Start SCO Shell Mail
either by entering scosh email at
the command line or by starting SCO Shell and
selecting the Mail Application.
For further instructions on SCO Shell, see
``Starting SCO Shell''.
The mail opening screen shows information about messages waiting for you
in your system mailbox. New messages are added to
the end of the message list as they arrive:
Message status symbols (called flags)
can appear in the left margin of the message
list next to the individual listings. These characters
tell you facts about the messages: whether or not
you have read this message, whether it has an attachment, whether you have
replied to it, and so on.
The following table shows a complete list of message status flags.
| Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
| + | A message that has not been read yet. The ``+'' disappears only after you read the message. |
| a | A message that has attachments. |
| ! | An urgent message that requires immediate attention. |
| s | You have saved a copy of the message to a file or mail folder. |
| f | You have forwarded a copy of the message to others by selecting Forward from the Read menu. |
| r | You have sent a reply to the sender by selecting Reply from the Read menu. |
