This document covers the following topics:
The Inbasket and Outbasket are system folders which initially contain all the mail that you handle during your daily office work. Since Inbasket and Outbasket are system folders, you cannot erase them.
All objects contained in the folders Inbasket and Outbasekt are displayed according to the default display sequence; this may be either ascending or descending date order (see Display Sequence of Objects in a Folder).
You can "save" your items in the Inbasket or Outbasket by filing them in another folder. See the descriptions of the "File" windows and the FILE command for further information.
The Inbasket consists of five files, into which all your incoming mail is sorted: Phone, New, Invitations, Opened and Postponed.
Issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect to display the files of your Inbasket:
DISPLAY Folder inbasket
As a result, the "Contents of Folder Inbasket" screen appears:

The information in the following columns applies to the files contained in your Inbasket:
- Item Name (Description)
The five files that constitute your Inbasket:
Opened
Once you have read a new mail item or phone message and have not erased or filed it, it is transferred to the file Opened. Accepted invitations are not transferred to this file; they are removed from the Inbasket and are entered in your calendar.Postponed
If you want to read a new item again at a later date, you can postpone it. Such mail is stored in the file Postponed and will re-appear in your Inbasket as a new item on the specified date.When you display the file Postponed (for example, with the command sequence "DISPLAY Folder inbasket postponed"), all postponed mail items are listed. Date and time you specified for the new delivery are also displayed in this screen. See the description of the POSTPONE command for further information.
During the interval between which you first logon to Con-nect on the date at which the item is to be redelivered to you, and the time you specified for delivery, the item can neither be accessed in the file Postponed, nor in the file New.
- Object
The object type. In this case: file.
- Type
Not relevant here.
- Itm
An X indicates that there are objects in the corresponding file. If there is no X, the file is empty.
- Date Filed
The date on which the files were created by the administrator.
If you want to view the content of a particular file, mark that file with DI and press ENTER.
You can also enter the command sequence "DISPLAY Folder inbasket file-name" to display a specific file without intermediate steps.
As a result, the "Contents of Folder Inbasket File-name" screen appears.
However, there is a shorter way of displaying all new mail items immediately. This is explained below.
The Con-nect menu always shows you the current status of your Inbasket. It tells you how many new mail items, phone messages or invitations have arrived since you last read your mail. If a message like the following is displayed in the right side of your Con-nect menu, you should read your Inbasket.
New phone messages: 3 New mail items: 5 New invitations: 1
Issue the command alias I (shown in the Con-nect menu) from any point in Con-nect to display a list of all mail items contained in your Inbasket (regardless of the files they are in):
In this case, the command alias represents the following command sequence:
DISPLAY Folder inbasket *
As a result, the "Contents of Folder Inbasket" screen appears:

The columns display the following information:
- Subject
The information which was entered in the "Subject" line of the "Send" screen.
The following information is displayed to the left of the subject:

