The Mail and Calendar applications in Windows 10 help you keep your email up to date, manage your schedule, and keep in touch with the people that matter most to you. Designed for work and home, these applications help you communicate quickly and focus on what’s important in all your accounts. Supports Office 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo! and other popular accounts.
If you have a touch screen, you can run your finger over your messages to perform any of the following actions: set/delete flag, mark as read/unread, archive, delete, move or move to trash can
In this tutorial, you will learn how to enable or disable and change the scanning actions in the message list of the email application for your account in Windows 10.
So there are two quick actions you can perform by sliding your finger across the screen. If you try these actions with your mouse, it won’t work. This is an advantage of having a touch screen.
You can actually configure which action these left and right scan movements should perform respectively. Even if you like the actions the way they are, it’s worth checking the options available.
Click on the cogwheel icon in the lower left corner of the Mail app, and then select the options in the settings window that opens on the right side of the mail window.
