5 - Adjusting the Mozilla Mail Interface

You can easily manipulate the Mozilla Mail Interface to suit your needs.

1. Adjust the window sizes by moving the sidebars and add other options at the top right button of each window.



2 Next we are going to create a message. Click on the “Compose” icon and a new message window will appear. Once again, enter your email address in the To: line, type a subject, and a message body.

3. Mozilla writes emails in HTML and allows you to format text and insert elements as you can when creating a web page. For instance, you can insert emoticons, increase the font size, format the font to bold, etc.

4. Go ahead and Send this message. A warning window will appear – since not all email applications can read HTML mail, you have the option to Send in Plain Text, Send in HTML, and Send in Plain Text and HTML. This warning screen is a good reminder that HTML formatting should usually be avoided as there are indeed others out there who might not be able to receive messages with such formatted text.
