Step 1: Open a Message

Before you complete these tutorials, download your incoming messages. See the tutorial "Reply or Forward" in the series "Checking and Sending." Open the first message you want to read by double clicking it.

Step 2: Move the Message

After you have read the message, select Transfer / Newsletters to send the message to the Newsletters mailbox you created earlier. It is this simple step of organization that prevents your In box from getting cluttered.

Step 3: Read and Discard

As you read your messages, there will be some of them that you want to throw away. You can do this by clicking the trash can at the upper-left corner of the Eudora screen.

Step 4: Read the Others

After you read a message and dispose of it (either by throwing it away or by filing it into a mailbox), you will be returned to the In box list to deal with the remaining messages in the In box. There is a setting in Tools / Options / Miscellaneous to open the next message automatically after reading and disposing of a message, but it only works if the messages have not been read.
