Getting Started with NetMail
The NetMail window appears after you select the NetMail link from the Sun Java System Portal Server standard Desktop. When NetMail is launched, a small browser window appears.
Caution
The NetMail browser window must remain open during your entire NetMail session. It can be minimized during your session, but must not be closed.
Note
Depending on the speed of the Internet connection, it might take up to two minutes to load the NetMail applet.
The main NetMail window contains the message headers for the selected folder (initially, the Inbox). Using the buttons in the main NetMail window, you can:
Check For New Messages
To check for new messages, click Check Mail. Any new messages appear in your Inbox list.
Read Messages

The selected message appears in the Read Message window.

Delete Messages
The Delete button toggles between Delete and Undelete depending on the status of the message.
To delete messages, select one or more messages, then click Delete. The messages are then marked as Deleted.
To undelete messages, select one or more messages marked as Dele, then click Undelete.
Messages flagged as deleted are not actually removed from a folder until you purge deleted messages. To do this, choose Purge Deleted Messages from the Messages menu.
Compose Messages
To compose a new message, click Compose. The Compose Message window appears.
For more information, see Composing Messages.
Reply Without Quote
To reply to the selected message, without including the sender’s message text, click Reply w/o Quote. An empty Reply w/o Quote window appears pre-addressed to the sender of the original message.
Note
- A message marked with an asterisk (*) means that the message contains at least one attachment.
- A message marked with a C is stored in NetMail. Storing a message in this way is called caching. Load your messages into the cache to use NetMail in disconnected mode. For more information, see Using NetMail in Disconnected Mode.
