In most of the e-mail service providers, the home page has some common folders which are as
                 follows:

                     Inbox: It is the folder where all e-mails that you have received from others are stored.
                    Sent: It is the folder where all e-mails that you send to others are stored.

                     Outbox: It is the folder where all outgoing e-mails are temporarily stored. Once the all e-mails
                    have been sent, the Outbox folder gets empty.
                     Spam: It is the folder where all unwanted incoming e-mails are stored so that they stays out
                    of the inbox folder. The unwanted e-mail is also known as Junk Mail.

                    The e-mail can only be permanently deleted if you delete it from the Trash folder.
