Using @pen Webmail
Written by Christina Ross

Accessing Your E-Mail Account (Back)

Your @pen Webmail e-mail account may be retrieved from any computer in the world that has Internet access. There are five steps to accessing your account:

  1. Connect to the Internet.
  2. In the Location (URL) line, type www.sd13.org. You will be connected to the Bloomingdale School District 13 web page.
  3. Click on Staff E-mail Access.
  4. Now Login with your UserID (first initiallast name) and Password (for new users, the first time you log in the password will be 1234). Do not use spaces or CAPS.
  5. Point your mouse to Login, click, and voila - @pen Webmail takes you directly to your Inbox folder! Your Inbox is where you will be able to see all mail when you login and each time you press the Refresh button.

    Quick Click: Look for these indented sections to give you shortcuts or bits of information that help get you around @pen Webmail a little easier. Not knowing them, however, won't hurt either.

@pen Webmail functions with its own special tool bars. So from this point on, ignore the tool bar/buttons associated with your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.) at the very top.

Quick Click: That WAS quick, huh? Here are instructions for putting an Internet Explorer shortcut for @pen Webmail on your computer desktop:

  1. Follow steps 1-3 above to get to the login screen.
  2. You'll want part of the desktop to show so if the login screen is maximized, click the middle "box" icon in the upper right-hand corner to make it smaller; if the screen is already smaller, skip this step. (Do NOT click the far left button to "minimize" your screen; otherwise, it won't show at all).
  3. Click and drag the Internet Explorer icon in the Address bar of your browser to the desktop. All done!

The @pen Webmail Inbox

All functions in @pen Webmail begin and end with the Inbox. At the top of the Inbox screen is the folder menu bar; click the drop-down arrow to display all available folders. Displayed to the right of the folder menu bar is how many messages you have available for direct viewing, the number of messages unread, and the total number of bytes in your messages. Directly below this line is the tool bar for performing the different functions of @pen Webmail: composing a message, organizing your mail into folders, creating e-mail addresses, filtering unwanted mail, finding stored messages in your folders through advanced search, refreshing the Inbox screen, moving all messages in a folder to Trash, using the calendar feature, changing the appearance of your screen, and moving or copying read messages to a designated folder. Each of these functions will be explained later.

Any new messages you have will be displayed below the tool bar and organized by Date, Sender, Subject, and Size. There are up to ten messages displayed by default. If you have several pages of messages, clicking on the double arrow to the right of the Page number will take you to the last page; to get back to the first page, click the double arrow to the left. Clicking on single arrows will take you back and forth a single page at a time. The first column on the left with the Envelope graphic specifies the status of the message: an "open" Envelope indicates a read message and a "closed" Envelope indicates an unread message. A “paper clip” next to a closed Envelope means that a document has been attached to the e-mail; a “curved arrow” next to the open Envelope indicates that you’ve replied to this message you received.

Quick Click: By clicking on any of the column titles-Date, Sender, Subject, Size-or the Envelope, the look of your Inbox will change. For instance, clicking on the Envelope will change the message status from read to unread; clicking on Date will change the order of the messages from newest first to oldest first; clicking on either Subject or Sender will reorder the messages alphabetically; clicking on Size will organize them from largest to smallest. Change your mind and want the original order? Keep toggling until the Inbox looks the way you want.

The Inbox also has a Search feature. This is especially handy if you have several messages in your Inbox and are looking for a particular one. Type a word, phrase, or date in the space provided and search by sender, recipient, subject, date, attachment, header, or text content of the message. If you are unsure where that word or phrase pops up, select All and @pen Webmail will look everywhere imaginable in the Inbox. This feature is available in all of your folders. For more in-depth searching, click on the Advanced Search icon on the tool bar.

Reading a Message

Select the e-mail message you want to open from the Inbox and click on the Subject line. The Message Display window appears with the name of the folder (in this case, your Inbox) and the number of messages in that folder. Note: If you click on the name of the Sender instead of the Subject line, @pen Webmail will open the Compose Message window with the sender's name in the "To" box. That's convenient but may not be what you want to do right now.

Here are the functions of the different buttons on the Message Display toolbar:

Back:
This handy button shows up in just about every window you open from the tool bar, and it has one function and one function only-to take you back to the Inbox or the most current folder you have open.
New:
Ever read a message that reminded you to send an e-mail to someone else? Click here to compose a message without exiting out of the message you are currently reading. However, after you send your message, you automatically return to the Inbox.
Reply:
To reply to the sender, click here. The Compose Message screen appears with the From, Priority, To, and Subject lines automatically filled in.
Reply All:
To reply to the sender AND all other recipients of an e-mail message, click here. As above, the Compose Message screen appears with the From, Priority, To, and Subject lines automatically filled in.
Forward (with arrow):
This is the first of two forward buttons. Click here to send this message to someone else besides the original sender. The Compose Message screen appears with the From, Priority, and Subject lines automatically filled in. Type in the new recipient's e-mail address or select from your Address Book (creating addresses is covered in the Address Book section).
Forward (with paper clip):
The second forward button sends your message as an attachment (note the paper clip instead of the arrow next to Mr. Head) rather than in the message box like it is with Reply, Reply All, and the first Forward.

