Messages in separate windows

Messages can be opened in separate windows that float freely above the workspace. This way, for example, two messages can sit side by side, or one message stays visible while you keep working in the Inbox. Every compose window is also such a window. All windows of the app work the same way.

1. Open the message in the reading pane.
2. In the subject line, choose In eigenem Fenster öffnen (Open in separate window) (or Weitere Aktionen (More actions) › In eigenem Fenster öffnen, or right-click the message in the message list).
3. The window opens at the bottom right of the workspace. Each further window appears slightly offset above it.

The window shows the content of the reading pane: subject with Markieren (Flag) and Drucken (Print), badges, sender, notices, attachments, text and the reply bar with Antworten (Reply), Allen antworten (Reply all) and Weiterleiten (Forward). The reading pane toolbar and the In eigenem Fenster öffnen button are missing. Drucken prints only this window.

Several message windows can be open at the same time. Meanwhile, you can open a different message in the reading pane.

• Title with icon: for a message, the subject (or “(ohne Betreff)”, no subject); for a compose window, the type (“Neue Nachricht” (new message), “Antwort” (reply), “Antwort an alle” (reply to all), “Weiterleitung” (forward), “Entwurf” (draft)) followed by “ · ” and the subject.
• Fenster anordnen (Arrange windows, grid icon): arranges all open windows of the app, see below.
• Minimieren (Minimize, dash): puts the window in the tray at the bottom right.
• Maximieren (Maximize) / Verkleinern (Restore down, arrows): fills the entire workspace or returns the window to its previous size. Double-clicking the title bar does the same.
• Schließen (Close, ×) for a message, or Verwerfen (Discard, ×) for a compose window. When discarding, the app asks for confirmation if something was changed, see Writing an email.

1. Move: grab the title bar with the mouse and drag the window to the desired position. This only works while the window is not maximized.
2. Resize: drag the bottom right corner (tooltip “Größe ändern”, resize). The smallest size is 360 × 280 pixels.
3. Bring to front: click in a window; it then lies above the others.

A new window is 720 × 640 pixels. Compose windows remember their last chosen size in the respective browser.

1. In any window, choose Fenster anordnen (Arrange windows).
2. In the Fenster anordnen menu, choose an arrangement:
   • Nebeneinander (Side by side): all windows at full height next to each other.
   • Im Raster (In a grid): all windows the same size in rows and columns.
   • Gestapelt (Stacked): all windows the same size (at most 640 × 600 pixels) stacked at the bottom right, each offset by 30 pixels.

All non-minimized windows of the app are arranged within the workspace; maximized windows are restored down in the process.

1. In the window header, choose Minimieren (Minimize).
2. The window disappears into the tray at the bottom right. There, each window has a chip with icon and title or subject.
3. Restore: click the chip in the tray.
4. Close or discard: choose the × in the chip. For a changed compose window, the window opens again for this and the “Nachricht verwerfen?” (Discard message?) confirmation appears.

If INGOS Mail runs on the INGOS desktop, the open windows also appear in the menu of the app icon in the dock (right-click or long-press the icon). There you can bring windows to the front or close them; windows with unsaved changes are marked. See INGOS Mail at a glance.

On narrow screens (up to 700 pixels wide), each window fills the entire screen. Moving, resizing, Fenster anordnen (Arrange windows) and Maximieren (Maximize) are not available there. Minimieren (Minimize) and the tray work as described above.
