Motorola P730 manual Sports, Setting the Alert for a Specific Maildrop, Update

Press u to display the Maildrop message. If your pager is equipped with Maildrop history, the next screen is the Maildrop history list. This is a list of up to eight different messages for this maildrop. The most recently received message is displayed first (K), followed by up to seven history messages (U).

Maildrop History List example

Note: Unique to maildrops, when a new message is received, the newest one (K) is displayed at the top of the list. The older message is moved down to one of the history slots and is now displayed with U. When this happens, the older history message is considered to have been read, whether it actually has been or not. If this feature has not been turned on by your service provider, the maildrop history files may not be available on your pager.

If [is pointing to the message you want to read, go to Step 4. Otherwise, press w until the message you want is at the top of the list.

Note: The list moves up; the indicator does not move down.
