Receiving and Reading E-Mail


Windows Mail lets you specify how frequently you want it to check for incoming e-mail, and it notifies you when you receive new mail. You can check your Inbox and see at a glance which messages have and haven't been read, or you can set the view to list unread messages only.

Read Your Messages

Click the Inbox if it isn't the currently active folder.

On the View menu, specify how you want to view your messages:

  • Point to Current View, and choose the type of messages you want displayed.

  • Point to Sort By, and choose the way you want the messages to be ordered.

  • Choose Layout, specify whether and where you want the preview pane displayed, and click OK.

Click a message header, and read the message in the preview pane.

Double-click a message header to read the message in a separate window.

Try This!

On the Read tab of the Options dialog box, click the Fonts button. Click a different font in the Proportional Font list and a different font size in the Font Size list, and click OK. Close the Options dialog box, and take a look at the messages in the preview pane.


Tip

When you start Windows Mail, it checks for your mail, and it checks periodically thereafter while it's running. To receive mail immediately when you don't want to wait for the system to check your mailbox for you, click the Send/Receive button. To change the frequency with which Windows Mail checks for mail, choose Options from the Tools menu, and change the settings on the General tab.
