- All mail files are subdivided into folders. By default, your mail file
- (MAIL.MAI) contains a folder named MAIL. The MAIL folder contains
- messages that you have already read. When you receive new mail messages,
- they automatically enter into a folder named NEWMAIL. After you read the
- messages in the NEWMAIL folder, they automatically move into the MAIL
- folder and the NEWMAIL folder disappears. When you delete a message it
- automatically moves into the WASTEBASKET folder. Deleted messages collect
- in the WASTEBASKET folder until you empty it. To empty theWASTEBASKET folder,
- enter one of the following commands:
-
- o EXIT See <EXIT>
-
- o PURGE See <PURGE>
-
- You can create as many folders as you want. You always know which folder
- you are currently in because the name of the folder is displayed at the
- top right corner of the screen when you enter the READ or DIRECTORY
- command. You can enter the DIRECTORY/FOLDER command to see a display of
- the existing folders in the current mail file. (See the MOVE command for
- information about creating folders). You can remove a folder by deleting
- all the messages it contains.

- MAIL contains the following hierarchy:
-
- Personal Mail Utility (MAIL)
-
- mail file { [+++++] [+++++] [+++++] }
-
- folder [+++++]
-
- message +
-
- As the previous diagram shows, you can have one or more mail files. A
- mail file contains folders. A folder contains mail messages.
