Reading, Replying, Forwarding, Printing and Deleting Mail Messages

Step 1: Under Course Tools, select Mail (see figure below). Note: Click the Teach Tab when creating, sending, viewing, and/or replying to mail messages.

Step 2: Select and open the folder that contains the messages you wish to read (e.g. Inbox). Messages in that folder now appear in the frame on the right side of the browser window (see figure below). Note: Subject headings in bold text are marked unread, and subject headings in plain text are marked read. You can mark messages as either read or unread by checking the boxes next to the appropriate subject headings, and clicking either the Read or Unread buttons.

Step 3: Select the subject link of the message you wish to read. The message will appear in a new window (see figure below). Under the text, you will see five buttons: Reply, Reply All, Forward, Print, or Delete. Click the Reply button to reply to the message sender. Note: The Create Message window appears with the Subject text box of the message already filled in. See the 'Sending Mail Message' tutorial if you need assistance creating a reply message. Click Reply All to reply to the message sender AND all message recipients. Click Forward to forward this message to new recipients. Click Print to print this message. Click Delete to permanently delete this mail message. If you do not wish to do anything with the message, click the Close this window link to return to the main Mail page.
