- **Recent activity** lets you know when your emails were opened or links were clicked.
- **Attachments** lists all attachments for all emails in the conversation. Click on an attachment to preview it and download it in one click.
- **Related emails** suggests connected emails from your inbox based on sender, subject, or campaign. This is useful for quickly recovering prior context on an exchange.
