view, open the View menu and choose Messages. Choose an + option from the submenu.

+ + + +

Tip: You can quickly change the message view from the View + box in the Search Bar. If you do not see the Search Bar, open the View menu, + choose Show/Hide, and then choose Search Bar.

Quick mail search bar
+ +

Creating a Custom View

+ +

You can create custom message views to only display messages matching + certain criteria.

+ +

To change or create a custom message view:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the View menu, choose Messages, and then choose Customise.
    2. +
  2. To create a new view, click New. To modify a view, select a view and + click Edit.
    3. +
  3. Type a name for the message view.
    4. +
  4. Select the matching option you want Mail to use: all of the + following conditions (criteria) you choose, or any of the + following.
    5. +
  5. Use the drop-down lists to choose the search criteria (for example, + Subject, Sender, contains, doesn't + contain) and then type the text or phrase you want to match. + +

    Tip: To search for messages that contain a header not + listed in the first drop-down menu (for example, if you want to search + for messages that include the header Resent-From), choose Customise and + type the header you want to search for. &brandShortName; Mail & + Newsgroups adds your custom header to the drop-down list, so you can then + choose it to search for matching entries. Make sure you enter the custom + header correctly, since Mail will only find entries that exactly match + what you type.

    +
    6. +
  6. Click More to add criteria and Fewer to remove them.
    7. +
  7. Click OK to confirm your settings.
    8. +
  8. Click OK in the Customise Message Views dialogue box. The selected view + setting applies automatically.
    9. +

+ +

Creating Message Filters

+ +

Message filters allow you to manage and organise your messages. You can + create message filters that &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups uses to + automatically perform certain actions on incoming messages based on criteria + you specify. For example, you can create a message filter that automatically + moves incoming messages to a particular folder. Message filters operate on a + per-account basis.

+ +

If you are not already viewing the Message Filters dialogue box, begin from + the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Tools menu and choose Message Filters. You see the Message + Filters dialogue box.
    2. +
  2. If you have multiple mail accounts, choose the one to which you want to + apply the filter.
    3. +
  3. Click New. You use the Filter Rules dialogue box to specify the types of + messages to act on, and the actions you want the filter to perform.
    4. +
  4. Type a name for the filter.
    5. +
  5. Select when you want the filter to be applied. This setting enables you + to define some filters to be applied in an automatic way (when checking + mail), on demand (manually run), or both. After classification means + that junk and phishing controls will be run before applying the + filter.
    6. +
  6. Select the matching option you want Mail to use: all of the + following conditions (criteria) you choose, any of the + following conditions you choose, or all messages.
    7. +
  7. Use the drop-down lists to choose the search criteria (for example, + Subject, Sender, contains, doesn't + contain) and then type the text or phrase you want to match. + +

    Tip: To search for messages that contain a header not + listed in the first drop-down menu (for example, if you want to search + for messages that include the header Resent-From), choose Customise and + type the header you want to search for. &brandShortName; Mail & + Newsgroups adds your custom header to the drop-down list, so you can then + choose it to search for matching entries. Make sure you enter the custom + header correctly, since Mail will only find entries that exactly match + what you type.

    +
    8. +
  8. Click + to add criteria and - to remove them.
    9. +
  9. Use the list to choose the action you want the filter to perform on the + messages (for example, Move Message To). Use + and - to add + or remove additional actions. + +

    Tip: To automatically tag incoming messages, choose + Tag Message from the drop-down list.

    + +

    Tip: Message filters are applied one after another. It + could be that you don't want all filters to be run if one or more + messages match some conditions. For instance, you may want to tag all + messages from your boss's email address as Important, and + you may want all messages containing the word Memorandum in their + subject to be moved to a folder named Pending Reads, but you + don't want any message from your boss to be moved to another folder, + even if it contains Memorandum in the subject. So the first + message filter you define should match your boss's email address, + and would contain two actions: Tag Message as Important and + Stop Filter Execution.

