Use the Personalize settings to customize the appearance and operation of Webmail. Some options are available in only one theme.
Signing In
Language
This is the language in which Webmail's pages will appear.
Theme
This is the visual scheme or set of pages that Webmail will use to display your messages and content. The themes included in Webmail are WorldClient and Pro. For more on Themes, see: Choosing a Theme.
Style
This option provides a preconfigured set of font colors and sizes, background colors, and so on. Choose your favorite. This does not change the layout of your pages. Layout and controls are determined by the Theme.
Change Font
Choose the font that Webmail uses to display its pages.
Default View
Use this option to choose the page that is displayed when you sign in to Webmail, such as Inbox, Calendar, or Contacts. In the WorldClient theme, you can also choose Chat, which is the default when chat is available on your account.
Keyboard Shortcuts
This feature makes it possible for you to choose from several different keyboard shortcut layouts: WorldClient (Default), Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Thunderbird, or None. If you are already familiar with the shortcut key combinations used by another email client, such as Gmail or Outlook, then you can use this feature to cause Webmail to use your preferred layout. For more information, see: Keyboard Shortcuts.
Time Zone
Use this option to choose the time zone that you wish to use for your messages and calendars.
Dark Mode
Check this box to display Webmail with a dark background.
Skip initial mail check
If you have a lot of mail folders, checking this option may help you sign in faster, since it will prevent Webmail from counting all of the messages in all of your folders when you first sign in. Counts for the Inbox will still be done.
Collapse my nested folders
If you have many nested folders, this option can help you sign in faster by displaying the Folder List with its nested folders collapsed.
Display Previews
By default, a detailed preview is displayed whenever you click a contact, task, note, or calendar event. You can then click the edit button to edit the item. If you disable this option, clicking one of those items immediately opens it for editing rather than showing you the preview.
Instant Messenger
Enable MDaemon's Instant Messaging feature in browser
Activate this option if you would like to use MDaemon Webmail's integrated instant messaging application, which you can use to chat with other MDaemon users. In the WorldClient theme, this gives you access to the Chat page, with its extensive set of chat-related features. This is enabled by default.
When enabled in the Pro theme, this brings the basic MDaemon chat features into the theme instead of requiring you to install a separate instant messaging client. An instant messenger icon will appear in the top-right corner of the browser and a collapsible messenger pane is displayed on the right. For help with in-browser chat in the Pro theme, click the menu button in the bottom-right corner of the messenger pane, and click Online help.
Automatically sign in to Webmail IM in the browser
When you sign in to the Pro theme, this option signs you in to in-browser instant messaging automatically. This option is enabled by default.
Inbox
List Refresh Time
This setting determines how often your Message List will be refreshed. You can also refresh the list by clicking Refresh on the Message List toolbar. The default is 10 minutes.
Messages Per Page
This is the maximum number of messages that will be displayed at any given time in the Message List, from 10 to 500. The default is 50. You can view additional messages by paging through the Message List with the page controls. Larger values can make the list slower to load, especially on slow connections.
Mark as Read on Preview
In both themes, the Message List contains a Message Preview pane that displays whichever message is selected in the list. This option governs how long a message is displayed before it is marked as read in the message list. By default messages are marked as read Immediately when displayed. Change this setting if you wish to be able to preview a message for several seconds without marking it as read. Select Never Mark Read if you do not want the Message Preview pane to cause any messages to be marked as read.
Sort Messages by
Use this control to designate the default method by which messages will be sorted in the Message List. You can choose to sort messages in either ascending or descending order by: Date, Subject, From, To, Size, Flag, or Categories.
See: Sorting the Message List.
View Sender by
This control is for specifying what sender information you wish to display in the Message List: Name (Default), Email Address, or Show All.
Send Read Confirmations
Sometimes incoming messages contain a special header for requesting that an automated message be sent back to the sender to let him or her know when you read the message. Set this option to specify how you want Webmail to handle messages that ask for read confirmations. Set it to No if you do not want Webmail to ever respond to read confirmation requests. Choose Yes if you want Webmail to send read confirmation automatically whenever you open a message that requests it, and choose Prompt if you want to be asked whether or not to send the read confirmation.
This option controls how Webmail will handle messages that you delete from the Message List. Choose Move to Trash (the default) if you wish to move a deleted message to the designated Trash folder. Choose IMAP Delete (Mark as Deleted) (Flag as Deleted in the Pro theme) if you wish to leave the message in the current folder but flag it as deleted by marking a line through it. Depending on your Empty Trash on Sign Out setting below, messages in the Trash folder or flagged for deletion may be permanently deleted when you sign out.
Hide Deleted Messages
When messages are flagged as deleted instead of moved to the Trash, check this box if you wish to hide the messages that are flagged. They will not appear in the Message List. To see any messages that are flagged as deleted you must first uncheck this option. This option is enabled by default.
