Reading Mail

Click a thread in a message list to open it.

The thread view shows the subject at the top and the messages in the thread below it. Opening a thread marks it as read.

For multi-message threads, click a message header to expand or collapse that message.

When a message is expanded, the sender email appears next to the sender name. Click the info button to show or hide details such as:

  • To
  • Cc
  • Date
  • Message-ID
  • In-Reply-To
  • References

Message detail values can be selected and copied.

HTML messages render in the message body. Plain-text messages show selectable text, and detected links are clickable.

If a message has no body content, SwiftMail shows No content.

Press Command-F while reading a thread to open Find in message.

Type a search term, then use the up and down buttons to move between matches. Press Escape or click the close button to dismiss the find bar.
