Action Buttons/Controls in the Mailbox/Folder

When in a mailbox/folder, there are action buttons across the top of the window.  To process any of the actions using the action buttons, you must first use your mouse and select the checkbox to the left of one or more messages.  Using the checkbox allows you to manipulate multiple messages at one time.

The available actions are:

  1. Delete:  Click this button to mark the selected message(s) as deleted and move to the Trash.

  2. Read: Click this control to mark the selected message(s) as read.

  3. UnRead: Click this control to mark the selected message(s) as unread (reminding you to read at a later time).

  4. Flag: Click this control to add the flag marker to the selected message(s).

  5. UnFlag : Click this control to remove the flag marker from the selected message(s).

  6. Redirect: Click this control to redirect the selected message to the specified address(es). If you need to type in several addresses, separate them with a comma.
