The status symbol has three states: -

Amber: waiting for data

Whilst the action buttons are quite self explanitary, here is a brief description of their actions. All these buttons only requre a single click: -

1. Check for new email - this button will contact your email provider and look retrive a list of all email on the server
2. Download from server - this button will download all selected(highlighted) email to memory. This can be a useful feature if you do not want to stay on-line to read your email.

When you quit TapirMail and restart, you will need to download the email from the server again to view it
