The basics: send, reply, archive and delete

Published

Menu names differ between software versions. If a path here does not match your phone, search your Settings app for the setting named in bold — it is the same setting under a different label.

Four actions cover most of what anyone does with mail. Each has more than one route in BlueMail, and it is worth knowing the fast one.

Send an email

Tap Compose, or open a message and choose Reply, Reply All or Forward.

Write the message and tap the send arrow at the top right.

Forward an email

From an open message, use the arrow at the top right and choose Forward, or the 3-dot menu in message view.

Forward can also be put on a swipe action or in the bottom bar if you use it often — see below.

Archive an email

Archiving keeps a message without leaving it in the Inbox, and works on every provider.

Swipe the message in the list, or use the actions along the bottom of an open message.

Delete an email

Same two routes: swipe in the list, or the bottom actions in an open message. Deleted mail goes to Trash, so a mistaken delete is recoverable until Trash is emptied.

Put the actions you use where you can reach them

Settings → Customize menus controls which actions appear on a swipe and which sit in the bottom bar. If you archive constantly and never snooze, that screen is worth two minutes.
