Viewing email details

The email detail screen shows more detailed information about an email.
You can view a summary of email details by opening an email and tapping on the ⓘ button in the top of the email or the email list screen. You can also show the details in the action menu (circle with 3 dots button) when viewing an email or in the folder list view. Select the Details menu item.
The details button can also be shown in the email list view. Edit this setting in the email appearance section of the app preferences. View

There are several sections in the email details screen.

Spam Suggestions
If the email is spam then this section displays suggestions on how to block other emails like this. More Details


Email Details
This section shows a summary of the information about this email.

Received
This is the time that the email was received by your email server.

Sent
This is the time that the email was sent by the sender.

Time zone
The time zone can display the local timezone for the sender. The time zone can also be from the email server that the email was sent from so it is not always the actual user time zone.

External images
This is a list of images in an email that are loaded from a remote server.

Possible Trackers
Trackers are remote images that look like they track when emails are opened. These are usually hidden inside an email and send a read receipt to the sender. You can turn off external images and trackers using the 'Load Remote Images' setting. View

Location
This displays the location where the email was first sent from. This is usually the email server that was used to send an email so it can sometimes be different from the actual sender location.

You can tap on the '...' button beside the location title to fetch the location and then you can see it on a map.

Note: Your personal information is never shared by AltaMail. The location search uses the information already available inside an email that is inserted by the sender's email servers.

Web Page Links
This displays a list of all web page links in an email. You can see the labels and the actual web address that would be opened when you tap on it.
If you see a warning icon then the email is probably hiding a different web address beneath the web address that it shows you. This can happen in phishing emails.


Contact
The Contact section displays contact details about the sender. If the sender is not a contact then you can add them to your address book with the buttons at the bottom of this section.
If you have enabled the contact avatar icon then you can tap on the icon displayed in this section to copy it and use it elsewhere. The contact icon is added to your address book if you use the button to add the sender's contact details as a new or merged contact.


Spam Analysis