(F) Forwarded (R) Reply (P) Postponed - Reply
This column is only shown when this has been defined in your user profile. For further information, see Folders and Password in Your User Profile.
One of the following characters can be displayed in this column:
* You have sent a reply. ? You have created a reply, but it has not yet been sent. - Type
The name of the Inbasket file in which the item is stored.
Several mail systems distinguish mail priorities. If mail with a higher priority is sent to you, "Urgent" is displayed highlighted in the "Type" column (instead of "New").
When a meeting has been modified or canceled, "Modified" or "Canceled" is displayed highlighted in the "Type" column.
- Sent by
The sender's full name. If the item was forwarded to you, the name of the forwarder is shown, not the name of the person who sent the original.
- Date Mailed
The date when the mail item was sent or forwarded to you.
The display sequence of the Inbasket is indicated directly above this column.
The command prompting lines of the "Contents of Folder Inbasket" screen show all the commands which apply to the Inbasket. The commands are described in section Commands. The following exceptions apply when working with the Inbasket:
When you issue the ADDRESS command with a specific mail item in your Inbasket, the "Addressees for (Object-name)" screen displays a list of all addressees who received the mail item. You can see who has read the item and who has sent a reply.
Several external mail systems support reply recipients. The sender of a mail item can specify who else is to receive your reply. All reply recipients are displayed at the bottom of the list - below all other addressees.
Valid commands for users, cabinets and transport service addressees: you can mark the name of an addressee with CO or DI:
The COPY command creates a nickname for this addressee. The "Copy Mail Address to Nickname" window is displayed. You can modify the suggestion for the nickname in this window and then press ENTER to access the "Modify Address" screen.
The DISPLAY command displays the full address of the addressee (depending on the addressee type, a screen appears containing the user or cabinet address, or a window containing information on the external node).
See the ADDRESS command in section Commands for the Outbasket for a description of the "Addressees for (Object-name)" screen.
Once you have read a new mail item or phone message and have not erased or filed it, it is transferred to the file Opened. Accepted invitations are not transferred to this file; they are removed from the Inbasket and are entered in your calendar. See Receiving an Invitation to a Meeting.
When you display a mail item or a phone message in your Inbasket, the name of the sender and the date when the item was mailed are shown at the top of the screen. The number of the page you are currently reading and the number of the line which is displayed at the top of the screen are also shown.
If a mail item contains a cover note and/or enclosures, the line directly above the text always tells you which part of the mail item you are currently reading.
If a cover note has been attached to the item, it is displayed first. After you have read it, you press ENTER to proceed to the actual text of the item. If there are enclosures, they are displayed when you press ENTER on the last page of the document text. You press ENTER to proceed to the next enclosure (or, if there are no further enclosures, back to the cover note).
Note:
Each received SNADS mail item contains a cover note consisting of
one line (followed by a maximum of 4 message lines, if the sender has attached
a cover note to his document) and shows the SNADS address of the sender: the
origin node ID (Distribution Service Unit Name) and the origin user ID
(Distribution User Name). Furthermore, the date and time at which the item was
mailed, and a sequence number for further identification of the message are
displayed.
If the mail item is, for example, a reference document, menu, or program, a message appears on the cover note telling you which type of object has been sent to you. In this case, you must issue the QUIT command to display the mail item.
If the mail item is, for example, an RFT or Vce document, you can only display the cover note. See Document Formats for information on the different formats.
Tip:
If you want to DETACH a cover note or an enclosure from a document in
your Inbasket, you must FILE the document first.
When you display a reply to a mail item you have previously sent, you can issue the ORIGINAL command to display your original mail item. The ORIGINAL command can only be issued while the reply is displayed.
You can issue the REPLIES command to display your reply to a mail item you have previously received (without having to first access your Outbasket). If you sent more than one reply to that item, a list is shown and you can mark the reply you wish to read with DI and press ENTER. The REPLIES command can only be issued while the mail item is displayed.
You can also postpone a mail item (except invitations to a meeting). The POSTPONE command can only be issued while the mail item is displayed.
The EXPORT command moves a copy of an object to another destination, e.g. a Natural library or a personal computer. See Exporting Documents for further information.
When you FILE a memo, it becomes a document.
When you FILE a document which is contained in your Inbasket, cover notes and address list are also filed.
When you FILE any other Con-nect object, cover notes and address lists are not filed.
See the descriptions of the "File" windows and the FILE command for further information.
You can mail a copy of any item from your Inbasket to someone else by forwarding it. The original item cannot be changed, but you can attach a cover note with your comments to be mailed along with the copy.
Issue the FORWARD command with a specific mail item to access the "Forward Document" screen.

Enter the following information in the "Forward Document" screen:
- Forward to
You specify the new addressee(s) just as you would when sending a memo.
You can access the address management system by entering an asterisk (*) in this line, or by issuing the ADDRESS command.
- Subject
You can specify another subject for the mail item you want to forward.
- Forward Note
Optional - you can add a cover note to the mail item.
Word wrapping is automatically activated in the "Forward Document" screen. When word wrapping causes a new line which does not fit in the lines shown, the editor is automatically accessed and you must activate word wrapping yourself, i.e. you must specify the text margins for the whole text (see the description of the SET command in section Text Processing for further information).
- Use Editor
If you need more space for your cover note, you must mark this field and press ENTER to access the editor.
You can also issue the MODIFY command from the "Forward Document" screen to access the editor. See Text Processing for details on how to use the editor.
When you have completed your text, you must issue the QUIT command to leave the editor and to return to the "Forward Document" screen.
You can issue the FORMAT command in the "Forward Document" screen to alternate between formatted and unformatted sending of your mail. See Formatting Your Mail for further information.
You can issue the DEFAULT command in the "Forward Document" screen to modify the send defaults. See Modifying the Send Defaults for further information.
Send the item by issuing the CONFIRM command.
Note:
A forwarded mail item may contain a maximum of 25 cover notes. If
another cover note is attached to a mail item which already contains 25 cover
notes, the oldest cover note is removed.
When a repeated delivery has been specified for a mail item, this information is also displayed in the "Info for Object-name" screen.
When you receive a document from a user within your system, Con-nect computes the expiration date based upon the value set by the administrator (starting with the day it was sent).
When you receive a document from a user at an external node, the expiration date is always one year after the document has been sent.
You can enter the DEFAULT command in the command line of the "Info for Object-name" screen to display the send defaults that the sender has specified. You can also see whether the sender requests a reply.
Note:
You can also issue DEFAULT in the "Info for
Object-name" screen after the mail item has been
filed into a folder.
When you have received external mail and you access the "Info for Object-name" screen for that mail item, you can press ENTER to display the sender's address. If the mail is a Transport Service item, you can enter COPY in the command line of the "Info for Object-name" screen to create a nickname for the sender of the mail item. The "Copy Mail Address to Nickname" window is displayed. You can modify the suggestion for the nickname in this window and then press ENTER to access the "Modify Address" screen.
If you want to defer reading a mail item in your Inbasket, you can postpone it. However, you cannot postpone an invitation to a meeting, since the invitation remains in your Inbasket as long as you do not accept or decline the meeting.
Issue the POSTPONE command while the mail item is displayed.

