To delete an email message from your Email mailbox screen, use the up/down arrow keys
on the keyboard or the large scroll keys to move the pointer to the message you wish to
delete, and then press the
D
elete
function key, or the
Del
(delete) key on the keyboard.
Once the
D
elete
key has been pressed, you have several options:
Y
eS
confirms the command to delete the message
N
o
cancels the delete command
a
ll
deletes all messages except for those messages that are unread,
undelivered, or have been “marked” using the
m
ark
function (and
appear on the Email screen with a “
”)
o
lDer
deletes all messages older than the selected message
If you accidentally delete a message, you may “un-delete” it provided you have not left the
email screen. This only applies to the most recently deleted message – you cannot retrieve
messages previously deleted. Un-deleting a message must be done from the Email
mailbox screen, and cannot be done when reading an opened message. The
u
N
D
elete
command will not work when you delete messages using the
a
ll
or
o
lDer
keys.
To undo a delete command, first make sure you are in your Email mailbox screen. Press
and hold down the
Ctrl
key, and then use the
u
N
D
elete
function key to retrieve your
deleted message. This returns you to the Email mailbox screen, where the undeleted
message appears at the bottom of the list. Once you return to the idle screen, this
un-delete option is no longer available.

Email Address Book
The Email Address Book is a personalized directory that can store up to 100 different
names and email addresses of your email correspondents. It is very useful to you in
collecting, managing, and using email addresses. You can access the email Address
Book by pressing the
a
DDreSS
function key from your Email mailbox screen. See the
example Address Book screen in the figure below:
Tip:
Occasionally you may receive emails known as “bounced messages”. These
are emails that are sent back to you because either the addressee could not be found,
or there was a network problem that resulted in your email not reaching the intended
recipient. Often these bounced messages contain references to a
“mailer-daemon”
as the sender of the bounced message. A mailer-daemon is just a name given to
a network software program that is in charge of directing emails. You can delete
these bounced messages, and then resend the original message after correcting
the email address.
MailBug will then display your
To:
and
Subject:
lines at the top of the screen, and will
automatically insert your name and email address in the
“From”
address line of your
email message when it sends it. You are now ready to compose the main body of your
email message!
4.3.1
Composing & Editing Your Message
Type your message on the keyboard and the text appears on the screen. Note that the
diamond (
) that appears in the text area of the screen indicates the end of the message
text, and will not actually appear in the message when you send it. Also, the cursor will not
move past the diamond. To add to the message, move the cursor to the diamond
and continue typing.
The scroll keys to the right of the display screen, or the arrow keys on the keyboard, can
also be used to move the cursor on the screen while composing your message.
There are also other time-saving editing commands that will make composing your
message even easier. Hold down the
Ctrl
key on the keyboard to invoke these commands:
Ctrl
and keys
Moves cursor one word to the left
Ctrl
and keys
Moves cursor one word to the right
Ctrl
and keys
Moves cursor to the previous page (one screen up)
Ctrl
and keys
Moves cursor to the next page (one screen down)
If the cursor is on the
To:
or
Subject:
line, you can also move the position of the cursor
very quickly using the side keys:
Left side key
Moves cursor to start of line
Right side key
Moves cursor to end of line
Tip:
MailBug allows you to type email messages in other languages. If you need
to use certain foreign language characters or special symbols in your message,
you can type these characters by using the
Shift
and
Alt
keys. By pressing and
holding down the
Alt
key, and then pressing the appropriate keyboard key, you can
enter many international or other special characters. Available characters are listed
at the end of this manual.
