Email For Windows Phone

Email For Windows Phone

Red is unread 

Your inbox is presented as a list of messages, with the most recent at the top. Any mails you’ve received that you haven’t yet read will have their subject line highlighted in red (or whatever your theme colour is) 

Swipe left for labels 

By flicking left and right across the screen you can change the email view, so you aren’t simply presented with a long list of all of your messages. Other views include Unread (only unread emails appear), Flagged (messages you’ve marked as important) and Urgent 

Timed to perfection 

To the right of each email you’ll see the time or date when it arrived. If it came the same day you’ll see the time in the 24-hour clock, while everything earlier shows up as a date 

Attached to you 

If an email includes an attachment (such as a photo), a little paperclip icon will appear beneath the date. Go into the message and you can download the attachment to your phone by tapping on the icon

See the full conversation 

If the email is part of an ongoing conversation, you’ll see a vertical line beneath the sender’s name, and a number telling you how many messages are in the conversation. Tap on the email and the full conversation is revealed 

Delete all 

Get tons of spam mail? Don’t delete them one at a time. Instead, tap the Select icon and a column of check-boxes appears to the left of your messages. Tap the box for each email you wish to delete, then hit the bin icon at the bottom 

Sync me up 

To refresh your emails and check for new ones, simply tap the Sync icon. Any unread emails since your last sync will appear in your list of messages 

Lost and found 

Flicking through thousands of emails looking for that one hilarious cat pic your mum sent you can be a real trial. Hit the Search icon and type in a key word – either the emailer’s name or a subject title – and your recent mails are searched. If you need to search further back, just hit ‘Search more’

Change your email signature

1› First go to your email inbox and tap the three tiny dots in the bottom right.

2› Tap ‘Settings’. At the bottom of the new menu, you’ll find the ‘Signature’ section.

3› Make sure the switch is set to ‘On’, then enter your desired signature text in the box.

4› When you’re satisfied, tap the tick button at the bottom of the screen. Job done!
