Managing Messages

You can listen to messages, then forward them, reply to them, or delete them.

Listening to Messages

You will use Amanda primarily to listen to and send messages.

Usually, Amanda plays messages in the order that they were received (oldest 
to newest). She makes an exception for urgent messages, playing them in 
newest to oldest order and prior to any other messages. 

Normally, messages are saved until you delete them, so delete old messages 
from your mailbox as soon as possible.

Your Amanda system may have been configured differently. For example, it 
may play new messages first or purge old messages after a number of days. 
Check with your administrator.
