Replying and Forwarding an Email

        Occasionally, you will need to reply to the sender or send the original message to another person/group. Following
        are the steps to reply and forward an email:

         Step 1    When you receive an email and you wish to send a reply to the same person, then, select the “Reply” button.
                  A compose window with the name of the recipient will be automatically filled in the Header— “To”.
         Step 2   Add up the content and click “Send”.

         Step 3    In case you wish to forward the same mail to somebody else, then, click on “Forward”. The content
                  will be copied with the cursor blinking in Header— “To” so that you can write the email address of the

        Common Folders in Mailbox
        Some of the common folders of mailbox are:
           • Inbox: It contains the list of mails received in a mailbox. The unread mails are in bold. Most recent mails are
          arranged on the top of the list. It provides us with different options to rearrange the mails in different order.
           • Sent: It contains the list of the mails sent. The most recently sent mails will be arranged on the top of the list.
           • Draft: It contains the list of the mails created but not sent. Sometimes, we write an incomplete mail and wish
          to send it later, then, we can save it as a draft. Later, when we send it, then, it automatically gets removed from
          the draft.
           • Spam: Spam refers to junk, unwanted, unsolicited mail sent to a large group of people for the purpose of
          advertising their commercial, non-commercial or prohibited products. It is a way of marketing through the
          Internet where millions of users are getting the same mail. A person who creates spam is called a spammer.
          Email service automatically keeps spam mails in a spam folder of the mailbox.
           • Trash: An email deleted by the user will be stored in the trash folder for a specified time. Also, a user has a
          choice of recovering it back in case needed.
