If you have signed up for a My Way Email account, an envelope in the upper-right corner of your My Page, and in the upper-right corner of the homepage - next to the "Hi, (Username)" link - indicates that you have new email.  Clicking this envelope image will take you to your My Way Email account.
Find out exactly how many new messages have arrived by adding the Email & Community module to your My Page. To add this module click the "content" link at the top center of your My Page.
If you have selected a different primary email account through your "My Settings" options, you will not see the white envelope at the top of the My Page. Please be aware that the envelope image will alert you to messages within your My Way Email account only, not messages within any other account that you may have selected as your primary account through your "My Settings" options.
Your My Way Email account is initially set to display 25 messages per screen. You can view more messages by doing one of the following:
• Click the "Next" link located an the top and bottom of your message list to display your next set of messages. Click "Prev" to
return to the previous list of messages.
• Change the number of messages displayed on the screen at one time. To do so, click the "Preferences" link found in the Controls box (left column of your screen), then click "Email Preferences". Then, under the Message Reading heading, use the dropdown to change the number of
messages displayed.
You can sort messages in the message list by Sender (From), Subject, Date or Size by clicking on the appropriate header. Click the
same heading a
second time to sort messages in the opposite order.
For example, to sort messages by Sender from A to Z, click the "Sender" link. To sort from Z to A, click the "Sender" link
again.
To delete a message, click the checkbox (or checkboxes, for multiple message deletion) to the left of the message(s), and click the "Delete" button.
To select all messages, click the "Check All" link at the bottom of your Inbox list.
Note: Once you delete a message, it will be placed in your Trash folder. You must click the "Empty Trash" link to permanently delete
your mail. Note: My Way will periodically empty your Trash folder.
To empty your Trash folder, click the "Empty Trash" link. Then choose "Yes" from the pop-up window. Emptying your trash will
permanently delete all messages in the trash folder, whether or not the checkbox is marked.
To move a message to a different folder, click the checkbox to the left of that message, then select the folder from the "Move To"
drop-down list.
The following icons indicate the status of messages in the message list:
 New Message
Previously Read Messages will appear without an icon in front
 Message includes an attachment
 Message was sent with high priority
 Message was sent with low priority
To display a message, click the subject of the message in the message list.
To reply to the message sender, click the "Reply" button in the message window. To reply to the sender and all listed recipients of the
original message,
click the "Reply All" button.
To forward a message click the "Forward" button in the message window.
There are two forwarding options (found in the drop-down menu in the Compose Mail screen) available to you:
• Send as an attachment: Forwards your entire message as an attachment
• Inline Forwarding: Sends the text of your message in the body of the message and includes any attachments
Attachments are listed at the bottom of the message window as file names, preceded by the  icon. To open an attachment, click on its filename while viewing the message.
To print a message, click the "Print View" button in the upper right corner of the message window. This opens the message in its own browser window, allowing you to use the print function on your browser to print the message.
