| 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 |
| 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. |
| 30 | Multiple messages may be moved at once. On the far right side of this bar is |
| 31 | a button used to delete selected messages. Just select the junk mail and |
| 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. |
| 34 | </p><p> |
| 35 | A bar containing three fields (From, Date, and Subject) is next. These headings |
| 36 | separate the message table into logical parts. From tells you who sent |
| 37 | you the message, or at least what email address it came from. Date |
| 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 |
| 42 | attachments; if you see the "A", that means that you have answered the |
| 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 |
| 48 | selected, the message on the same line is subject to the actions previously |
| 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> |
| 52 | Under the From header is listed whom |
| 53 | the message is from. Surprising, we know. But hey, you don't have to read |
| 54 | this. The date is listed next, and finally the subject. |
| 55 | </p> |
| 56 | <p> |
| 57 | If your mailbox contains many messages, the list will by default be split into |
| 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 |
| 62 | all messages will be displayed on one big page. |
