17 | After you click on a folder, you will be taken (in the right frame) to the |
18 | message index. This lists messages in the selected folder. Below the |
19 | menu choice is a line which informs you which mails you are viewing |
20 | numerically and how many total you have. |
21 | </p><p> |
22 | For example: Viewing messages <B>20</B> to <B>30</B> (45 total). |
23 | </p><p> |
24 | Notice that the total message count might be different from the unread |
25 | mail count which is to the right of the main mail folder. |
26 | </p><p> |

27 | A bar containing four buttons is next. On the left side is a drop down |
384c5b78 |
28 | list box. This box lists your currently subscribed folders. Any selected |
29 | message will be moved to the selected folder when the move button is pushed. |
2e8b1b85 |
30 | Multiple messages may be moved at once. On the far right side of this bar is |
384c5b78 |
31 | a button used to delete selected messages. Just select the junk mail and |
2e8b1b85 |
32 | press the button. To the left of the Delete button are two buttons which |
33 | allow you to mark selected messages either as Read or as Unread. |

35 | A bar containing three fields (From, Date, and Subject) is next. These headings |
384c5b78 |
36 | separate the message table into logical parts. From tells you who sent |
6205dc7d |
37 | you the message, or at least what email address it came from. Date |
384c5b78 |
38 | shows the day which the email was sent. Subject displays what the sender |
39 | entered as the subject. <b>Note:</b> Between the Date and Subject |
40 | columns is a small column that is unlabeled. There could be a "+", "!" |
41 | or an "A" in there. If you see the "+", that means that the message has |
6205dc7d |
42 | attachments; if you see the "A", that means that you have answered the |
384c5b78 |
43 | message, and if you see the "!", then the message was marked as urgent! |
44 | </p><p> |
45 | What remains is the actual message table. You will notice that unread |
46 | messages are <B>bold</B> while viewed messages are in normal text. |
47 | Four fields form this table. On the far left is a select box. When |
6205dc7d |
48 | selected, the message on the same line is subject to the actions previously |
2e8b1b85 |
49 | discussed (moving, marking (un)read and deletion). |
50 | The Toggle All link at the top of the list allows you to check all |
51 | select boxes at once.<BR> |
13056cde |
52 | Under the From header is listed whom |
384c5b78 |
53 | the message is from. Surprising, we know. But hey, you don't have to read |
6205dc7d |
54 | this. The date is listed next, and finally the subject. |

57 | If your mailbox contains many messages, the list will by default be split into |
13056cde |
58 | multiple pages and the first page will be displayed. To view other pages, use the |
59 | Previous and Next links at the top and bottom of the message list. You can also |
60 | jump to a specific page directly by clicking one of the numbers (each represents |
61 | a page). If you click Show All you will disable the so-called paginating and |
2e8b1b85 |
62 | all messages will be displayed on one big page. |