Quick Click: Do you like to receive "forwarded" mail where you have to read through dozens of strange e-mail addresses before you finally find the message telling you that it's National Friendship Week again? Well, neither do most people. Use the Forward button sparingly and become familiar with "cut and paste": select just the message by highlighting it, click Edit/Copy from the browser tool bar (or CTRL C), open a New compose message, then click Edit/Paste (or CTRL V) to paste into the message area. By the way, there is no National Friendship Week.

Print:
When you click here to print, the browser tool bar pops up. Select File, Print. Change settings from the Print window if necessary, then click Okay.

Quick Click: You can go to the browser's Print command directly if you want, but going through @pen Webmail is nicer because none of the icons or headers print, thereby saving space and ink.

Trash Can (picture icon only):
Click here to automatically move the message to the Trash folder.
Clock/Calendar (picture icon only):
Click here to go to the Calendar feature. This is especially useful if the e-mail is a reminder of a meeting or deadline coming up, so you can make a note in the calendar right then and there. However, you can only return to the Inbox or Logout from Calendar; it does not take you back to the message you were in.
Logout:
Logging off of @pen Webmail.
Move/Copy:
It is a good idea to keep all your folders, especially your Inbox, cleared of old messages. To move or copy messages from one folder to another, click in the small white box to the far right of the message. The default folder for moving messages is Trash, unless you specify otherwise (see Options section) but if you want to move the message somewhere else, click on the drop-down arrow in the right folder window. All system folders and folders you’ve created (covered in Folders section) will be listed, plus a —DELETE— option. Click on the folder you’ve selected and hit Move to transfer the message or Copy to put a copy in another folder while keeping the original where it is. If you want the message totally gone, select DELETE then Move. This function is also available in all folder windows.

Quick Click: To select all messages on a folder page to move or delete, click on the small white box next to Size. All messages on that page will be selected at once, and you can then designate where to move them. If you have more than one page of messages, you will need to do this for each page.

What's with the little pictures?
As you read your messages, you may notice the following pictures on the top section:

Head with green arrow:
At the end of the From line, clicking here will allow you to import this address into your Address Book. It will automatically put in the Name and E-mail Address for you; once entered, you can edit or delete it at any time.
Head with red X:
Usually next to the Import head, clicking here will tell @pen Webmail to block this particular e-mail address from entering your Inbox in the future. Great for blocking unwanted junk mail.
Computer with red X:
Next to the Block head, this is actually a network setting to block the SMTP relay of the message. Ignore this.
Diskette:
Found on the Subject line, clicking here lets you download and save this particular e-mail message to your C: or H: drive if you want to keep.

Quick Click: To the far right of the Date line are the words All Headers. Click here to view all system text messages pertaining to this e-mail (i.e., local host name, message ID number, status number, etc.). Toggle here to get back to Simple Headers. Viewing in Simple Headers allows for faster load time.

Writing a Message

To write and send original e-mail messages, click on the New button to bring up the Compose Message screen.

From:
Your name and e-mail address is automatically filled in.
Priority:
The default setting is "Normal" but for emphasis, you can change it to "Urgent" or "Not Urgent." If marked Urgent and the recipient is another @pen Webmail user, a red ! will appear in the first column next to the Envelope.
To:
Enter the e-mail address of the person to whom you are sending the message. Separate multiple addresses by a comma (no space). You can also enter addresses by clicking on the Address Book icon ( ) to the right of the "To" box. The ADDRESS BOOK window will appear with all the addresses you have created. Click on the box next to the address or addresses you want. Then click Continue at the end of the list or Cancel if you have changed your mind.

Quick Click: After selecting your addresses, you can also hit the Enter key instead, especially if your list is really long. Otherwise you'll need to scroll up to find the Continue button.

Subject:
It is always good "E"-tiquette to put a subject line in your e-mails. Even @pen Webmail knows this, so if you don't type in a subject, it will ask you before sending if this is okay. Either type in a subject or click "okay."
Confirm Reading:
Click this little box to the right of the Subject line if you want to be notified when the recipient opened your message. Or not. This works only among other @pen Webmail users.
CC:and/or BCC:
Use same procedure as "To."

