Mail that you receive (and send) is best filed into folders which relate to different topics or interests. In Outlook Express these folders are seen in a frame on the left of the screen. Standard folders include:

• Inbox - the messages that have come into your program. In parenthesis is the number of unread messages
  
  
• Outbox - this contains unsent but completed messages and empties every time your press the send button
  
  
• Sent Items - this keeps a record of the messages you send. It may be useful to move some of these out to a folder so that your messages and the messages they relate to are in the same folder
  
  
• Deleted Items - this folder contains the messages which you have decided to delete. They are not actually deleted until you right-click on the folder and select Empty 'Deleted Items'
  
  
• Folder Drafts - I obviously don't use this folder but it seems to be standard
