The General Settings section allows you to adjust the default look of an email. This article describes the following setting options available in this section.
Select setting options from the General Settings drop-down menu.
The default email width is 600px, currently the most common size.
Padding around an email refers to the space between the email content and the email's border or the container in which the email is placed. It's the area between the content and the edge of the email, which can be filled with a background color or left empty.
Adding padding around an email creates a visually appealing and balanced design by creating enough white space around the email content.
The email background color refers to the color applied to the background of an email message. It's the color that fills the entire area behind the email content.
A font drop-down allows the user to select a default font for the email text.
The line spacing setting allows users to adjust the vertical spacing between lines of text in an email message.

When the Underlined Links toggle is ON, hyperlinks in an electronic document, such as an email or web page, are visually indicated by a line underneath the text to signify that it is clickable and will lead to another location or resource.
When the Underlined Links toggle is OFF, hyperlinks in an electronic document, such as an email or web page, will not be visually indicated by a line underneath the text.
The Responsive Design toggle is a web design and development approach that allows websites and applications to adapt and optimize their layout and functionality based on the device and screen size used to view them. We recommend leaving this toggle ON to ensure visibility on mobile devices and tablets.
The email background image allows users to apply an image as the background of an email message. It's the image that will fill the entire area behind the email content.
The default Background Image toggle is OFF.
Turning the Background Image toggle to ON opens the options to add a background image.
The options include the following:
Upload an image.
Add a link to an image.
Access stock images using the search feature to find images through keyword searches.
Change selected images.
Edit a selected image.
Set the Repeat Image toggle.
Turning the Repeat Image Toggle ON centers one image and replicates additional images as necessary on both sides of the image based on screen size.
Turning the Repeat Image Toggle OFF makes the image the background and adds the background color for any space remaining on both sides of the image based on the screen size.
Adjusting the Position X and Y options allows users to determine the background image's exact horizontal and vertical placement.
Some email clients (Windows 10 Mail, Android 4.4, Gmail app on iOS, and Android with non-Gmail account) won't support a background image. As a backup, we recommend selecting a background color similar to the one in the image. |
