Printing emails and other items

The print preview shows the result before you print to paper or generate a PDF file.

Open the print preview

  1. Select an email, an appointment, a contact, a task or a note. You can also open a suitable view.
  2. Choose Print or press Ctrl+P.
  3. Select Selection or Current view, print style and template. Wait until the preview is fully rendered.
  4. Check pages and content. Then print or save the output as a PDF.

Calendar and private details

Day, work week, week, month and agenda are available for calendars. Set the time range and hide private details if necessary. Check recipients and content before you share a PDF file.

Images in emails

If external images are missing, netMail will ask whether it may load them for printing. You can agree, proceed without reloading, or cancel. Formatting, tables and existing images are taken into account in the output.

Custom templates

You can edit a template and save your print settings as the default. Templates contain layout and data fields; they are not copies of your emails. Test a modified template first with a non-confidential example.
