My Emails
A glance-view of the signed-in user's most recent Microsoft 365 inbox, right on the intranet homepage. Unread badge, sender avatars, smart time formatting, attachment and importance indicators. One click into Outlook Web App for the full message. The homepage finally shows each user what's happening to them, not just what's happening in the business.
The Problem
The intranet shows company news. It doesn't show whether you have a message waiting from your manager. So users open a second tab, log into Outlook, scan the inbox, close the tab, come back to SharePoint. Repeat tomorrow. The homepage is generic; the user's actual working day is somewhere else entirely.
The Solution
My Emails surfaces the most recent three to five messages from the signed-in user's inbox right on the SharePoint page. Unread count in the header, preview text under each subject, importance and attachment flags, smart relative timestamps. Click any message to open it in Outlook Web App - the intranet becomes the launchpad for the actual working day.
What Users See
Every Signal a User Needs, Before They Click
Unread count, importance, attachments, smart timing - all visible at a glance. Click any row for the full email in Outlook.
Every Detail That Helps a Scan
Users don't want to read their inbox on SharePoint - they want to glance at it, spot anything urgent, and click through if something needs their attention. My Emails makes that scan take two seconds.
Look at the widget - every visual element is doing a job:

What You Get
Ten small signals that turn an inbox tile into a scannable overview.
Personal Inbox View
Shows the 3, 4 or 5 most recent messages from the signed-in user's Exchange Online inbox. Configurable per web part instance.
Unread Count Badge
A live badge in the header shows exactly how many unread messages are in the current view. No hunting, no guessing.
Unread Visual Indicator
Coloured accent bar on the left edge of every unread row, matched to your site theme colour. Read messages fade to plain - scan-readable in a second.
Sender Avatars
Auto-coloured initials circles identify each sender. No need for profile photos to be set - works out of the box.
Email Preview Text
The first line of the email body appears under each subject. Often tells the user everything they need to know without opening the message.
Smart Time Display
Received time auto-formats: "Just now", "5m ago", "10:34 AM", "Mon", or a full date - whichever is most useful given how long ago the email arrived.
High Importance Indicator
A red dot flags emails marked as high importance. Urgent requests don't get buried in the scan.
Attachment Indicator
A paperclip icon signals emails with file attachments. Users know which messages need a real desk session and which are just a quick read.
One-Click to Outlook Web App
Click any row and the email opens directly in Outlook Web App - new tab by default, configurable. A footer "View all in Outlook" link opens the full inbox.
Responsive and Theme-Aware
Adapts to any column width - one-third sidebar, full-width hero zone, or anything between. Inherits your site theme for accent colours and typography.
