Reading Mail

Opening a Message

Press Enter on a message in the list to open it in the reading pane (or in a new tab or window, depending on your Reading Mode setting in Settings → General).

Press Ctrl+Enter to open a message in a new tab regardless of the Reading Mode setting.

Reading Pane

The reading pane renders HTML messages with WebView2. Links open in your default browser. Images from remote sources are blocked by default.

Press F6 or Shift+F6 to move between the reading pane and other panes.

Message Windows

When Reading Mode is set to Window, messages open in a separate window. Each window has a full menu bar (File, Message, Navigate), a toolbar, and a command palette. Shortcuts work the same as in the main window:

Deleting a message from its window closes the window and returns focus to the originating position in the message list.

Message Properties

Press Alt+Enter on any message to open a properties window showing sender, recipients, date, size, and flags.

Marking as Read

Press Ctrl+Q to mark the selected message or messages as read. Messages are also marked read automatically when you open them (configurable in Settings → General).

Deleting Messages

Press Delete. Deleted messages go to Trash. Press Ctrl+Shift+E to empty the Trash for the selected account.

Tabs

QuickMail can open messages in tabs, keeping multiple messages visible at once.
