## Online Mailbox

When you sign on to AOL and tap the Mailbox icon, your handheld displays the Online Mailbox with your screen name. This is the same mailbox you would see if you had signed on to America Online e-mail from your desktop computer. You use the Online Mailbox in AOL for your Palm handheld in much the same way you use your desktop Online Mailbox.

Like your desktop e-mail application, the Online Mailbox has three tabs.

- New Mail lists all your unread messages.
- Old Mail lists messages you have read.
- Sent Mail lists messages you have sent.

### Command buttons

The following commands are available by tapping the buttons at the bottom of the screen:

| Returns to the AOL main screen.
| Opens the selected message. Please refer to Reading E-Mail for more information.
| Keeps a selected message as a new message. (Not available on the Sent Mail tab.) It will not be saved in the file cabinet; but will continue to display as a new message on your handheld and your desktop AOL application.
| Deletes the selected message. Please refer to Reading E-Mail for more information.
| Opens a blank, new message screen that lets you write, then send or store the new message. Please refer to Writing E-Mail for more information.

### Options menu

With your Online Mailbox open, tap the Menu icon () to display the Options menu. The following commands are available in the Options menu:

Refresh List | Updates the list of entries on all three tabs. When you tap the command, the tab you are looking at is refreshed immediately. Tabs that are closed when the command is tapped are refreshed when they are opened.
Mark All Mail As New | Tap to move all messages to the New Mail tab in your Online Mailbox. Only available on the New Mail and Old Mail tabs.

Preferences

Allows you to set or change the following Preferences in AOL on your handheld:
