The "Folder Preferences" menu allows you to manipulate the way your Web-Based Email folders appear by customizing display settings.
The options for each folder are:
New Mail Notice

Show "To"
Indicate whether or not you want the program to display the "To" column for the selected folder.
Long Listing
Indicate whether or not you want the program to display a long listing for the selected folder. In the long-listing view both user name and email address are displayed in the "From" and "To" columns (e.g., John Doe <johndoe@email.com>).
Thread Messages
Indicate whether or not you want messages displayed in thread view.
Show All
If this option is selected, all messages in the selected folder are displayed on one list.
Unread at Top
If this option is selected, unread messages will be displayed at the top of the mail list.
Use this option to compose and, if applicable, set the program to automatically insert a signature on outgoing messages.
Use this option to change your password.
Route incoming messages into selected Web-Based Email folders by defining filtering criteria. To set up your message filters, define the message-filtering standards and the file destinations in the "Message Filtering" window. You can redirect incoming messages to any folder on your folder list. Once established, rules are presented in the Current Rules area, with the most recently created or edited rule highlighted. Click Apply Now to apply the rule. If you rename, delete, or move a folder, any rules you have created that involve an association with the folder are likewise applied to your Message Filter rules.
Add servers and configure server settings for downloading email from a remote POP3, IMAP or Hotmail mailbox to your Web-Based Email account. Enter in the appropriate fields the type, server name, user name, and password.
Use the Web-Based Email search function to scan your email account for names, addresses, phrases, etc. Web-Based Email offers three search options:
Quick Search: Enter the a search word or phrase and click "Search."
Advanced Search: This allows you to define a number of search parameters, including folders to search, message fields to scan, and minimum and maximum sizes. As well, you can indicate whether or not the returned results should be limited to either read or unread messages, and whether they can include messages that have been flagged or have attachments.
Search Content: This option allows you to search message bodies for particular words or phrases. To do so, enter the folder and search phrase; then click "Search."
