Check out the screenshots below to see some of the new features.
New look and new font face
The webmail has been updated with more colors and a new font face for improved legibility.
2- or 3-pane message preview
You can now preview messages either in a horizontal pane beneath the message list, or to the right of the message list as shown below.
Toggle horizontal/vertical message preview pane
Easily switch between horizontal (2-pane) and vertical (3-pane) message preview with these buttons in the message toolbar.
Message toolbar
There is now a fully featured message toolbar including Reply, Reply all, Forward, Move to folder, Mark read, Mark flagged, Report as spam, and Move to Trash.
On the right hand side you will find message view buttons such as Print, Vertical/Horizontal preview, Full height, and Close.
Adjust message list columns
You can now easily adjust both the folder pane width and the message list column widths by using the sliders as shown.
Otherwise the webmail will automatically adjust the column widths to show as much content as possible.
It look very well…
I’m a good beta tester, if you need.
I continue to be amazed with the Runbox Team. I’m looking forward to the new version and feel you’ve included everything we have available. I’d like to see it easier to format signatures. Sometimes, the fonts don’t stay formatted, but otherwise, Great Job y’all! Love you always!
Thanks for the kind words! 🙂
We have noted your comment on signature formatting for our further development of the Runbox 7 Webmail.
I hope you’re thinking also about all your customers who use Right To Left languages…
Yes, right-to-left languages are supported now, and we’re working to further improve support for languages with special characters.
