received messages
After downloading the messages, you have several options to choose from.

to all the recipients of the original message. Again, the e-mail addresses will be
filled in automatically and the original message will appear in the body of the letter.

can redirect a message to another address with this option. After clicking this
button, you can specify the address to which you would like the message sent. You do not
need to enter a new message.  Delete - Deleting
a message will place it in the Deleted messages folder. They will remain there until you delete them
again. Messages deleted from the Deleted folder will be erased permanently.
