Receiving and Responding to Messages

Receiving New Mail

When Eudora does a mail check, you can be notified of new mail in one or all of the following ways: an alert dialog box, the opening of the mailboxes to which new mail is delivered, and a special “New Mail” sound. These options are turned on or off in the Getting Attention options. For information, see “Getting Attention” on page 221. Also, an envelope appears on the Windows taskbar indicating mail is waiting. See “Background Tasks” on page 222. Click the page number to display the topic.

When you receive notice that new mail has arrived, select Eudora from the Windows task bar. Mail usually arrives in the In mailbox (unless you are using filters to transfer messages). If the In mailbox is not already open, select In from the Mailbox menu. The messages are listed in the order they are received, with the most recent message listed last. Unread messages are designated by a bullet (•) in the Status column of the message summary.

Double-click anywhere on a message summary to open the message. You can also view messages using the message preview pane at the bottom of the mailbox window while the message summary is highlighted.

Incoming messages are saved indefinitely in the In mailbox (or the mailbox into which they are filtered) until they are deleted or transferred to another mailbox.

Incoming Message Window

To open an incoming message, double-click on its message summary in a mailbox window, or if the message summary is current (highlighted), press the spacebar or the Enter key.

Note. You can also view the message in the message preview pane. See “Working with Mailboxes” on page 93 for more details. Click the page number to display the topic.
