DocumentationEmail & Calendar
Open Core HR can show your Microsoft 365 mailbox and calendar right inside the app, so you can read and send mail and manage events without leaving Open Core HR.
Availability
Email and Calendar work only if your company uses Microsoft 365 and your account is connected to it. If you don't see Email in your menu, it isn't enabled for you — check with your HR or IT team.
Opening Email
Click Email in your menu (it shows an Inbox link and a Calendar link). This opens your mailbox with the inbox selected.
How the screen is laid out
- Folder list (left side): Your mail folders, with Inbox at the top, followed by Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, and any other folders such as Junk Email or Archive. A folder with unread mail shows a small count badge. You can collapse the folder list to icons only with the arrow button at the bottom.
- Compose button: At the top of the folder list, a button with a + icon labelled Compose starts a new message.
- Message list (middle): The messages in the folder you're viewing — sender, subject and a short preview. Unread messages are shown in bold with a green dot. A paperclip means the message has attachments; an orange flag means it's flagged.
- Reading pane (right side): When you click a message, it opens here so you can read it and reply, forward, flag or delete it.
- Calendar: Below the folder list, a Calendar link opens your calendar in a month view.
At the top of the page there's a search box and, on the right, a theme switch and your account menu.
