|
|
 |
| 2)Examine the Folder List at the top-left of the screen. Your 'Local Folders', as their name would suggest, are stored locally on your PC. (Messages in your local folders do NOT count towards your mail quota) |
| 3)The folders at the bottom of the screen contain all your server-based mail. Messages in these folders contribute to your mail quota. As you have a fixed amount of space on the server it is important to monitor the amount of mail in these directories to ensure your account does not go.'Over Quota'. A go.d rule of thumb is to move any messages that are more than a month old to your local folders group. For assistance transferring mail please read below. |

 |
| 4)Open your server-based 'Inbox' so you can see your messages |
| 5)Select the messages you would like to move to your local folders |
| 6)Drag the messages to the appropriate folder in your local folders group |
|
|
 |
7)Any mail moved from your Inbox will have
its status changed to 'Deleted', but will not disappear
from your Inbox until it has been purged. Deleted messages that are
waiting to be purged, appear as above, with a cross ( ) next to them. |
| 8)To purge your deleted mail open the 'Message' menu, and |
| 9)Select 'Purge Messages' - all mail in a status of 'Deleted' will be removed from your Inbox |

Creating Sub-Folders |

| 2)Select 'New ...' from the drop list |
|
|
 |
| 3)Enter a name for the folder |
| 4)Place a tick in the 'Make it a folder' checkbox and |
