several built-in color Themes that you can use.
The Custom
Stylesheet option gives you several font options to choose
from.
If English isn't your native tongue, you can easily change the Language displayed on most Web pages.
Although most of Webmail does not rely upon JavaScript, some features, such as the Address Book, do use JavaScript. If your browser supports it (most current ones do) you have the option of using pure HTML or Javascript. If you are sure what your browser will support, choosing Autodetect is a safe way to assure pages will be displayed correctly.

This option turns on or off Enable Forward as Attachment when Reading a message.

When viewing a message, this displays which email e-mail program the sender used.
If someone sends you a message with one or more images attached and you've set this to Yes, the images will be displayed right away when you view the message.
Printer Friendly Clean Display strips out unnecessary content so the message will print better.
This option turns on or off the option in Compose view that enables Mail Delivery Notification. When checked (and if supported by the recipient's e-mail program) you will receive a confirmation e-mail when the recipient receives and/or reads your message.
Compose Messages in New Window will open a new window each time you select the Compose command.

forward a message and include the text from the original message,
you can choose whether you want to Append the Signature before the quoted text or after.

This will Enable Thread Sort by References Header, which can help you better organize your messages by sender in your Message Index. This functions as the
Group/Ungroup by subject and sender link.
The first drop down box enables the Username Box that appears in your Folder List. The second drop down box allows you to customize its placement.

want the Delete, Move, and Next be situated in each window.
This option allows users of Internet Explorer to utilize an Autocomplete function in Compose view that will search your Address Book for matches to the first few letters of the entries you type in your To, CC, or BCC fields. You can choose to match Nicknames and/or Full Names. The option below allows you to specify case-insensitive searches, meaning that Autocomplete will work with either uppercase letters or their lowercase equivalents.
This group of settings provide options for the Notify Popup, which can be launched from a link in your Folder List. You can specify how often in minutes (from 1 to 30) that you want the popup window to query Webmail to see if you have new mail. You can also choose whether or not to play a sound, if you have computer speakers, when new mail arrives.
This check box specifies whether or not you want the Small Calendar to appear at the bottom link of your Folder List.
The remaining options for the Small Calendar in your Folder List control the color scheme for the different days, how the calendar is separated from your other content, what size it is, and which calendar to use if you have multiple Calendars. The Small Calendar has been customized to best fit in with the rest of the interface, so if you would like, you can choose to leave all these options at their defaults.
Be sure to select the
Submit Changes to Options button to save any changes you make on the Display Preferences page. You may have to refresh the window for the changes to take place.
