DoliPlus’s three-column email interface displays folders, message list and message content side by side. This lets you read emails faster without switching screens. In DoliPlus webmail (based on Roundcube), this layout corresponds to Widescreen mode, which provides a three-column view.

Three-column email: Widescreen mode

The three-column layout offers smooth reading. On one side your folders, in the centre your message list, and on the right the reading pane where selected messages open. You choose this mode in Settings → Preferences → Email Display, under Layout. Three options are available: List (no preview pane), Widescreen (three-column view) and Desktop (wide list with message preview below). You can also show/hide the preview pane and select which columns appear in the list.

Attachment display

Attachment presentation adapts to your chosen layout. In three-column mode (Widescreen), attachments appear at the end of messages. In Desktop mode (preview below list), they also appear at the end, with content then displaying at full width.

Printing messages in landscape

Depending on content, landscape mode can sometimes simplify printing from your browser. Options differ between Chrome and Firefox, but both support it.

Why choose three-column email?

A well-organised inbox saves time daily. Three-column email keeps everything visible without unnecessary clicks.

You gain on three fronts:

  • Faster reading: folders, list and message stay visible together
