## Help for message list screen

The message screen looks something like this:

# Mailbox `foo' with 3 messages

- Clicking on a message subject displays it
- Letters to the left of each line indicate when the message is tagged as (N)ew, (O)ld, (D)eleted or (F)lagged. Message tagged as (D)eleted are not actually purged until the `Purge` button is pressed. Until that time, they can be untagged by using the (U)ndelete short cut (q.v.) or by displaying the message and using the `Undelete` button on that screen.
- The letters to the right of each message are short cuts for (S)ave, (R)eply, (F)orward and (D)elete/(U)ndelete. Those functions are also available by displaying the message and using the correspondingly named buttons on that screen.
- The upward and downward pointing arrows (or the words `Prev` and `Next`) take you to, respectively, the previous and next screenful of messages. You can configure how many message count as one screenful by using the `Options` button. The `Top` and `Bottom` buttons take you directly to the top or bottom of the mailbox. If you are already at the top or bottom of the mailbox, the unnecesssary buttons are greyed out or not displayed at all.
- The `Compose` button takes you to the message composition screen where you can compose and send new messages.
- The `Mailboxes` button takes you to a screen where you can select a different mailbox to view or create, rename or delete mailboxes and directories.
- The `Manage` button takes you to a screen where you can manage your account: display your disk quota and disk usage, change your password, set mail forwarding or change and activate/deactiveate a vacation message.
- The `Options` button lets you configure various options for either the current session or for every future session too.
- The `Purge` button deletes from your mailbox all messages that are tagged as (D)eleted. Once purged, messages cannot be recovered. Once messages have been tagged as deleted, pressing the `Purge` button deletes them all immediately-there is no further confirmation dialog.
- The `Address Books` button takes you to a screen where you can create, browse, search, update and share your address books.
- The `Logout` button brings up a confirmation screen which lets you then logout of your mail session. You must remember to logout when you have finished your session.
