After
you click on a folder, you will be taken (in the right
frame) to the message index. This lists messages in the
selected folder. Below the menu choice is a line which
informs you which mails you are viewing numerically and
how many total you have.
For
example: Viewing messages 20 to 30 (45 total).
Notice
that the total message count might be different from the
unread mail count which is to the right of the main mail
folder.
A
bar containing four buttons is next. On the left side
is a drop down list box. This box lists your currently
subscribed folders. Any selected message will be moved
to the selected folder when the move button is pushed.
Multiple messages may be moved at once. On the far right
side of this bar is a button used to delete selected messages.
Just select the junk mail and press the button. To the
left of the Delete button are two buttons which allow
you to mark selected messages either as Read or as Unread.
A
bar containing three fields (From, Date, and Subject)
is next. These headings separate the message table into
logical parts. From tells you who sent you the message,
or at least what email address it came from. Date shows
the day which the email was sent. Subject displays what
the sender entered as the subject. Note: Between
the Date and Subject columns is a small column that is
unlabeled. There could be a "+", "!" or an "A" in there.
If you see the "+", that means that the message has attachments;
if you see the "A", that means that you have answered
the message, and if you see the "!", then the message
was marked as urgent!
What
remains is the actual message table. You will notice that
unread messages are bold while viewed messages
are in normal text. Four fields form this table. On the
far left is a select box. When selected, the message on
the same line is subject to the actions previously discussed
(moving, marking (un)read and deletion). The Toggle All
link at the top of the list allows you to check all select
boxes at once.
Under the From header is listed whom the message is from.
Surprising, we know. But hey, you don't have to read this.
The date is listed next, and finally the subject.
If
your mailbox contains many messages, the list will by
default be split into multiple pages and the first page
will be displayed. To view other pages, use the Previous
and Next links at the top and bottom of the message list.
You can also jump to a specific page directly by clicking
one of the numbers (each represents a page). If you click
Show All you will disable the so-called paginating and
all messages will be displayed on one big page.