Mark deleted messages as read
When a message is deleted, it is also marked as read. No read confirmation is sent. This option is disabled by default.
Click this checkbox if you want your Trash folder to be emptied after you sign out of Webmail. If you have chosen "IMAP Delete (Mark as Deleted)" as your Message Deletion option above, then flagged messages will be purged, or permanently deleted.
Display New Messages Count
When this option is enabled, the combined count of new messages in all of your mail folders is displayed in the page title at the top of your browser. This option is enabled by default.
Enable Message List Threading
Check this box if you wish to group messages by conversation. The original message will appear in the Message List. Replies to the original message or to any subsequent messages belonging to the same conversation will appear nested below it in a separate "thread."
Enable Message Snooze
Adds snooze options to the Message List's right-click menu, so that you can set a message aside until later. This option is enabled by default.
Use Auto Formatted Date
This option displays an automatically formatted date for each message in the Message List, rather than displaying a static, numerical date. For example, rather than displaying a date as: "01/12/2021 13:27PM", this option might display: "1:27 pm," "Yesterday 1:27 pm," January 12, 1:27 pm," or the like. This option is enabled by default.
Enable message body snippets
Displays a short snippet of each message's body next to its subject in the Message List. This option is enabled by default.
Display attachments in the message list
Display a message's first two attachments when viewing the Message List in the multi-line view (see Message List Layout). Some attachments are excluded, such as public key signatures.
Messages
Preferred Text Format
Sometimes an incoming message will be available in both plain text and HTML format (used for colors, fonts, bold text, etc.). When reading one of these messages, this is the format in which you want the message to be displayed. Choose HTML (the default) or Plain Text.
This is only applicable to messages that are available in both formats. Messages that are available in a single format will be displayed in the format appropriate to the message.
Print Attachments
By default, when a message has an attachment and you click Print in the Message View, you will be asked if you wish to print the attachment as well. Change this option from Decide on print to Always or Never if you wish to always or never print the attachments, instead of being asked.
Add Replies To Contacts
Check this box if you want a message sender's email address and name to be added to your Contacts when you reply to the message. This option is disabled by default.
Whenever possible, Webmail will display image and text file attachments inline as part of the message. All other attachments will be listed at the bottom. Click this option if you would like attachments that are displayed inline to be included in the list at the bottom as well. Further, the paperclip/attachments icon will not ordinarily appear in the Message List for messages with only inline images. If you enable this option then the icon will appear for those messages as well. This option is disabled by default.
Do Not Block Images for Allowed Senders
Ordinarily when you view a message in Webmail, any inline images it contains will be blocked and you will get a warning message informing you of that at the top of the page. You can then click the warning message to view the images. Click this checkbox if you wish to display those images without a warning when the message is from someone in your Allowed Senders folder or one of your default Contacts.
Do Not Disable Hyperlinks for Allowed Senders
Hyperlinks are disabled automatically in some incoming email messages. In those messages, "Hyperlinks are disabled. Click here to enable them" is displayed at the top of the message window. If you wish to create an exception for messages coming from a sender in your Allowed Senders or default Contacts folders, activate this option. Hyperlinks will not be disabled in messages from those senders.
Display unsubscribe links
Displays unsubscribe links next to the From address in the message headers. This option is enabled by default.
Show Header Details
Check this box to always display the full message header details when viewing a message.
Message Window Closes On Delete
By default when viewing an email message in a pop-up window and you delete the message, the next message in the list will be displayed. Click this option if you want the window to be closed instead, without opening the next message.
Text Reader Voice
Use this option to choose the voice you wish to use for the built-in text-to-voice reader, and click Hear An Audio Sample to hear the selected voice. When viewing a message, click the Read Message or Text Reader icon on the toolbar to read the message. Note: Voices provided by the browser have known issues, and may stop reading after 15 seconds with no error reported. When this happens, clicking the stop button and then playing the message again may temporarily resolve the issue.
Contacts
Default Contacts Folder
Use this option to choose the contacts folder that is displayed when you open Contacts.
Contacts Per Page
This option sets the number of contacts per page that will be displayed in the contacts view. The default is 50. If you have a large address book, choosing to display many or all of the addresses at once will affect how long it will take to display the page.
Email Forwarding
These options are available only if your account is permitted to forward email.
Enable Forwarding
Enable the forwarding option if you wish to forward all of your incoming messages to another email address.
Forward To
Enter the address to forward your messages to. Separate multiple addresses with commas. In the WorldClient theme, click Add From Contacts to choose addresses from your contacts.
Retain a Copy
Check this box if you wish to keep a copy in Webmail of each message that you forward to the other address. Each message will be filtered normally.
