Reading and Deleting

You can also get to the Inbox by clicking on the Back to INBOX text all the way to the right. Next to it you will find arrows screen shot to scroll through to the next or previous message.

Deleting
You can delete a message while it's open by clicking on the "Delete" text on the upper left of the message. From the Inbox, put a check in the box on the left of the message line to select it. Then click on the Delete text. You will notice on the right, above the messages, two links for Hide Deleted (or Show Deleted depending on your default setting) and Purge Deleted. If yours reads Hide Deleted, change your setting to Show Deleted. This means that when you delete a message, you will still see it, but crossed out. By clicking on Hide Deleted, you will no longer see messages to be deleted. Regardless of whether you can see messages you've deleted, you have to click Purge Deleted in order to actually get rid of those messages. Before purging deleted files, you can recover them by clicking on the check box beside the message and then on Undelete.
