Mac Wkst: Special Folders (87158)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1
This article was previously published under Q87158 SUMMARY
There are folders that may be required by version 3.1 of Microsoft
Mail for the Macintosh that are more than just mail storage areas:
Outbox
This folder is created locally. Mail is placed in the Outbox during
offline operation. The Outbox remains visible when empty and can be
deleted by the user. The labels in the Outbox read TO rather than FROM
and LAST MODIFIED rather than RECEIVED.
When a connection to a mail server is made, the Outbox is checked to
determine if there is any outgoing mail queued for the server. If it
does, the user is notified by a dialog box and asked if the outgoing
mail should be sent.
Sent Mail
The user can set a preference to store any sent mail on the server or
locally. The initial location of a user's sent mail is determined by
the user's folder parameter in Server Settings. If only Local or only
Server folder creation is enabled, then the Sent Mail folder will be
created in the appropriate location. If both types are enabled, the
sent mail will be created on the server by default. Sent Mail folders
remain visible when empty, and can be deleted.
Wastebasket
The Wastebasket folder contains any mail deleted from any other folder
during a mail session. The Wastebasket will be emptied upon logout.
The Wastebasket cannot be deleted.
