Message Listing

The first page displayed after you log in is the Inbox Message Listing. All messages contained in your Inbox (or other folder, if you switch folders) will be listed in sortable columns: Subject, From, Date, and Size. From here you can mark messages as read, delete messages, move or copy them to another folder, or cause one to be displayed in the Message View.

Folder Status Bar

At the top of the Message Listing is the Folder Status bar. This bar lists:

•	The folder currently displayed in the Message Listing.

•	Total number of messages in that folder.

•	Number of unread messages in the folder.

•	Number of unread messages in each of your other folders.

Number of Messages Listed

The number of messages that will be listed in the Message Listing is determined by the value designated in the List Messages Per Page control of the Personalize section of Options. You can page through the list of messages by using the controls located on the top right of the Message Listing. Click the left button to move to the first page of the listing, the right button to move to the last page, and the two center buttons to move one page at a time.

Checking Your Email

As long as you are signed in, WorldClient will automatically check your mailbox(es) for new messages and update the Message Listing at a prescribed time interval. You can set the interval on the Personalize page - reached by clicking Options on the Navigation bar. You can also manually check for new messages at any time by clicking Get Mail.

Message Status Icons

Contained in the Message Listing is a column that is used for displaying a Status icon next to each entry. There are five icons that can be displayed in this column:

	This icon will be displayed next to New messages. These are messages that are unread and were collected by WorldClient at (or since) login.
	Signifies that a message is Unread. These are messages that were collected some time in the past (not since login) but haven’t yet been read.
	Signifies that you have Replied to the message.
	Messages that you have Forwarded will have this icon displayed.
	These are Urgent or High Priority messages.

When an entry’s Status icon column is left blank, that means that the message has been Read and doesn’t match any other Status icon criteria.

Selecting Messages

Select a message for deleting, moving or copying to another folder, or marking as read by clicking the checkbox beside the message(s) that you wish to select.

You can select all messages at once by clicking Select All on the Message Listing’s toolbar X above the column of checkboxes. You can Deselect All by clicking any of these options a second time.

Note

When you have manually selected one or more messages, the ‘select all’ controls will invert your selections. Any selected messages will be deselected and vice versa.

Depending upon your particular account settings, messages contained in the Trash folder may also be deleted when you log out and/or a predetermined limit is reached. Contact your mail administrator to determine what size or number limitations (if any) may be applied to your account.

You can search the Message Listing for messages in which the To, From, or Subject header contains a specific word or phrases by using the Search Tool on the Message Listing’s toolbar. Type the word or phrase for which you are searching, and then click OK. Now only those messages containing the text exactly as you typed it will be listed in the Message Listing.

There are six special characters that may not be searched for: & # % + < >. Searching for these characters will have unpredictable results.
