File Away Message
Messages in the mailbox can be “filed” into other folders with the “File Away” command.
By default, incoming messages are placed into the system folder “INBOX”. However, to aid in the
management and tracking of potentially large amounts of held mail messages, NetMail/3000
allows the user to create as many “mail folders” as he or she wishes. Messages can be placed into
mail folders (other than or including the default “INBOX”) where they will not appear in the list-
ing of mail messages except when they belong to the current folder.
An example of where you might find this feature useful. If you reach the point where you
have, say, several dozen messages in your mailbox, all of which you want to hold onto for some
reason or another. Scrolling through several dozen mail messages each time you run NetMail/
3000 can be time consuming. What you might do then is to create a few folders, say one for each
major topic area or project you’re working on, or whatever grouping seems logical. By creating
several folders and then “filing” the messages into separate folders, you would no longer have all
those messages to scroll through each time you run NetMail/3000. Instead, you would see the new
messages and those messages which you have not yet filed anywhere. Then, to review or work
with specific saved messages, you merely set the current folder to the folder which you wish to
work in (GOTO selection under the FOLDER menu) and NetMail/3000 will only list the mes-
sages in that folder.
