Inbox & other folders

The Inbox is the default message folder where all new messages are stored. The first glance will show you how many messages you have in your Inbox and how many of them are new (not yet read by you).

Your email messages are displayed one below the other in chronological order, with the latest messages first. Each mail shows whether the message is new (indicated by ">"), who sent it, the date it was sent, the subject and the size of the message.
