The Latest Emails Widget does not only inform you about the latest emails fetched during your session, it also gives you the functionality to read those emails.

As soon as an Email Message was opened in a tab or a Preview Window, this message will be marked as 'read'.

Previewing an Email Message

To preview an Email Message from the Latest Emails Widget, simply select the grid row representing the message you want to read. A preview window will slide out of the widget towards the center of the workbench, providing information about

  • the sender of the message
  • the recipient(s) of the message
  • the 'reply to' address of the message, if available
  • the message text itself in plain/text

There can only be one preview window opened at a time. Selecting another grid row while the preview window is open will hide the window and open another one.

Interacting with the Preview Window

You can interact wit the preview window in different ways.

Closing the Preview Window

The Preview Window can be closed by either clicking it's 'Close'-icon or by deselecting the row in the grid that was selected for opening the preview window. To deselect a grid row, simply hold the Ctrl-key while clicking the corresponding row.

Dragging the Preview Window

The Preview Window can be dragged. It has not a specific drop target, however, when dropped, the email message that was shown in the window will open as a tab in the main panel of the workbench, providing the toolbar related to reading emails and access to possible attachments the email message provides.

Drag and Drop of the Preview Window
  1. Open up a Preview Window by clicking a grid row in the Latest Emails Widget.
  2. Click on the header of the Preview Window. Detach the Preview Window from the grid by clicking it's header, then dragging the window while not releasing the mouse button.
  3. It does not matter where or when you release the mouse button - as soon as you do, the detached Preview Window will be added as a tab to the workbench's main panel.

Opening an Email Message in a Tab

Email Messages from the latest Emails Widget can be opened in a tab. Besides dragging and dropping a Preview Window to open a tab, you can also double-click an entry from the grid in the Latest Emails Widget to open the corresponding email message as a tab.

You can also double-click the header of a Preview Window to open the email message in a tab!
