Hi Rose and List, I'll attempt to answer some of your questions.
Creating an EMAIL folder is very easy! You can read more about how to do so in the manual under 11.7.6, Folder Management. You can find this in the index under Folder Management Email. When reading an email and you exit out to read another, you will be asked to move this email to which folder? Normally, I move what I read to trash unless I wish to save it elsewhere. If you wish to create a new folder, simply type its name and press enter. You will be told the folder doesn't exist, create folder? Type y for yes, and you have your new folder with your first message moved into it. Let's assume you want to save my message to the work folder but you don't have one yet. You exit from this message, the BN will prompt "Move this message to which folder?" Type work at this point. The BN will say something like the folder doesn't exist, create folder? Type y for Yes and this post will be the first message in your work folder. After some time, you decide you no longer need the work folde r. You can select the prompt "Read from which folder?" Go down the list of folders till you point to the work folder. Type dots 2 3 5 6 with backspace key to delete the work folder you no longer need. That's all there is to it! >From the main menu, type a for address list. You should hear when pressing >spacebar, add an address, look up address. Press enter on the look up address >field. You will get selection list for address list. You will see last name, >first name along with the other fields. You can type in a last name to see if >the BN can find a match. If it does, you will have the information in your >address list under that name. If you would rather brouze through your address >list, press enter again and you should see all the names in your address list. > If a name has an EMAIL address in one of the fields, you can send EMAIL to >that person. You can read all the fields under a given name or under every >name in your address list at this point. I'll discuss how to use your address >list to send mail in another post if you like. If you wish to save a copy of something you sent, you will be asked whether you wish to save a copy? Type y for yes. You will then be offered a list of folders where you can save your copy. It could be your work folder, or another one of your personal folders. Select the folder you want the email to go into, and it will be saved there once the Email is sent. In Keymail, one cannot save EMAIL in the "sent" box. Email in that folder disappears once it is sent! Any copies of your EMAIL need to go in one of your personal folders. I have one called My EMAIL and that's where a copy of my own written EMAIL would go if I saved a copy. I rarely do so. I don't think it is a good idea to save bunches of EMAIL in your BN. If there are too many saved EMAILS in your BN, the operation of receiveing and sending EMAILS could get slow and sluggish! You can either leave EMAIL on the server when reading it with your BN, or you can forward EMAIL from your BN to whereever you want it to go. I often do this myself. I save all important EMAIL on my PC. I rarely save anything on my BN. The database could be corrupted one day and you could lose that important information. When you have a chance, forward EMAIL you wish to save to your EMAIL address of choice. You can save the text of an EMAIL to a file which might be helpful as well. Your saved file can be pasted into other EMAILS you send.
