Browse Email Screen
The Browse Email screen is your main view into the Email application:
The Browse Email screen lists all your emails, grouped into folders, ordered by date. (Read more about ordering
this list in
Sort Email Messages
on page 92.)
In the illustration above you’ll see the five “system folders”--
Inbox
,
Saved
,
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, if it has unread messages, the number of
unread
messages is shown in
parentheses. In the example above,
Inbox (1)
contains one unread message. The
Inbox
is shown in “expanded”
view (its list of emails is showing), with the first message in bold, indicating it is “unread”. The Saved folder is
shown collapsed. 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.
As shown in the illustration above, individual emails are grouped in collapsible folder lists. To open (expand) a
folder’s list of emails, scroll to highlight the folder name, then press the wheel. To collapse the list, press again.
Press again to expand, etc.
Tip:
To scroll quickly between folders, press the ALT key while using the D-pad up and down arrows.
To open an individual email, scroll to highlight the email, then press the wheel. To learn more about reading your
email, read
View Your Email
on page 91. To learn about adding folders, read
Manage Email Folders
on page 102.
To the left of items in the Browse Email screen, there could be an icon that indicates the status of a message. To
interpret these icons, as well as understand the folder icons, read
Status Indicators
on page 89.
