Mail: analysis of the toolbar

So, let's analyze the operations that can be executed directly from the toolbar of Mail. For clarity we will provide you a screenshot enlarged.

The first set of tools that we analyze is as follows:

Tools Email 1

Get the button, which is one of the most used button, it invokes the function that checks mail, automatically, the presence of new messages in the mailbox and if found will be downloaded to your computer and informs the user their presence. This is done in the main window alongside the message just received a blue circle that indicates that the message has not yet been read and the Mail icon on the dock will change as follows:

Tools Email 1

This suggests that it is not necessary to keep the Mail window in the foreground, as the notification of the presence of a new message is direttamanete icon.

Perform a regular mail to the mail server (the default time between a query and the other is set to 5 minutes) so you do not constantly have to click on the button Receive to check for new messages.

(The article continues below ...)

Going forward with the analysis of the first set of buttons are proposed Delete button and the button Junk. Of course, you must first select a mail message to use the functionality associated with these two buttons. The first simply delete the e-mail selected, while the second label as junk e-mail the selected message. Label a message as junk means that the message is considered spam, or that such a message may contain unwanted advertising.

Once a message marked as spam, its content is analyzed by Mail will automatically identify emails like that, if received, will not be displayed to the user. This automatic mechanism to detect spam messages, sometimes it can make mistakes and move the folder of an e-mail spam that really should not be labeled as spam. We recommend you to watch, so regular, the contents of the Junk Mail folder check for messages that were mistakenly labeled as spam.

The third and last block of the tools shown in the screenshot at the beginning of chapter tool Reply and Reply All, that if clicked will open a new mail message with the same or the same senders of the mail message selected in the center window. The tool also, trivially, will open a new mail message by pasting the text of the mail message selected in the new message, the recipient while leaving it blank.

We are now going to analyze the second set of tools on the toolbar:

Tools Email 2

The first button, as you guessed understand, will open a new window for sending a new message while they deserve a wider overview the features and functionality Activity Note. Enter a new task is equivalent to insert a reminder. In fact, you can set for each activity, the new expiration date, automatically sending an email to remind you about the task at hand and also you can set a sound on your computer. Note The function will automatically open a new window comprendenente a text editor to allow a minimal basic formatting of the note. New notes and new activities that will be placed on the left side of the main screen of the Mail and so you can quickly aced.

Finally, the Search field allows you to search mail messages inserted in the text field and you can search the text of the mail, the sender, recipient, or the object in the email message as shown in the screenshot below (the This bar will automatically appear in the screen just below the toolbar, just enter the first letter in the search field):
