Common questions about WPS Mail General Settings on macOS usually focus on when settings take effect, whether they sync across devices, and how offline mail works.
FAQ
Do I need to restart the app after changing General Settings?
- Most general settings take effect right away.
- For display-related changes, return to the message list and check the updated layout.
- If the result is not visible immediately, refresh the current view or reopen the related message window.
Do General Settings sync to other devices?
- Sign in with the same account on the other device.
- Open the corresponding mail interface and check the same settings.
- If the changes do not appear yet, keep the device online and sign in again before checking.
Why can’t I see all older messages after turning on offline mail?
- Offline mail caches the most recent 14 days of message data.
- Make sure the feature is enabled and that caching has completed while you are online.
- Messages outside the cached range need an internet connection to be viewed.
