11. E-mail at a Glance: Reading Messages
- Messages are organized in folders or boxes. Received mail is typically kept in an Inbox; outgoing mail is stored in an Outbox; sent mail is filed in a Sent box, and discarded mail may be kept in a Deleted Mail box.
- When you open your e-mail program, it lists the messages in your Inbox. From here you can read, reply to, and manage your e-mail.
- To read an e-mail, you typically double-click the envelope icon or the Subject line of the message. This opens a new window containing the header and body of the message.
- To review mail in other folders or boxes, click or (double-click) the folder. Then click the message that interests you.