Enter the following information in the "Postpone Mail Delivery" window:
- New Delivery Date
Con-nect provides the next day as the new delivery date. You can modify this by typing another date in this line.
Day, month, and (optionally) year must be entered in the same sequence as shown in the upper right corner of the screen. When you abbreviate (truncate) the name of the month, you must make sure that the abbreviation is unique. When you enter a past date without the year, the following year is automatically provided.
- Time
When you use the AM/PM time format, Con-nect provides 12:01 AM as the new delivery time. When you use the 24 hour time format, Con-nect provides 0:00. You can modify this by typing another time in this line.
Press ENTER to close the window and to transfer the mail item to the Inbasket file Postponed.
You can display each mail item which is stored in the file Postponed or use any other command to act upon it.
The item remains in the file Postponed until the date you specified for the new delivery. On the specified date, the postponed item is put into your Inbasket file New, as if it had just been sent. After you have read the postponed item in the file New, it is transferred to the Inbasket file Opened. In contrast to other mail items, the postponed item is not sorted according to the date when it was sent, but according to the date when it reappeared in the file New (however, the date shown is the date when it was sent).
When you issue, for example, "POSTPONE 20.Dec.95" (with the new delivery date), the "Postpone Mail Delivery" window does not appear.
You can send a reply to each mail item that is contained in your Inbasket.
Issue the REPLY command with a specific mail item to access the "Reply" screen.

Con-nect provides the ID of the cabinet from which the mail item has been sent as addressee and the subject information. The reply is always sent to the cabinet, not to the name of the user which is also shown in the "Reply" screen. This is important if you reply to mail that a user has sent from a shared cabinet.
When you reply to an invitation to a meeting for which a subject was not specified, the starting date of the meeting is automatically entered as the subject.
When you reply to an external mail item for which a subject was not specified, you must specify a subject.
When you reply to a forwarded item (as in the above example), both the names of the sender and the forwarder are provided and you can select to whom you want to send the reply. If you want to send the reply to both, you mark both fields with any character.
You can also send your reply to any other user. To do so, specify the addressee's name in the "Reply to" line as described in section Sending a Memo. If you need help selecting the addressee(s), you can issue the ADDRESS command to access the address management system.
You type your reply in the lines under "Reply Message".
As long as you have not entered a reply in this screen, you can enter COPY in the command line to copy the message that you are replying to into the "Reply" screen, where you can now modify it.
Word wrapping is automatically activated in the "Reply" screen. When word wrapping causes a new line which does not fit in the lines shown, the editor is automatically accessed and you must activate word wrapping yourself, i.e. you must specify the text margins for the whole text (see the description of the SET command in section Text Processing for further information).
If you need more space for your reply, you must mark the "Use Editor" field with any character and press ENTER to access the editor. You can also issue the MODIFY command from the "Reply" screen to access the editor. See Text Processing for details on how to use the editor. When you have completed your text, you must issue the QUIT command to leave the editor and to return to the "Reply" screen.
You can issue the ORIGINAL command in the "Reply" screen to display the mail item to which you are replying. When the original mail item is displayed, you issue the QUIT command to return to the "Reply" screen where you can continue typing your reply.
While typing your reply in the "Reply" screen, you can issue, for example, the "DISPLAY Calendar" command to check your calendar and then issue the QUIT command to continue typing your reply in the "Reply" screen.
You can also suspend your reply (either when you are in the "Reply" screen or in the Editor) and proceed to another task. The text you have written is saved. To resume writing your reply, you access the Outbasket and mark the reply with SE (for SEND). As a result, you are returned to the "Reply" screen.
You can enter DEFAULT in the command line to display the "Send Defaults" screen. If the user's cabinet has been removed in the meantime, you can, for example, disallow an alternate recipient. See Modifying the Send Defaults for further information.
You can issue the FORMAT command in the "Reply" screen to alternate between formatted and unformatted sending of your reply. See Formatting Your Mail for further information.
Several external mail systems support reply recipients. The sender of a mail item can specify who else is to receive your reply. When you receive such a mail item, an additional field is displayed in the "Reply" screen: "Mark for all reply recipients". When you mark this field with any character, your reply is also sent to all defined reply recipients.
To display all defined reply recipients, you issue the ADDRESS command with the mail item. All reply recipients are displayed at the bottom of the list - below all other addressees.
Send the reply by issuing the CONFIRM command.
Copies of all objects you reply to, send or forward are automatically retained in your Outbasket. The Outbasket displays the reception status of a mail item. If the mail item has not been read, you can undo it. You can also send an item you have previously mailed to additional people by sending it directly from the Outbasket.
Issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect to display a list of all mail items contained in your Outbasket:
DISPLAY Folder outbasket

