Working Offline allows you to connect to your mail server, download your message headers, and then disconnect. While offline, you can review the headers and decide which messages you want to read on your palmtop PC. You can also compose messages and replies to messages. The next time you connect, Inbox automatically sends your messages and copies or moves selected messages from the mail server to your palmtop PC.

Viewing the message list

When you open Inbox, along the left side of the message list you see icons representing the four Inbox folders.

This icon

Does this

 

In box

Provides access to all incoming messages from all

 

services to which Inbox connects, and contains

 

stored local messages.

Outbox

Stores messages to be sent until Inbox is connected

 

to a service or the desktop computer.

Sent items

Optionally stores a copy of each message sent. You

 

can select this option in the Compose tab, go to

 

Compose, Options.

Deleted items

Displays delete messages and deletes them according

 

to the options you sent.

You can also create your own folders to organize messages you store in Inbox, as described in “Working in the message list” later in this chapter.

From the message list, you can also mark messages from retrieval from the server, read messages, move messages into folders, and delete messages, as described later in this chapter.

The Inbox message list displays a header from each message, whether it is stored on your mail server or locally.

Note the following when viewing messages in the message list:

A bold header indicates that a message is unread.

An italic header indicates that only the message header has been downloaded.
