Email is more interactive

In Connections Mail, you can interact with applications such as Files, from within some emails.

For example, when someone shares a file with you in Files, you receive an email notification. In Connections Mail, you can like or comment on that file from within the notification.

When you get a notification that someone wants to join your Profiles network, you can open the person's profile, or accept or reject their request from within the notification. And if they post on your wall, you can like the post or reply to the comment from the notification as well.

In Connections Mail, you can do the following tasks, directly in email:

Preview image files
Open someone's profile page
Reshare a file if you have access
Follow or stop following a person or file
Accept or reject a request to join your network
See, like, and comment on files, status updates, and wall posts
Sort, add, edit, or delete comments on a file or wall post that you own, and more!
