Deleting Messages

Important! When you delete a message using Webmail it is removed from the server.

Follow these steps to delete a message:

  1. Select the checkbox next to the message(s) you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.

Setting a Sent Mail/Drafts Folder

You must be subscribed to any folder you wish to use for sent mail, drafts or deleted items. If you do not have a Drafts or Deleted folder, follow the steps for Creating a Personal Folder first (see Managing Folders).

Webmail automatically creates a Sent Mail folder to store copies of mail messages you have sent. If you have a different sent mail folder in another mail client (e.g., Outlook or Entourage), you will now have two folders of sent messages. To change the Sent Mail folder that Webmail uses, follow these steps:

  1. Select Options from the main mail window. The Options window will appear.
  2. Select the Folder Preferences link. The Folder Preferences window will appear.



  3. Under Special Folder Options, next to Sent Folder:, choose the folder you would like to use for sent mail.
  4. Click the Submit button.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 to choose a different Drafts folder. Choose the folder next to Draft Folder.

Note: The Webmail Trash folder has been disabled.
