NICeMail Suite Apps

NICeMail has a set of apps, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Contacts, Bookmarks, and Resources that are part of the NICeMail Suite. You can navigate to these applications using the icons on the extreme left pane. 

Multiple Tabs View 

NICeMail supports multiple tabs view. By default, the current application is listed in the First or Default tab. The Search results, Settings, Attachment Viewer, Composer all open in new tabs, to effectively manage multi-tasking inside Webmail, without losing the context. 

Similarly, when you have attachments like documents or spreadsheets in an email, you can also view them in a new tab.

Email Listing

Email listing is the area where the emails are listed based on the selected Folder/ Label/ View/ Search. The emails can be sorted and searched in this area. 

You can also drag and drop the messages from the Email listing to various folders to move them, or over Tags to apply tags. The attachments in an email can be accessed directly from the Attachment Viewer and perform quick actions over the attachment. 

Preview pane

You can use the horizontal or vertical preview pane to view the emails along with the email listing. The preview pane is the easiest way to navigate through the emails using up and down keys in the email listing. 

You can choose 'Open in Tab' to view the emails in a tab, instead of the preview pane. 

Search Bar

You can provide some terms to locate the emails you look for. The Auto-Fill helps you to quickly fill the email address to search based on the contacts. You can also use the Advanced Search option to search for emails by providing multiple conditions for a more precise search.