    +
    10. +
  10. If you have chosen Move or Copy message to a folder, then + select a destination folder in which to store the messages, or create a + new folder.
    11. +
  11. Click OK to confirm your settings.
    12. +
  12. To run filters on existing messages in a folder, select the folder + in the bottom dropdown list and click the Run Now button.
    13. +
  13. Click OK in the Message Filters dialogue box. The filter begins filtering + incoming messages as soon as you click OK.
    14. +
+ +

Note: You can also run message filters manually at any + time. In the Mail window, choose Tools, and then select Run Filters on Folder + to apply filters to the current folder, or Run Filters on Message to apply + filters to the selected message (if any).

+ +

To manage your filters, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Tools menu and choose Message Filters. You see the Message + Filters dialogue box.
    2. +
  2. If you have multiple mail accounts, choose the one to which you want to + apply the filter.
    3. +
  3. Choose from the following: +
      +
    • To turn a filter on or off: Click the tickbox to + the right of the filter name to enable it, or click it again to turn it + off.
      • +
    • To edit a filter: Select the filter name and click + Edit (or double-click the filter name). Use the Filter Rules dialogue + box to make your changes.
      • +
    • To delete a filter: Select the filter name and click + Delete.
      • +
    • To change the order in which filters are applied: In + the filter list, click a filter's name, and click Move Up + or Move Down to move it. + +

      Note: Filters are applied to each incoming message + in the order you choose, until a filter action results in the message + being deleted or moved from the Inbox folder.

      +
      • +
    +
    4. +
  4. Click OK when you are done managing your filters. If you created a new + filter, it begins filtering incoming messages as soon as you click OK.
    5. +
+ +

Note: If you delete a folder that you've been using to + store filtered messages, the filter will no longer work. Incoming messages + that match the filter criteria will appear in your Inbox. If you rename or + move the folder, the filter will automatically update to use the renamed or + moved folder.

+ +

Tip: If you have existing messages that you want to move to + another folder, use the Run Filters on Messages option in the Tools menu.

+ +

Filtering Messages From a + Specific Sender

+ +

You can quickly create a filter for messages from a particular sender. For + example, if you want to automatically move all incoming messages from your + child's teacher into a folder called School, you can quickly set + up a filter to do this.

+ +

To create a filter for messages from a specific sender, begin from the Mail + window:

+ +
    +
  1. Select a message from a specific sender.
    2. +
  2. Open the Message menu and choose Create Filter From Message. Or, in the + message header pane, right click the sender name and choose Create Filter + From.
    3. +
  3. You see the Filter Rules dialogue box. Using the sender's email + address, &brandShortName; prefills the filter matching criteria and the + filter action (Move Message to). You can change or add new rules to the + matching criteria.
    4. +
  4. Choose a destination folder in which to store the incoming messages from + the specified sender, or create a new folder. You can also choose other + actions for this filter, or change the default one.
    5. +
  5. Note that, if you leave the filter name empty, &brandShortName; will + provide a name for it based on the first criterion.
    6. +
  6. Click OK to confirm your settings. You see the + Message Filters dialogue box, where + you can create, delete, or edit message filters.
    7. +
  7. Click OK. The filter begins filtering incoming messages from the + specified sender as soon as you click OK.
    8. +

Searching Through Messages

+ +

&brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups lets you quickly find text in a + single message, search messages by subject or sender, or use a combination of + criteria to perform a thorough search through all messages in a specific mail + folder, newsgroup, or account.

+ +

To locate text in a single message, begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +

    3. +
  3. Click Find to locate the first occurrence of the text.
    4. +
  4. Continue clicking Find to locate additional occurrences, or click Cancel + when you are done.
    5. +
  5. Choose Find Again from the Edit menu to continue searching for the text + throughout the rest of the message.
    6. +
+ +

To quickly search for messages in a selected folder by subject or sender, + begin from the Mail window:

+ +
    +
  1. To the right of Subject or Sender contains:, type the subject text + or sender name that you want to find. You can type only part of the subject + or sender, or you can type the exact word or name that you want to find. + +

    As soon as you stop typing, &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups + displays only those messages in the selected folder where the subject or + sender contains the search text you entered.

