In the illustration above you’ll see the four “system folders”--
Inbox
,
Sent
,
Drafts
, and
Trash
--plus all the folders
you have created to organize your emails, identified by a folder-type icon:
To the right of the folder name, the number of
unread
versus
total
number of messages is shown in
parentheses. In the example above,
Inbox (1/3)
contains three messages, of which one is unread. The
Inbox
is
shown in “expanded” view (its list of emails is showing), with the first message in bold, indicating it is “unread”.
The
Sent
folder contents are collapsed, as are the
Drafts
folder contents (empty folders are always shown
collapsed, of course). The
Trash
folder is shown in expanded view and contains two emails. A personal folder a
user has named
Family
is shown last. It contains 12 unread and 59 total email messages.