B Blindcopy C Copy O Original P Private - Reply
If this column contains an X, the addressee has sent a reply to the message.
If you want to read a specific reply, you must mark the addressee with RE. If the addressee has sent only one reply, it is displayed immediately. If the addressee has sent more than one reply, a list of all replies is displayed and you can mark the replies you want to read with DI.
If you sent this mail item to an external mail node, a reception status may be displayed for each addressee.
To print a list of all addressees, you must issue the OUTPUT command (which changes the printing criteria for the current session) and mark the "Addressee List" field in the resulting screen. See the description of the OUTPUT command in the section Documents for further information.
You can also modify the print defaults and specify that the addressee list is always printed when you issue the PRINT command. See Print Defaults for further information.
Valid commands for users, cabinets and transport service addressees: you can mark the name of an addressee with CO or DI:
The COPY command creates a nickname for this addressee. The "Copy Mail Address to Nickname" window is displayed. You can modify the suggestion for the nickname in this window and then press ENTER to access the "Modify Address" screen.
The DISPLAY command displays the full address of the addressee (depending on the addressee type, a screen appears containing the user or cabinet address, or a window containing information on the external node).
When you ERASE an item from the Outbasket, it is placed in the Wastebasket. However, it is not undone - you cannot UNDO a mail item from the Wastebasket.
The EXPORT command moves a copy of an object to another destination, e.g. a Natural library or a personal computer. See Exporting Documents for further information.
When you FILE an item from your Outbasket into another folder, you can still UNDO the mail item. To do so, you must issue the ADDRESS command with the filed object. You can then mark the addressee(s) with UN.
See the descriptions of the "File" windows and the FILE command for further information.
When a repeated delivery has been specified for a mail item, this information is also displayed in the "Info for Object-name" screen.
You can enter DEFAULT in the command line of the "Info for Object-name" screen to display the send defaults that you have specified (provided that you have actually sent the mail item by issuing the CONFIRM command).
When you have sent mail to an external addressee and you access the "Info for Object-name" screen for that mail item, you can press ENTER to display the external address of that addressee.
If an item is in your Outbasket, you can read any replies immediately, without having to first access your Inbasket.

If there is only one reply, it is displayed immediately. If there is more than one reply, the "Replies to Object-name" screen displays a list of all replies and you can mark the replies you want to read with DI.
If you are reading a reply, you can issue the ORIGINAL command to display the original (the mail item that you have sent).
If you want to print all replies, you must issue the OUTPUT command (which changes the printing criteria for the current session) and mark the "Replies" field in the resulting screen. See the description of the OUTPUT command in section Documents for further information.
When you issue the SEND command with a mail item to send it to further addressees, the "Send" screen is displayed and you must enter the addressee(s). When you have already sent the item once, you cannot modify its text. You must issue the CONFIRM command to send the item.
Copies of all items which you have sent are stored in your Outbasket. If you want to retract a mail item you have sent, you must issue the UNDO command with the mail item.
If some of the addressees have already read your mail item, it is not possible to undo the whole mail item. In this case, a window appears asking whether you want to undo the mail for the local addressees that have not yet read the mail item.
It is not possible to undo mail items that have been sent to an external mail node (e.g. TELEX or SNADS).
When you undo a mail item, its text is not automatically erased. It remains in your Outbasket.
If you only want to remove a few people from the addressee list, you can also issue the ADDRESS command with the mail item to access the "Addressees for (Object-name" screen and mark the names of those persons you want remove from the list with UN.
When you undo a mail item for which you have specified repeated delivery and if it has already been read by an addressee, the "Undo Repeat Delivery" window appears in which you can mark the "Mark to UNDO" field with any character to reset the counter for the repeated delivery to zero.
Your administrator can use the batch utility "Delete Folder Contents" to delete objects in the Inbasket files New and Opened, in the Outbasket, in the Wastebasket, in the system folders Compose and Connect, and in an optional folder such as Work. Objects deleted from folders other than the Wastebasket are placed in the Wastebasket. Ask your Con-nect administrator for further information. The batch utility "Delete Folder Contents" is described in the Con-nect Utilities documentation.
