" Your email has now been sent to RM. You should shortly receive an automatic reply to your email. This will be added to the top of your list of emails received in the 'New Mail' folder. If it does not appear, try clicking the Check button. This checks for new messages waiting.
Reading an Email
To complete the previous exercise, we will now have a look at how to open an email that has been received.
" Just click on the email heading contained within either the 'From' or 'Subject' sections and this will automatically open the email.
" Click Index to return to the 'New Mail' folder.
Note: If you receive a message with 'Filtered' in the subject saying that an email you sent has not been delivered and that a copy has been sent to the Filter Master, it means the message you tried to send broke the restrictions set by the Manager. For example, a pupil might receive such a message if they tried to send an email to someone outside the school when they were only allowed to send emails locally.
Now that you are familiar with how to send and read emails, you can now proceed with the following sections of this manual, which guide you through the other features of EasyMail Plus.
