Viewing a Mail File

You can view the messages stored in a mail file using either the Mail Files window or the Load menu of the Mail Tool Header window. Once the mail file is loaded, you access the messages of the mail file exactly the same way as you access the messages of your In-Box.

To return to the In-Box after you are done viewing a mail file, choose Load In-Box from the File menu.
