Other actions are available if you unfold the drop-down menu by clicking the ArrowBottom icon in a message's row:

 

Reply_Messaging Reply - opens a dialog where a reply to the message can be written and sent out.

Bulk actions in Inbox and Outbox

 

In Inbox and Outbox, you can perform certain actions with multiple messages at once. For this purpose, you need to adjust the two drop-down lists below the listing. In the first one, you can choose from the following options:

 

Selected messages - the action will only be performed to messages selected by the check-boxes in the respective rows.

All messages - the action will be performed to all listed messages.

 

After choosing from the first drop-down list, you need to select the action to be taken from the second one and click OK. In Inbox, the Delete, Mark as read and Mark as unread actions are available. I Outbox, you can only use the Delete action for multiple files at once.

Contact list

 

This tab represents the current user's contact list, i.e. a list of users they communicate with. Having a user in the contact list makes it easier to select the user as a recipient when creating a new message.

 

The Add users button opens a pop-up dialog where you can select users to be added to the list. The Remove selected button removes users selected by the check-boxes from the list.

Ignore list

 

This tab represents the current user's ignore list, i.e. a list of users from which no messages will be received. If a user who is in your ignore list sends you a message, the message will simply not be delivered.

 

The Add users button opens a pop-up dialog where you can select users to be added to the list. The Remove selected button removes users selected by the check-boxes from the list.
