Inbox & Reading Mail
-
Your new messages are automatically stored in your Inbox (unless they have been
filtered). Managing the messages in your Inbox and
in all other folders, is reviewed in this section.
Note: Messages that arrive in your Inbox can only be read
through our service and cannot be viewed in an offline mailer.
- Opening the Inbox
Click Inbox in the menu bar. The Inbox page opens, displaying the list of
messages currently in you Inbox folder. The list of messages in your Inbox and
in all other folders, is referred to as the Message List.
Message List
The following information is displayed for each message in the Message List:
- Indication of a New (unread) message.
- Who the message is From (the sender).
- The Date it was sent.
- The Size of the message (in Kilobytes).
- The Subject of the message (if one was included).
- New messages are received in your Inbox and are listed, sorted by date. Your
messages can be sorted by any of the fields listed above, by simply clicking on any of the
sort buttons, which appear directly above your message listing.
For example, click on the From sort button and your listing will be sorted by
sender name in alphabetical order.
Notes:
- Messages which have been filtered using Administration or
Red List Safety rules, will not appear in your Inbox.
- Size is included in order to help you control the size and manageability
of your mail account. We suggest you continuously maintain your mailbox by deleting large
messages and messages with attachments, immediately after reading them.
