Viewing and replying to messages

You will need to know how to view and reply to messages if you use Outlook as your email provider.

To view messages:

• Select the Inbox in the navigation pane.
  • If Inbox is bold, it indicates that you have unread messages.
  • The number to the right of the word Inbox in parentheses indicates the number of messages in your inbox.
• Click a message in the inbox once, and Outlook will display it in the reading pane, if that feature is turned on.
• Double-click a message, and it will open in a new window.

To reply to a message:

• Click Reply on the Standard toolbar while viewing the message you want to reply to. Outlook will create a pre-addressed reply form to the email address the original email came from.
  
  
  
  
• Enter text into the body of the form.
• Click Send.
