10 - Collecting incoming messages
Click here for background information
RexxMail will look for incoming mail whenever mail is sent using the 'Dispatch' program object.

If the main folder is not open on the desktop when incoming mail messages arrive, RexxMail can create a 'Mail!' icon on the desktop. Double-clicking the 'Mail!' icon will open the RexxMail message folders (and delete the icon from the desktop).

Incoming messages are dropped in the 'In' folder. Note the message object icon, which shows a closed, postmarked envelope, and the object title, which shows the date and time stamp, the sender's and recipient's addresses, and the message subject. RexxMail will indicate the arrival of mail by sounding a falling two-tone beep.
