(see

Reading
Your
Mail
Clicking
the
Read
Mail
icon
in
the
Outlook
Express
main
window
takes
you
to
your
Inbox.
You
can
also
get
there
by
clicking
the
Inbox
in
the
left
pane
of
the
Outlook
Express
window.
Click
the
Send
and
Receive
button
on
the
toolbar
to
tell
Outlook
Express
to
connect
to
your
Internet
service
provider
and
get
your
mail.
Outlook
Express
pops
up
a
dialog
box
to
show
the
progress
of
your
e-mail
connection.
The
“look”
of
this
box
will
vary
depending
on
the
ISP
you’re
using.
Next,
a
dialog
box
opens
showing
the
connection
to
the
mail
servers
as
your
mail
is
sent
and
received.
Outlook
Express
won’t
automatically
disconnect
form
your
Internet
service
unless
you
check
the
Hang
Up
When
Finished
box.
And
if
you
have
Active
Desktop
installed,
it
won’t
disconnect
even
then.
Right-click
on
the
networking
icon
on
the
Taskbar
and
select
Disconnect.
In
the
Inbox,
your
messages
are
listed
in
the
upper
pane,
with
unread
messages
in
bold.
You
can
change
the
order
of
messages
by
clicking
a
column
heading
to
sort
messages
according
to
that
column.
Click
the
heading
again
to
reverse
the
sort
order.
When
you
highlight
a
message
header
in
the
upper
pane,
the
message
itself
appears
in
the
lower
preview
pane.
Double-click
on
a
message
header
to
open
the
message
in
its
own
window
for
easier
viewing.
Outlook
Express
in
not
limited
to
plain
text
e-mail.
It
also
handles
messages
formatted
in
HTML,
which
means
you
can
vary
fonts
and
colors
and
include
links
and
graphics.
If
people
you
are
writing
to
use
e-mail
software
that
can
handle
HTML
messages,
they’ll
see
the
formatting;
otherwise,
the
message
will
be
displayed
in
plain
text.
The
Inbox
view
will
be
most
useful
if
you
receive
lots
of
mail
and
want
to
quickly
check
the
subject
and
sender-reading
important
mail
first.
Otherwise,
you
may
find
it
simpler
to
just
double-click
your
first
new
message
and
work
in
the
mail
reader
window.
The
mail
reader
toolbar
gives
you
quick
access
to
the
most
common
operations.
As
you
read
each
message,
Outlook
Express
will
mark
it
as
Read
in
the
Inbox
by
changing
its
entry
to
normal
type
instead
of
bold.
To
delete
a
message,
click
the
Delete
button
instead
of
Next;
Outlook
Express
will
automatically
move
on
to
the
next
message.
