Understanding your E-mail Folder Columns
You will see a variety of symbols beside your e-mails in
your Inbox and Sent Items folder marking the status and special features of
messages, these are shown below.
The envelope in the second column changes to indicate the
status
of
an e-mail message. The possible
variations are as follows:
|
|
E-mail has not been read |
|
|
E-mail has been read |
|
|
E-mail has been replied to |
|
|
E-mail has been forwarded |
The other columns in the folder show the sender of the
e-mail, the subject and the time and date it was received.
You can add extra columns to folders by clicking your right mouse button
over any of the grey column headings and selecting Field Chooser
from
the menu that appears as below:
When you have chosen this item the field chooser window
will appear and you can drag items into the column heading area to a
dd new columns.
To s
ort your columns you
simply have to click on the grey header at the top of the column you want
sorted. This will alternately sort
ascending and descending as you click. If
you accidentally click a column heading and can’t see all your recent e-mails
(e.g. you have accidentally sorted by sender’s name), simply click on the top
of the received column until it is sorted with most recent e-mails at the top.
