Note that each version of Netscape has a different layout for mail. Here are a few hints you will want to remember:

  • Type your message by using "NEW MSG" or something similar to that.
  • "SEND" your message.
  • Your sent messages will be kept in your "SENT" folder.
  • To receive messages click on "GET MSG".
  • To delete a message just "HIGHLIGHT" it and hit the "DELETE" key on your keyboard or "CLICK" on the "DELETE" button.
  • To find a message go to "EDIT", "SEARCH MESSAGES".  This will go through your "INBOX", "SENT", and "TRASH" folders.
  • Empty your "TRASH" by going to "FILE" and selecting "EMPTY TRASH FOLDER".
  • You can "COMPRESS" your mail boxes by selecting "FILE", "COMPRESS FOLDERS".  This makes it so that your mail will       respond quicker.
