  1. How do I tell if a message is unread?

    The background color behind a message you haven't read yet will be green. The background color behind a message you've read already will be white. The text will also be bold for new messages.

  2. Can I mark multiple messages read or unread without opening them?

    Yes. Simply check the box to the left of the message subject for all of the messages that you wish to change and then click the desired link at the top - either 'Mark Read' or 'Mark Unread' to change the status.

  3. Can I sort my mail?

    Yes. There are two different ways to approach this problem. First, inside your inbox you can click on any of the column titles to sort the column alphabetically/numerically on that field. This will allow you to sort all of the messages by a specific author together easily. You can also create folders using the 'New Folder' link at the top of the main Messages window that you can put messages into using the 'Move' function.

  4. What email address does my mail go to?

    Isidore, by default, will only send mail to your Lotus Notes email address. If someone wishes to have their mail forwarded to another account, they must navigate to http://address.udayton.edu, login with their LDAP account information, and forward their Lotus mail under the 'Mail Forwarding' section.

    5. All mail sent to your University of Dayton email address will be sent on to the address you supplied when you enable Mail Forwarding.

  5. Can I send a message to multiple people at once?

    Yes, you can. Simply press and hold the 'Ctrl' button on the keyboard as you click on multiple names in the list to send a message to more than one person.
