The webmail is available in numerous languages. When accessing the webmail application, the language is automatically set from your computer's operating system language. You can change this value by selecting from the drop down list.
Anywhere that dates are displayed will be automatically translated into your local time zone. If you leave this option to "Auto", the system uses your computer's time zone settings. You may change this value by selecting a specific time zone from the drop down list.
Select how time (hours, minutes) are displayed.
Select the format how dates should be displayed.
With this option checked, dates close to today will be translated into relative terms like “Today”, “Yesterday”, etc.
Set the frequency that you want the system to check for updates (e.g. for new messages arrived).
Choose the visual appearance of the user interface from a selection of themes.
You can register this webmail application to be opened whenever you click an email link somewhere on the web. As an example, when you are on a webpage and you click on an email address, this webmail application is added to the available email clients where you can launch the application.

With this option checked, double checking the message in the email view will open the message in a new window instead of the current browser window/tab.
Check this option to display formatted messages as the sender intended it. When disabled, formatted emails will be converted to plain text.
Formatted (HTML) messages can contain references to images which have to be loaded from a remote server. That can harm your privacy and reveal to the sender that you opened the message. This technique is often used by spammers to verify that your email address works and you can be sent more spam.
Check this option if you want image attachments being displayed below the message text.
This option controls whether the screen should continue to the next message in the list when opening an email message (not in the preview pane) and then move or delete it.
