Managing E-mail Messages

Here are some tips for managing your e-mail messages, which can make it easier to access and organize your Inbox.

  • Create additional folders to organize and store your messages. Having a large number of messages stored in the Inbox can slow down Webmail's response time. Click the Folders icon at the top of the Mail pages to display a list of current folders and the Folder Navigator. You can create, rename, empty, and delete folders, and mark all messages in a folder as read. Use the pulldown menu in the upper right corner to switch from one folder to another.
  • Deleting your e-mail messages does not automatically remove them from the mail server. To ensure you stay within your mailbox size quota, purge your deleted messages regularly.
  • You can read your messages in either flat or threaded formats.
  • You can filter your messages. This is useful if you want to automatically organize e-mail messages from a specific recipient or about a specific subject.
  • You can manage your folder subscriptions to public or private IMAP folders.
  • Use the Address Book to organize the e-mail addresses for your contacts. You can add addresses manually or import them from a file.
