Email Messaging
July 29, 2002 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner’s Manual 95
To the right of the folder name, if it has unread messages, the number of unread messages is shown in
parentheses. In the example above, Inbox (1) contains one unread message. The Inbox is shown in “expanded”
view (its list of emails is showing), with the first message in bold, indicating it is “unread”. The Saved folder is
shown collapsed. The Sent folder contents are collapsed, as are the Drafts folder contents (empty folders are
always shown collapsed, of course). The Trash folder is shown in expanded view and contains two emails.
As shown in the illustration above, individual emails are grouped in collapsible folder lists. To open (expand) a
folder’s list of emails, scroll to highlight the folder name, then press the wheel. To collapse the list, press again.
Press again to expand, etc.
Tip: To scroll quickly between folders, press the ALT key while using the D-pad up and down arrows.
To open an individual email, scroll to highlight the email, then press the wheel. To learn more about reading your
email, read

To the left of items in the Browse Email screen, there could be an icon that indicates the status of a message. To
interpret these icons, as well as understand the folder icons, read
Status Indicators
on page 95.
Status Indicators
Icons shown the to left of each folder name or email message tell you their status. Plus, all unread messages
are shown in bold. Here’s what the icons mean:
You have replied to this message.
You forwarded this message.
This email has an attachment.
There was an error when sending this email. (It wasn’t sent.) You will only see this status
indicator next to messages in the Sent folder.
This email is waiting to be sent. You will only see this status indicator next to messages in
the Sent folder.
This email is being sent. You will only see this status indicator next to messages in the
Sent folder.
