MailCOPA Multi User Email Software - Main Window

Top  Previous  Next

A large range of viewing possibilities are available in Version 8.02, all managed in this Main Window.

NOTE that the window configuration is stored locally and will not be available if the same MailCOPA User logs in from another computer, nor if a different Windows User is used on the local machine (it is stored in the Registry).

The following panes are available in the Main Window (they may be added or removed from View menu-arrow Windows):

Folders List
Messages List
Quick Viewer
Connect Log
Mail Received

Each pane can be displayed or hidden, and if displayed can be in one of the following states:

State & Explanation

How to Achieve

How to Cancel

Docked (the default state) - the panes remain in fixed positions. Their sizes can be varied by the user.

See restore the default layout

See the other states below.

Auto-Hide - the pane slides out of view when the cursor is not over it, but returns to occupy the space set by the user when its tab is moused over.

Click the pin icon

Click the pin1 icon

Undocked - the window exists independently, and may be placed anywhere

Drag and drop the title bar of the window.

 

To avoid a window docking when you are dragging it, hold down the CTRL key.

Drag and drop into the new position you want.

Maximised - the pane fills a large part of the available display area.

Click the max icon

Click the norm icon

Tabbed - panes are arranged behind each other, and may be brought to the front by clicking on its tab.

Drag the pane with its title bar over another window.

 

 

Drag elsewhere using the title bar. If all else fails, restore the default layout.

Completely detached, so that they can be dragged out of the Main Window completely, to another part of the desktop.

 

This is effectively an extended use of the Undocked state.

 

Drag the title bar

Drag back to the main window with the title bar. If all else fails, restore the default layout.

 

If you are unable to get the display back to its default state, select View menu-arrow Windows menu-arrow Restore Default Layout.

Auto-Hide

In the image below, the Folders pane is currently hidden, but it can be temporarily restored to view by moving the mouse over the Folders tab on the left. If the mouse is moved from the Folders pane, it will automatically hide itself again.

Try moving your mouse pointer over the Folders tab.

 

Maximised

In the image below, the Messages List has been maximised so that it occupies its own space and that previously occupied by the Quick Viewer.

It may be returned to its usual state by clicking its norm icon.

Tabbed

In the image below, the Messages List and Folders List have been tabbed together, and each may be viewed by clicking on their tab.

Undocked

In the image below, the Folders pane has been dragged completely out of the Main Window - another application could be placed over the Main Window, and if new mail appeared in a folder, a click on that folder would bring the Main Window to the front, with the list of messages in that folder displayed.
