Reading an Email¶
What it does¶
Opening an email brings up the full message in a dedicated detail view, where you can read the content, see attachments, and take any follow-up action (reply, forward, mark, or categorise) without leaving the screen.
How to use it¶
- Open the Inbox tab, or a group on the Priorities tab, and tap any email in the list.
- The email opens in the Email Detail view. Scroll down to read the full message.
- To see who the email was sent to, tap the Recipients Details area near the top of the message header.
- Attachments appear below the email body, tap any attachment to open it.
- To action the email, tap the overflow menu (three-dot or action bar) to reveal:
- Reply: compose a reply to the sender only.
- Reply All: compose a reply to the sender and all recipients.
- Forward: send the email to a new recipient.
- Mark as Unread: resets the email to unread so it surfaces again later.
- Mark as Priority: flags the email as important.
- Category: assigns the email to a category.
- Tap the back arrow to return to your inbox.
Tips & shortcuts¶
- Opening an email automatically marks it as read. If you opened it by accident, tap Mark as Unread immediately to restore it.
- Use Mark as Priority on emails that need follow-up but aren't urgent enough to action right now, they'll stand out in your inbox.
