General​ ​Overview​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Finmail Webmail User Interface

< All Topics

After​ ​successfully​ ​authenticating,​ ​the​ ​Finmail​ ​webmail​ ​screen​ ​is​ ​divided​ ​into​ ​distinct​ ​functional​ ​parts,​ ​which​ ​are​ ​outlined​ ​below:

(1)​ ​Application​ ​Tasks

The​ ​webmail​ ​application​ ​offers​ ​various​ ​main​ ​tasks​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Email,​ ​Address​ ​Book,​ ​Settings,​ ​etc.​ ​Use​ ​this​ ​list​ ​to​ ​seamlessly​ ​switch​ ​between​ ​tasks.​ ​By​ ​selecting​ ​a​ ​specific​ ​task,​ ​the​ ​screen​ ​will​ ​reload​ ​to​ ​display​ ​a​ ​tailored​ ​view.​ ​To​ ​avoid​ ​unnecessary​ ​switching,​ ​task​ ​screens​ ​can​ ​be​ ​opened​ ​in​ ​individual​ ​browser​ ​windows​ ​or​ ​tabs.​ ​Simply​ ​right-click​ ​on​ ​a​ ​task​ ​icon​ ​in​ ​the​ ​list​ ​and​ ​choose​ ​”Open​ ​Link​ ​in​ ​New​ ​Tab/Window”​ ​from​ ​the​ ​browser’s​ ​context​ ​menu.

In​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​the​ ​main​ ​tasks,​ ​the​ ​Logout​ ​button​ ​is​ ​also​ ​conveniently​ ​located​ ​in​ ​this​ ​section.

(2)​ ​Status​ ​Display

This​ ​area​ ​of​ ​the​ ​screen​ ​is​ ​dedicated​ ​to​ ​displaying​ ​status​ ​notifications,​ ​including​ ​confirmations,​ ​warnings,​ ​and​ ​errors.​ ​These​ ​notifications​ ​will​ ​inform​ ​you​ ​about​ ​the​ ​success​ ​or​ ​failure​ ​of​ ​operations​ ​performed​ ​within​ ​the​ ​application.​ ​Furthermore,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​application​ ​is​ ​performing​ ​tasks​ ​or​ ​loading​ ​data,​ ​relevant​ ​notifications​ ​will​ ​be​ ​displayed​ ​here.

(3)​ ​Toolbar

The​ ​primary​ ​toolbar​ ​is​ ​consistently​ ​positioned​ ​above​ ​the​ ​content​ ​area​ ​and​ ​enables​ ​you​ ​to​ ​execute​ ​various​ ​actions​ ​based​ ​on​ ​the​ ​content​ ​displayed​ ​or​ ​selected​ ​in​ ​the​ ​window.​ ​Grayed-out​ ​buttons​ ​indicate​ ​that​ ​the​ ​corresponding​ ​action​ ​is​ ​not​ ​available​ ​for​ ​the​ ​current​ ​selection.​ ​Moreover,​ ​if​ ​a​ ​toolbar​ ​icon​ ​features​ ​a​ ​small​ ​arrow​ ​on​ ​its​ ​right​ ​side,​ ​clicking​ ​it​ ​will​ ​display​ ​alternative​ ​variations​ ​of​ ​the​ ​action​ ​to​ ​be​ ​executed.

Additional​ ​actions​ ​can​ ​be​ ​accessed​ ​by​ ​clicking​ ​the​ ​”More”​ ​button,​ ​if​ ​available.

(4)​ ​List​ ​Operations

Icons​ ​positioned​ ​in​ ​the​ ​footer​ ​area​ ​of​ ​a​ ​list​ ​provide​ ​actions​ ​that​ ​affect​ ​the​ ​list​ ​above​ ​or​ ​the​ ​currently​ ​selected​ ​element​ ​within​ ​the​ ​list.​ ​The​ ​gear​ ​icon​ ​typically​ ​opens​ ​a​ ​menu​ ​displaying​ ​additional​ ​actions.

(5)​ ​Search​ ​Box

If​ ​the​ ​currently​ ​selected​ ​task​ ​allows​ ​for​ ​data​ ​searching​ ​(e.g.,​ ​email​ ​messages​ ​or​ ​contacts),​ ​a​ ​search​ ​box​ ​is​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​upper-right​ ​corner​ ​above​ ​the​ ​mail list or the main​ ​content​ ​area.​ ​To​ ​initiate​ ​a​ ​search,​ ​enter​ ​your​ ​desired​ ​search​ ​term​ ​and​ ​press​ ​<Enter>​ ​on​ ​the​ ​keyboard.​ ​To​ ​clear​ ​the​ ​search,​ ​click​ ​the​ ​clear​ ​icon​ ​located​ ​on​ ​the​ ​right​ ​side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​search​ ​box.

A​ ​search​ ​icon,​ ​located​ ​to​ ​the​ ​left​ ​of​ ​the​ ​search​ ​box,​ ​may​ ​reveal​ ​hidden​ ​search​ ​options​ ​within​ ​a​ ​drop-down​ ​menu.

Resizing​ ​Content​ ​Boxes

Certain​ ​boxes​ ​that​ ​occupy​ ​the​ ​main​ ​content​ ​area​ ​of​ ​the​ ​screen​ ​can​ ​be​ ​resized.​ ​Locate​ ​the​ ​resize​ ​handle​ ​splitter​ ​positioned​ ​between​ ​two​ ​boxes,​ ​and​ ​drag​ ​it​ ​using​ ​the​ ​mouse.
