AJAX Interface [ Help

What is the AJAX interface?
The AJAX interface allows you to access a version of the Simple Interface, created in Javascript, that asynchronously loads data from the server - which adds increased speed and browser/OS compatibility. It has most of the features of an in-house client-side interface, thus, adding to the useability of your webmail interface.
One of the major advantages of the Simple Ajax interface is a message cache function within the browser, which avoids the use of reloading the page.
How do I enable the AJAXinterface?
The AJAX interface is automatically enabled when you login with that interface specified. To use the interface IE5.5+ or Firefox/Mozilla 1.X is required, please note this interface is not supported on older browsers.
How do I use the AJAX interface?
When using the AJAX interface, you have access to the following functionalities to manage email messages:
- You can press shift-click in the email pane to highlight a number of messages at the same time. Ctrl+click works as well.
- You can hit the 'delete' key as a keyboard shortcut while highlighting a message subject in the email pane to remove the message.
- Use the top mail-headers to sort emails within the browser, without having to request the messages from the mail-server again.
- Messages read within a folder are cached in the browser, so if requesting the same message again no reloading of the page is required. The first column of the email-row indicates if a message is cached within the browser.
- When replying to a message the compose panel automatically pops up, and does not require a reload of the page.
- Right-clicking on the messages will bring up a pop-up menu containing additional options.

- Pressing the up and down buttons will scroll through the messages in the currently selected mailbox.
- To move messages, highlight the subject line of the message(s) you want to move, and drag it to your desired folder
- Columns for viewing email-messages and the addressbook can be automatically resized. Click the icon in the right-hand corner to choose which columns to display on the page.
