The WikMail Engine Room

The above screenshot shows the WikMail Mail Client. This is were you will normally look to read received emails. You can organize how you want to have your messages displayed, and create, delete or rename your mail boxes.

The mailboxes list is displayed on the left side of the main window. To access a mailbox, just click on the mailbox name to access it.

The mailboxes and the folders:

  • Each mailbox and folder always has a unique name.
  • The mailboxes contain only messages.
  • The folders contain only mailboxes.
  • There's 5 default mailboxes that cannot be moved, renamed and/or deleted (Inbox, Outbox, Deleted items, Spambox and Draft) To create, modify and delete folders and mailboxes: Right click on the list.. a small popup menu will be displayed.
  • To create a new mailbox: Choose "New", input a unique name and click the button 'Accept'
  • To create a new folder: Choose "New", input a unique name, check the choice "Make it a folder" and click the button 'Accept'. Once they are created, you can reorganize them the way you want by using the dragdrop.

    The Inbox

    By default, every message received is saved in this mailbox. However, this behavior can be modified according to the mail accounts settings, the messages rules, email to mailbox assignment and/or spam rules. So you have the oportunity to say where a mail is stored when it arrives by adjusting the settings in the WikMail Mlail Client.

    Settings

    go to top

    wikmail-world There are a lot of settings that can be made according to your personal choice.

    Use Internal viewer.

    As I have indicated in the screenshot to the left, in order to be able to view attachments using the internal viewer you must select 'Mail Client' in the Program Settings and tick the boxes shown. (The program settings are found within the 'Settings' tab at the top, left of the Mail client.) When you receive an email and an attachment is shown at the bottom of the email, click on the attachment and it will open in the Internal Viewer. If the attachment is a .zip or .rar compressed file you can click on a file in the zip list and it will also open in the Viewer. There are many other settings to set according to your needs in the Mail Client, including:

  • WikMail news and RssFeeds displayed in scrolling ticker bands. The ticker is displayed between the list of emails received and message text in the Mail Client. The top band displays WikMail news including Program Updates/new releases and website links relating to the WikMail program. The bottom band scrolls your selected Rss Feeds i.e.CNN News. Up to 5 of your favourate Rss Feeds can be selected to show here. The Ticker can be turned off and on using the F9 key on your key board. wikmail-world
  • Mail accounts settings.
  • Messages rules.
  • Anti-Spam filters settings.
  • Email address to mailbox assignment.
  • Color assignment settings and Signatures.

    • Anti Phishing

    This is a security option. Email messages can contain fraudulent methods in order to get personal information from you. For your security, we strongly suggest that this option is enabled. WikMail is set by default to warn you when there are clickable links etc in mails that could be harmful if clicked. You can disable this setting or when you know the site is safe and you can trust any links displayed, then you can display the message normally by clicking on the 'Links' button on the right side at the top of the message preview.

    Attachments

    wikmail-worldJust remember, that it is very easy to 'invite' a virus into your computer, simply by opening an attachment sent in an email from someone you do not know. People who send these attachments choose words in the mail or subject line, that trick you into believing it is from a friend or someone you know. So be alert, and never open an attachment unless you are absolutely sure that it is safe to do so.
