The VAX Mail program allows you to send and receive messages on and off -campus. You will be notified of new mail when you log in and when you receive mail. You have an e-mail address for both on and off campus use. Type MAIL at your prompt or choose Mail from your menu.
Mail is stored in folders.
When you receive new mail, it is placed in the newmail folder. When a message is read, it is moved to the mail folder. Folders only exist if there is mail to fill them, i.e. if you have no new mail, you will not have a new mail folder until you receive new mail. This will update your new mail folder and move mail messages you have read to the mail folder. If you have been reading new mail and wish to re-read a message that has been moved to the mail folder, you will have to select the mail folder.