    +
    2. +
  2. Click Clear to erase the search text and show all messages in the + selected folder.
    3. +

  3. Select Search subfolders to include all subfolders in the + search.
    4. +
  4. Next to Perform search operations on, select an option where to + search for messages in newsgroups or IMAP accounts: +
      +
    • Choose Local system to use only the information stored locally + for the search without any network activity. This mode includes all + major message headers. You can't search the message body locally + unless the account and its folders have been set up for + synchronisation. +
      • +
    • Choose Remote server to perform all searches on the server + where the messages are located. This will allow you to also search for + contents in message bodies which have not been synchronised.
      • +
    +

    Note: This menu will be disabled if it's not + possible to search remotely on the server (e.g., for POP accounts).

    +
    5. +
  5. Select which matching option Mail & Newsgroups will use to search for + messages that match all or at least one of the conditions (criteria) that + you choose.
    6. +
  6. Use the drop-down lists to indicate the search criteria (for example, + Subject and contains) and then type the text or phrase that + you want to match. + +

    Tip: To search for messages that contain a header not + listed in the first drop-down menu (for example, if you want to search + for messages that include the header Resent-From), choose Customise and + type the header you want to search for. &brandShortName; Mail & + Newsgroups adds your custom header to the drop-down list, so you can then + choose it to search for matching entries.

Controlling Junk Mail

+ +

This section describes how to use &brandShortName;'s Junk Mail Controls +to filter unwanted mail, and how phishing detection works.

+ +
In this section: + +
+ + +

Using Junk Mail Controls

+ +

&brandShortName;'s Junk Mail Controls feature can evaluate your + incoming messages and identify possible junk (or unsolicited) messages. The + feature uses the Bayesian classification method. You first train + &brandShortName; by showing it a bunch of mail that is junk, and a bunch of + mail that is not. Then, you let it auto-classify new mail for you. If + &brandShortName; makes any mistakes, you can correct them.

+ +

To use Junk Mail Controls:

+ +
    +
  1. First, train &brandShortName; to recognise Junk messages and Non-Junk + messages. There are three ways to toggle junk status of the selected + message(s): +
      +
    • Open the Message menu, select Mark and choose As Junk + or As Not Junk.
      • +
    • Click on the Junk toolbar button.
      • +
    • + +

      Click to toggle the Junk Status column in the message list. (If you + do not see it, click the right-most button ( + ) in the list header bar and + select Junk Status from the pop-up menu.)

      +
      • +
    + +

    When you toggle junk status, a wastebasket icon will appear or disappear + in the Junk status column to indicate the junk status of the selected + message.

    +

Junk Mail Controls and Filters

+ +

Junk Mail Controls run after mail filters (unless you set the filter to run + after classification, where classification includes junk and phishing + scanning) and apply only to the Inbox folder and its sub-folders. Use this to + your advantage, for example, you can filter mail you are sure not to be Junk + to a special folder outside of Inbox so that the messages will not be + classified as Junk (especially useful if you subscribe to newsletters or if + you are on a moderated mailing list).

Phishing Detection

+ +

Phishing is a particularly common fraudulent business scheme in which + a party creates counterfeit web sites designed to trick recipients into + divulging personal data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, + passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand names of banks, + e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often convince + recipients to respond.

+ +

In many cases, you'll receive a link to a phishing page via an email + which claims to come from an official-looking address. You can also end up + at these pages by following links that you find on the Web or in IM + messages.

+ +

Tip: Since a forged URL + can look very similar to a genuine one, it's safer to use a bookmark + you've created or to type the URL into the location bar by hand instead + of following a link in an email message. Always consider the risk of a forged + URL if you're asked to log in or provide private information on a + web site.

+ +

&brandShortName; Mail phishing detector is enabled by default. When it + encounters a mail which seems to be scam, it will show a warning bar in the + message window.

+ +

If you think that the email is a valid one, you can click on the Not + Scam button, and the warning bar will disappear.

+ +

When a user clicks on a link in an email that appears to be a phishing URL, + &brandShortName; will prompt the user with a dialogue box before the web site + is opened.

+ +

This prompt will appear if either of the following is true: the host name of + the actual URL is an IP address, or + the link text is a URL whose host name does not match the host name of the + actual URL.

+ +

Note: Phishing detection has a higher precedence than Junk + Mail detection.

+ +

For more technical details on this subject, see the online document + Know your Enemy: + Phishing.
