But wait, there’s More! In the first column, you generally see only a few

mail folders listed. But if you select More, a new column pops out, offering
a list of standard subfolders, like Sent Items, as well as any subfolders
you’ve created, like Cat Videos. If you’d like to keep any of the folders
pinned to the Folders list, just right-click them and choose Add to Favorites.

Checking Email

If your email account offers “As they arrive” mail checking, then new
messages show up on your computer as they arrive, around the clock.

If you have any other kind of account, or if you didn’t turn that option on,

then Mail checks for new messages automatically on a schedule—every 15,
30, or 60 minutes (see “Settings Fun”). It also checks for new messages
each time you open the Mail program.

Tip

You can also force Mail to check for new messages and send waiting ones on command—by
hitting the Sync icon ( ) above the message list. Or, if you have a keyboard, press Ctrl+M.

When new mail arrives, you’ll know it. Mail can notify you, complete with
a little chime, even when you’re working in another app. And, of course,

the Mail tile on the Start menu updates itself to show you the latest
messages (a rotating display of their senders/subjects/first lines).

A new message is marked with a bold vertical line at its left edge. If you see

a tiny button next to the subject line, it’s an indication that Mail is
condensing several back-and-forths into a single line, for convenience; see
Figure 10-3.
