Help article setting options for new webmail (PC)
I have written a help article for webmail here, where various setting options are summarized. Important, I am not a Swisscom employee and have written this article voluntarily in the hope of being able to help other customers. So gossiping about the new webmail here is unfair. However, questions and suggestions are welcome.
1. Switch between different addresses
To switch between different addresses, click on the profile button at the top right. In my example this is now an image. But that can also be 1 or 2 letters. The other addresses are listed at the bottom.
2. Mark and delete multiple emails
There are various solutions for selecting multiple emails
- Hold down CTRL and select the emails individually. Ideal if you want to select individual emails in your inbox.
- Hold down Shift and click on the first or last email. This way an entire block is marked.
- Activate checkboxes. To do this, click on the gear and then select control fields below like I did (importantly, you can only choose one option here)
With DEL you can now delete the emails. You can also move the emails to an archive folder using drag and drop. Important the archive does not relieve storage space, but only serves to provide clarity within the actively managed mail folders.
3. Show date and time
To display the date and time of the emails, click on the gear and then select All Settings at the top:
In the new window, open the Reading section by clicking on the box:
Now you will find various options:
Here you can now activate and deactivate the desired option(s). In the box (framed in red by me) you can see a preview of what it will look like in webmail.
4. Show message size
To display the message size of the emails, click on the gear and then select All Settings at the top:
Now you will find various options:
Here you can now activate and deactivate the desired option(s). In the box (framed in red by me) you can see a preview of what it will look like in webmail.
5. Disable text preview:
To deactivate the text preview, click on the gear and then select All Settings at the top:
Now you will find various options:
Here you can now activate and deactivate the desired option(s). In the box (framed in red by me) you can see a preview of what it will look like in webmail. In my example, text preview is already disabled.
6. Copy address books:
In the new webmail, each address has its own address book. However, you can easily export the address book of one address and import it again for another address.
First, exporting:
- Open the address book by clicking on the corresponding icon in webmail =>
- Select the desired address book on the left (collected addresses or contacts)
- Press the icon…
- Select Export
- Click export
- Save vcf file to computer
And then importing:
- Open the address book by clicking on the corresponding icon in webmail =>
- Select the desired address book on the left (collected addresses or contacts)
- Press the icon…
- Select Import
- Select upload file
- Select the corresponding vcf file on the PC
- Select Import
- The actual import can then take a few moments
