- The most popular GE Mail question we get in FEEDBACK, is how to re-read
- mail once it has been read. Mail that has been read is saved for 5 days.
-
- 1. If you know the item number of the letter, you can simply type "LIST
- item#" while at the Command prompt in GE Mail command mode.
-
- 2. If you have forgotten the number, use the DISPLAY command in one of
- the forms below to produce a display list. Then use LIST to list an item.
-
- 3. You will want to learn the GE Mail commands early on to take full
- advantage of the mail system
-
-
-
- Following are a few examples of how you might use the DISPLAY command while
- in GE Mail Command Mode.
-
- 1. DISPLAY - gives a display of the headings of all unlisted mail
-
- 2. DISPLAY I>870701 - displays all mail since 870701.
-
- 3. DISPLAY ALL - displays all mail in hold queue, listed or unlisted.
-
-
-
- Following are a few examples of how you might use the LIST command while
- in GE Mail Command Mode.
-
- 1. LIST I>870701 - lists all mail since 870101.
-
- 2. LIST 0366010 - lists item 0366010.
-
- 3. LIST ALL - lists all mail in hold queue, listed and unlisted.
-
- If you do a DISPLAY and have letters retrieved, you have created a
- display list. You can then list specific letters by referencing
- their sequence number in the list
-
- 4. LIST 1 3 9 - lists 1st, 3rd, and 9th item in the current display list
-
- 5. LIST 1-9 - lists items 1-9 in the current display list.
-
- To access GE Mail Command Mode just enter MAIL or *MAIL at any GEnie main
- menu prompt. From the following menu select option 9.
-
- For a more detailed description of each of these commands you should see
- your GEnie Manual. If you do not have a copy of the GEnie User's Manual,
- you can download the file MANUAL.TXT from the GEnie Info Library (just enter
- *LIBRARY to access this area). Or you can see the online GEnie User's Manual
- by entering *MANUAL at any GEnie main menu prompt. If you would like to
- order a printed copy of this manual just enter *ORDER at any GEnie main menu
- prompt.
