When you first open Email, you will see the “Folders” view which
displays your mailboxes, folders and messages. The “Local”
folders (on the left) are stored on your netBook, so you can
create and view messages in these folders when you aren’t
connected.
If you have set up an email account, a “Remote” mailbox will be
displayed
(with the name you gave your account) below the
Local folders. When people send email messages to you, they will
be kept in the Remote mailbox until the next time you connect to
it. When you connect, you can transfer (or ‘download’) messages
from your Remote mailbox to the Local folders on your netBook.
Note: If you haven’t set up an email account yet, see ‘To find out
more’ at the end of this chapter for details.
