Eudora Mailbox Window

Mailbox windows consist of a title bar and list of message summaries. The title bar displays the mailbox name. The following screen shows the In mailbox in Eudora Pro. The mailbox window in Eudora Light is similar.

Each line in a mailbox window represents one message and is called a message summary. To select a message summary, single-click on it. To select more than one summary, press Shift or Ctrl while clicking on the summaries.

A mailbox window has eight columns: Status (S), Priority (P), Attachment (A), Label, Sender/Recipient (Who), Date, Size (K), and Subject.

Tip: To sort a mailbox by one of these columns, click on the column heading. To sort in reverse order, hold down the Shift key when doing the sort. (Eudora Pro only)

The following table describes these columns.

Column Description
Status Displays the message status, which is one of the following:

The message is unread (all mailboxes except Out), or has not been queued (Out mailbox only).
(blank) The message has been read (all mailboxes except Out), or cannot be queued because it has no recipients (Out mailbox only).
R Reply has been chosen for the message.
F Forward has been chosen for the message.
D Redirect has been chosen for the message.
S The message has been sent (outgoing messages only).
- The message was transferred from the Out mailbox before being sent.

Priority Displays the message priority. Normal priority is blank, while higher priorities are indicated by one or two carets (^) pointing up. Lower priorities are indicated by carets pointing down.
Attachment Displays the attachment icon when a message includes one or more attachments. (Eudora Pro only)
Label Displays the message label. You assign labels to incoming messages, either manually or automatically using filters. When a message summary has a label, the entire summary changes color to match the label color. (Eudora Pro only)
Sender/Recipient Shows the sender of the message (for incoming messages) or the recipient or intended recipient (for outgoing messages).
Date Displays the date and time the message was sent or the date and time the message is scheduled to be sent.
