Change webmail settings

Webmail keeps the settings of the mailbox on screen in tabs. This page covers the General tab, where you set the name and signatures people see and how webmail shows mail to you. It also lists every tab, who sees it and the page that covers it.

• Open the mailbox in webmail.
• The name, reply-to address and signatures of a mailbox belong to whoever manages it. Everyone else changes only their own view settings, as Who sees each tab explains.

Select Settings at the bottom of the folder list, the gear at the top right, or Settings in the account menu. Settings open on the General tab, at www.coritan.com/webmail/settings/general for the mailbox on screen.

Each tab has an address of its own under /webmail/settings/, so you can bookmark one. An address with a tab you do not see opens General. On a narrow screen, the tabs are one row that scrolls sideways.

To go back to your mail, select the arrow beside the Settings heading.

Each person sees the tabs that their access to the mailbox allows.

The owner

You own your coritan.gg mailbox, a mailbox you added to your account, a mailbox an admin gave you, and any mailbox you signed in to with its own password.

Everyone who can send from the mailbox

The owner, and the people it is shared with who Can read, organize and send. People who Can only read it see General and Mailboxes.

Whoever manages the mailbox

Its owner. For a mailbox that no Coritan account owns, everyone who can send from it.

Anyone using webmail through a Coritan account

You are signed in on coritan.com, or signed in to webmail with your coritan.gg address and your Coritan password.

1. On the General tab, under Identities, select Edit… beside the address.
2. In Name, enter the name that the people you write to see.
3. In Reply-to, enter the address that replies should go to, such as alex@example.com. Leave it empty to get replies at the address itself.
4. Select Save changes.

We show Identity saved. The row then shows the name, and Replies go to followed by the address when you set one.

The mailbox sends as its own address and as each alias that delivers to it. When it has more than one, Identities lists them all, the mailbox's own address marked Primary, and each keeps its own name and reply-to address. You pick the address for a message in its From list, as Write and send email in webmail explains.

People who do not manage the mailbox see the list without Edit….

A mailbox keeps up to 20 signatures. Each address starts new mail with one of them, and replies and forwards with another.

1. On the General tab, under Signatures, select New signature.
2. In Name, name the signature, such as Work, then write it in Signature.
3. Under Starts with, choose a signature for each address: one for New mail and one for Replies and forwards. Choose No signature for none.
4. Select Save signatures.

We show Signatures saved. To change a signature, select it in the list, edit it, then select Save signatures. To remove the one you have open, select Delete this signature, then Save signatures.

As you write a message, its Signature menu swaps in another signature for that message only.

People who do not manage the mailbox see which signatures it has but cannot change them. They pick one for each message from the Signature menu.

These settings sit under Reading and sending on the General tab.

Undo send

How long you have to take back a sent message: Off, 5 s, 10 s, 20 s or 30 s. It is 5 seconds unless you change it. See Undo a send.

Density

Comfortable or Compact, which fits more conversations on the screen. Comfortable is the default.

Images in messages

Ask first hides the pictures that a message loads from the web until you choose to show them, which keeps senders from seeing when you open it. Always show shows them straight away. Ask first is the default.

Desktop notifications

Tells you of new mail while the webmail tab is in the background. It is off until you turn it on, and the browser asks for your permission the first time.

With the webmail closed

Tells you of this mailbox's new mail on this browser even when no webmail tab is open. It shows only in a browser that supports it, and you turn it on in each browser for each mailbox.

Always show images from

The senders whose images you chose to show every time. Select the cross beside a sender to ask first again.

For a mailbox shared with you, Undo send, Density and Desktop notifications are your own, and the owner keeps theirs. Images in messages and Always show images from are the mailbox's, so only whoever manages it can change them.

Could not load your settings

Webmail could not read the mailbox's settings from the mail server. Select Try again.

There is no Edit… button, or no way to change the signatures

You do not manage the mailbox. Ask its owner to make the change.

Enter an email address such as name@example.com.

The Reply-to address is not complete. Enter a whole address, or leave the field empty.

This mailbox can no longer send as alex@example.com, so these changes cannot be saved.

The alias behind that address no longer delivers to the mailbox. Whoever manages the Mail Hosting service can add it again. Select Close.

This signature is too long to save. Shorten it, or take out an image or some formatting.

A signature holds about 20,000 characters, formatting included. Shorten it, then select Save signatures again.

New signature is greyed out

The mailbox has 20 signatures, which is as many as it keeps. Delete one you no longer use, select Save signatures, then add the new one.

The browser is blocking notifications for this page. Allow them in its site settings, then turn this on again.

Allow notifications for www.coritan.com in the browser's site settings, then turn Desktop notifications on again.

Images in messages goes back to Ask first

The mailbox was shared with you, and only whoever manages it changes this setting.
