For each mail item in the InBox the following information is displayed:

• The unread arrow

If the mail item has not been read, an arrow will appear on the far left pointing to it.

• The notification icon

The icon chosen by the mail’s sender appears on the left side of the list.

• The source

The name of the mail’s sender appears in bold.  If the item is a return receipt, this name will indicate the mail’s recipient.

• The time-stamp

The date and time the mail was sent appears to the right of the source.

• The subject

The first line of the mail appears beneath the mail’s source and time-stamp.  If the mail message is more than one line long, ellipsis points (...) will appear after the first line to indicate this.

• The mail type icon

 This can be one of four icons:

    • An envelope indicates item is a letter.

    • A bugle indicates item is an alert.

    • A check mark indicates item is a return receipt.
If you have turned on return receipts, you will get an alert message when mail you have sent has been read.  You may set a preference if you also want return receipts to appear in your InBox for a permanent record.

     • An “X” indicates item is returned mail.
If Snap Mail was unable to deliver your mail successfully and the retry period has expired, your letter will be returned to you with an explanation of the problem.

In place of these icons, you may see a paper clip or a clipboard.  These indicate that there is an enclosure with the mail or that the clipboard has been sent to you.
