3-3. Concept of Mail Manager


In Magellan, you do not have to make folder to classify e-mail.
Magellan stores up e-mail either you received or sent one-dimensionally. You can decide which message is shown and how you read them in the Mail Manager window. As soon as you select any View in the View field, Magellan will find the messages and show them that fit for conditions of your View.
View is the settings of sheaf in which you can read necessary messages without moving any message itself.

For example, if you have made a View that shows all of received messages and another View that shows messages sent from your friend in this month, two Views will have overlapped messages.
Because you can set various View conditions by yourself, messages can be sorted freely and variously as you wish.

Magellan's Basic Views are following 4.
Arrive, Draft, Unread, Trash
Additionally, 3 initial Views are made: Inbox, Outbox and Recent.
Basic Views are not able to change. But you can change conditions of initial Views.

Double-click the icon of View, and you can see the settings of View.




TIPS          Basic View
 
Arrive When you received new message, Arrive View is automatically selected. Message you have read in the Arrive View will be handled in the same way as other messages in the Inbox. On the other hand, message you have not read yet will necessarily remain in the 'Unread' view.
 
Draft While written message is saved and have not sent yet, it is listed in the Draft View.
 
Unread Message you have not read yet remains in the Unread View. After you read or open message or message is once shown in the mail body field, it moves to Receive View or other View you have made.
 
Trash When you select message in the mail list field and click the Trash icon, the message will move to the Trash View. In other words, Trash View is for messages prepared to be deleted. Open the Trash View and click the Trash icon to delete message completely.


View name is indicated with bold style if it has a mail.
