⇧ = Shift ^=Ctrl Tips:
The folders that are subfolders of your Inbox are synchronized with your mail server, so if you check your mail from other computers with Thunderbird or with Webmail, all the folders will have the same messages.
--You can give color tags to your messages in Thunderbird to help you prioritize them. Just select the message(s) and hit a number between 1 and 5.
Message Pane
If you click on a message in the message pane above, you will see its preview here. To open the message in a new window, double-click on it.
--If you like Thunderbird, you might also like Firefox, Mozilla’s popular web browser. Call the Technology Help Desk to set it up. --When you are done with a message, move it out of the inbox, either by deleting it or dragging it to another folder. Filters are useful for this. Attachments
If your message has files attached to it, they will appear here. You can double-click the file to open or save it, or you can drag and drop the file to somewhere else on your computer.
