Reading Your

E-mail

Messages

You receive e-mail messages automatically, even when your Appliance is turned off. Your messages are stored until you decide to read them. The e-mail waiting indicator light illuminates to let you know when you have mail.

The mail folder lists all of your mail. Think of this as envelopes in your mail box, and each envelope is represented as a line on the page. The information about each mail message is much like the information you find on an envelope.

Tip

Sometimes you can tell from the return e-mail address and the subject that a piece of mail in your folder is junk mail. Junk e-mail is called spam on the Internet. You can delete spam e-mail without opening it by clicking the delete button for that mail.

There are several different ways to get to your mail box:

On the Start Page, find message center in the upper left corner. Click read mail to get to your mail box Web page.
