UMail.NET allows you to change a system interface by using different themes. The "theme" term is used in UMail.NET in a similar way with how Windows XP use it. It determines visual style and a color spectrum for the interface units (buttons, menus, windows, boards).
To change the theme follow these steps:

• Go to the "Settings" page
• Open "User / Language and view"
• Choose a new theme and click "Save settings"

If you are not able to check your mail for a while (if you’re on vacation for example) you can activate the auto-responding option on the page "Settings / Mail / Autoresponder".
In case your autoresponder is activated, the system replies to all of your incoming messages. You can enter the text of a reply on the same page; for example, "Hello. I'm in vacation till...".

If your internet connection is slow or expensive, you may want to deactivate automatic message loading. You can do this on the settings page when you choose "Mail / Message reading".
If this option is deactivated, message text is already not loading automatically when you choose it in a list. You can load a message manually by clicking a corresponding button on a view panel.

For a quick search for a message, click the "Filter" button on a toolbar, enter your search text in the search field and press "Enter". A message list will appear with just the letters containing the entered text in the "From", "To" and "Headline" fields.
To see a complete list just close filter panel. This option is available for the "Contacts" page too.

You may use you personal info page ( http://username.umail.net ) as a feedback form for your website. Just embed a button or a link saying "Contact me" on your website and use your personal info page URL. You may use a picture for the button; this you can find on the page "Settings->User->My buttons".
An example of html code to embed on your web site:

<a href="http://www.connor.umail.net" title="Contact me" target="_blank"><img src="http://btn.umail.net/img/88x31/s102/5/ua.gif" border="0" /></a>

You can indicate a subject for messages sent from your personal info page. To do this, add a parameter subject to the link address.
Example:

<a href="http://www.pupkin.umail.net?subject=From%20my%20web-site" title="Contact me" target="_blank"><img src="http://btn.umail.net/img/88x31/s102/5/ua.gif" border="0" /></a>

You can use the following shortcut keys when working with UMail.NET:

Ctrl+S	You can use it everywhere to save changes.
Ctrl+Enter	Use this key combination to send a message.

You can add a recipient with a name *@domain to your address book; in this case, any message sent from this domain will go to your "Inbox" folder, even if the address is not in your address book.
