Common Features of an
E-Mail Program
•A message can be queued, or temporarily held with other messages, and then sent when you either exit the program or check to see if you received any new e-mail.
•When you receive e-mail, it is stored on the mail server until you use your e-mail program to ask the server to retrieve your mail.
•Most e-mail programs let you print a message you are composing or that you have received at any time.
•Some programs let you define and use a filter to move incoming mail into one or several folders automatically based on the content of the message. They are especially useful for moving junk mail.
