Right-click context menu

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The context menu is accessed by right-clicking on a mailbox (or a selection of mailboxes) in the main window.

 

The figure below shows the context menu for when a single mailbox is selected; if multiple mailboxes are selected, the same menu is displayed, but some of the items will be disabled (grayed out) because they only make sense in the context of a single mailbox.
