Eudora Mailboxes

You can store messages in separate mailboxes using Eudora. This allows you to organize the mail you have received.

Default Mailboxes

You will notice your mailbox window on the left side of the screen. To change to a mailbox, simply double click on it. By default, Eudora uses three mailboxes:

1. In Box -- Eudora stores your incoming mail here by default.
2. Out Box -- Eudora stores copies of all your outgoing mail in this mailbox.
3. Trash -- Eudora stores messages you have deleted in this box (until you empty the trash -- very similar to the recycle bin in Windows 95)

Creating A New Mailbox

• To create a new mailbox, simply click on the Mailbox menu and select "New...".

  

• Type the name of the new mailbox ("test").
• You should see the mailbox test appear in the mailbox window on the left side of the screen.

Moving Messages To Your Mailbox

Now that you have a new mailbox, you will want to transfer messages to it.

• To transfer a file from your out mailbox to the test mailbox, double click on the out mailbox.
• Now either click on a message and drag it to the test mailbox or right click on the message and select "transfer -> test".
• Now double click on the test mailbox. You should see the message in your mailbox.

It is a good idea to keep multiple mailboxes. That way you can organize your mail efficiently. Many people keep mail about different subjects or from different people in different mailboxes. You will need to experiment to determine what strategy is best for you.
