Viewing and Deleting
New Mail Notification
The Inbox icon on the component bar notifies you when you have new messages.
Netscape Messenger checks your server periodically using the settings in the
Mail Servers Preferences panel. After Messenger finds new messages, the Inbox
icon displays a green arrow. A yellow arrow indicates that Messenger has not
checked for messages yet (generally when you first launch Communicator).
Messenger automatically downloads new messages to your Inbox if you've set it to
check for messages at timed intervals, but you can retrieve them manually at any
time.
To get new messages, do one of the following:
Click Get Msg on the Messenger window toolbar.
Choose Get New Messages from the File menu of the Messenger window.
Click the Inbox icon on the component bar.

Messenger marks each selected message for deletion.

2.Click Edit and then the IMAP tab.
3.Select the options you want and click OK.
