In Haiku, a mail_daemon running in the background is responsible for retrieving and sending emails from/to your email accounts. Emails are kept as separate files with a number of attributes, e.g. To, From, Subject, Thread etc., that are automatically filled from the email headers. Accounts, email file locations and other settings for receiving/sending are configured in the E-mail preferences.

-

Once your mails are downloaded from your provider's server, you can create custom queries to quickly find specific mails. Double-clicking a mail launches the preferred mail application, by default Mail.

When opening an email or creating a new one, Mail's window shows above the body of the mail the usual email header fields: recepient (To), sender account (From), encoding setting (Encoding), subject line (Subject), carbon copy (CC) and blind carbon copy (BCC).

-

When creating a new mail, To, CC and BCC are drop-down menus that hold the entries of your person files, see topic People.
