SquirrelMail comes to us set up so that you must save the email that you are composing before going anywhere else in SquirrelMail. That is, you must remember to click on the Save Draft button. If you should forget to do that your new email is GONE. If you do save your email as a draft, when you want to continue writing that email you have to find it in INBOX.Drafts, reopen it, etc

It is highly recommend that you select the option to compose new emails in a new window. This way you can go look something up in another email, such as the date of the Chili Cook off, without losing everything that you've written so far.
I don't know why this is an option and not the standard compose method.

·    Click on Options

·     Click on Display Preferences

·      Find the subheading Message Display and Composition

·    Find the option Compose Messaages in a New Window

· Click on Yes

·   Click on the Submit button

When you click on Delete to put an email into the trash the Inbox.Trash folder changes to Inbox.Trash(Purge)

Click on Purge to empty the trash. Seems simple enough, however:

· The Folders column displays the status of the folders the last time Squirrelmail checked the mail server. You have to click on Check Mail so that SquirrelMail can see that there is now some trash in the Trash folder. Check Mail is at he top of the Folders column.

· You might not notice that Inbox.Trash has changed to Inbox.Trash(Purge) because the 

Folders column is too narrow to show it. Move the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the column so you can see all of Inbox.Trash(Purge)

If you have a lot of emails to delete it will go faster if you either
a) delete a page at a time (15) by clicking "Toggle All" to select (checkmark) all of them then click "Delete" or
b) delete all of them at once by clicking "Show All" then "Toggle All" then "Delete"

You can display a list of emails, such as those in your Inbox, checkmark an email (don't open it), click the Forward button, and get a new, blank email that has the original email as an attachment.

Or you can open an individual email then click on either

    Forward (displays the original email) or

    Forward as an attachment

SquirrelMail has an option that hides Forward as an attachment

To change SquirrelMail's "2nd" method of forwarding so that it only forwards email by displaying it (never attaching it),

· Click on Options

· Click on Display Preferences

· Find the subheading Message Display and Composition

· Find the option Enable Forward as Attachment

· Click on No

· Click on the Submit button

IMP Webmail had saved email in a folder named "sent_mail' and SquirrelMail saves email in a folder named "Inbox.Sent."
