FAQ

Does changing the prefix affect older emails?

Why can’t I find the Reply/Forward Subject Prefix option?

  1. Open WPS Mail and go to Mail Settings from the settings button in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Sending Settings in the left navigation pane.
  3. If the option still does not appear, make sure the mail feature has loaded normally and then reopen the settings page.

What does Use current language mean?

  1. This option applies the subject prefix that matches the current interface language.
  2. If the interface language changes, later replies and forwarded emails follow that current language setting.
