Navigating BlueMail

The Unified Inbox

Unified Inbox allows you to manage all your accounts from a single inbox. Colors designate each account so you can visually identify your accounts quickly.

The People View

The People View is a new and original way to view your Inbox and reduce its clutter.
It arranges your emails into three types:

People
Groups
Services

People
Tapping on one of the People will open a list of all your conversations with that person.

Groups
Tapping one of the groups will display all the Group’s email threads.

Services
Opening a Service from the People view will open a list of all the emails you got from that Service.

The display is sorted based on the newest emails to the oldest.

Bottom Bar Icons

	People
	Compose
	Tasks
	More

The Swipe Menu

Swiping the email right reveals two options: Done which allows you to mark an email as Done, and Snooze+ which allows you to select a deferring time from a menu.

Swiping the email left reveals three options: Mark Read / Unread, Archive, and Delete.

You can Configure the Swipe Menus.

Navigating Between Folders

To view the folders for your current account, please tap the top-left corner and a panel with the folders list will be shown underneath the account’s name. You can also see the panel by swiping from the middle left edge of the screen.

We show folders created by your email provider first, followed by your custom folders. Simply swipe down to reveal the remainder of your folder list.

Folders created by your mail provider are called system folders. When using an IMAP account, these cannot be changed or deleted unless you do so with your provider. Here are some examples of system folders:

Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Trash
Spam
Outbox
Archive/All

All other folders are user created and can be renamed, deleted, copied, moved, or created.

Note: The Inbox folder is the only one that syncs regularly, the other folders sync the instant you open them.

Refreshing the Mail List

To refresh the Mail List, pull the screen down (swipe your finger from the top of the screen downwards).

Adding a Signature

With BlueMail you can create your own custom signature.
To do so, please go to More | Signature | scroll to the account you would like to update.

You can design your signature using Bold, Italic and Underline text, change the text font and color, and also add an image.

B / I / U – For Bold, Italic, and Underline text effects
Default – Font Size
Default – Font Type
A – Change Text Color
Embed an image or a logo by tapping this icon

Can’t see some options? Try sliding the menu to reveal other options.

HTML Support is coming soon!

We autofit the signature image so it can render it well on various recipient devices, it is best to use small images (up to 200Kb in size) and moderate dimensions (up to 500×500) if you want to maintain your logo as is.

Note: BlueMail supports still image types (jpeg, png) for the signature image.

Notification Methods and Customization

Notification Methods

Notifications use the notification bar to show a short preview of the email.

Push – To get instant notifications.
Push (No Preview) – To get instant notifications without a preview to reduce battery usage. This will hide the preview from both the notification and the Mail List.
No Push – To disable push notifications, but still see the emails being updated when opening the app.
