Read messages and attachments

Select a mailbox, then select a message. Horcrux displays ordinary headers and either plain text or HTML. Remote images remain blocked unless you allow them for that message or the current browser session.

Attachments appear as rows with their name and size. You can open an attachment or save it to a location you choose. For a local Backup Location, Show in Finder reveals the saved .eml file.

If a message is marked Missing from source, see how to restore a deleted message.