Quick Click: Okay, so what's the difference between "CC" and "BCC"? Normally, you "carbon copy" (or "courtesy copy") recipients as an FYI because the subject usually doesn't require action by them. All recipients can see the names of others you have copied the message to. You send a "blind carbon copy" when you don't want the original recipient to know someone else is also receiving this e-mail. "BCC" is a little clandestine, so try not to use it. Okay, so what's "carbon"?

Attachment:
Click on the Browse button to the right of the Attachment line. The Choose file window will pop up. Highlight the document or file you want to send on the appropriate drive and click Open (or double click on the file name). The name of the document/file you want to send now appears in the Attachment line.

To send more documents, first click on the Add button to the right of the Browse button. You will see that the attached file name is now displayed above the Attachment line. Click on Browse, find and select the document you want, and click Open." Continue this procedure-Add, Browse, select, Open-until all documents you want to send are selected. Note: If you don't click on the Add button when sending more than one document, the file just selected will replace the last file name that appeared in the Attachment line.
Send:
This button appears before and after the message box. If your message is short and sweet, appearing before the message box keeps you from scrolling down an otherwise empty area to find the Send button. If your message is longer, appearing after the box keeps you from scrolling back up. Just remember to attach your files or type in a message before clicking Send. After clicking Send, you will pop back to the Inbox or whichever folder you were in last.
Save Draft:
Like the Send button, this button appears before and after the message box. Use this feature if you have composed a message but aren't quite ready to send it yet, or if you want to save this message to send it again in the future. When you select Save Draft, it will store your message in a Draft folder. When you are ready, select this folder; find the message and click on the Subject to open; click Edit Draft; finish editing if necessary; click Save Draft to resave the message with the changes or type the address in the To field and click Send to transmit .
Spell Check:
Appearing after the message box, Spell Check uses a phonetic-based matching scheme to correctly identify misspelled words. Spell Check will identify and create a pull-down list for each misspelled word.

Each of the pull-down menus shows a list of closely-matched words to chose from, including the option to retype the misspelling instead. To do this, click Manually Fix, then select Check Again. You'll pop over to another window where the word you chose no longer has a drop-down arrow, and you can then click in the box and retype the word. When you're done, click Check Again to accept your fix. To continue the rest of Spell Check, click Back and you'll go back to where you were. When you are all done, click Finish Checking.

Quick Click: Spell Check does knot correct yore grammar errors. Bee careful.

Cancel:
The last button on your Compose Message page is the Cancel button. Click here if you decide-after you've typed your message, added all the senders, and run a spell check-that you don't want to send the message or save it as a draft after all. Clicking the Back button will also cancel the message and take you back to the folder you were in.

@pen Webmail automatically stores a copy of your message in a Sent folder. Go through it frequently to delete old messages. See the next section for more information on folders.

Folder Management

There are five default folders already set up in your @pen Webmail account:

Inbox:
The place where all new e-mail messages are received and the default folder that appears after you login to @pen Webmail.
Saved:
The folder to store messages you want to keep if you don't want to create your own folders.
Sent:
Stores copies of all e-mail messages you've sent.
Draft E-mail:
Saves messages you've created but aren't ready to send out.
Trash:
Holds messages you want to trash; messages stored here are NOT deleted until you designate when under Options and can be retrieved by opening this folder.

To get to the different folders, click on the left folder menu bar above the tool bar and click the drop-down arrow. The numbers beside each folder show the number of unread/total messages in the folder. Select the folder you want and click. Please check the contents of your folders periodically. Except for the Trash folder (which was covered in Options), items are not removed from these folders until they are manually deleted.

To more efficiently handle the messages sent and stored in your user account, you have the capability of creating additional folders. Click on Folders and the Edit Folders window appears. Folders created by the user are listed before the five default folders (for now, ignore the little floppy disk icon to the right of the folder name). The columns listed to the right of the folders designate the number of "New" or unread messages in the folder, how many total messages are stored there, and the total size of all messages stored in each one. The buttons to the far right require some type of Action:

Add:
To create a new folder, type in the name you want to use in the blank bar under Folder Name and click Add.
MarkRead:
Marks all the messages in that folder as "read".
CheckIndex and ReIndex:
CheckIndex checks how many messages there are in the folder. ReIndex tells OpenWebMail to recreate
a folder's index when it has become corrupted.
Rename:
Click the button that's on the same line as the folder you want to rename. A User Prompt window will pop up telling you to "Please enter the new name for this folder."
Delete:
Again, click the button that's on the same line as the folder you want to delete. @pen Webmail will ask "Are you sure you want to delete this folder and all its contents? (Folder Name)" Click OK if okay or Cancel if it's not the right folder.

Quick Click: Clicking on any folder in the Edit Folders window will take you directly to that folder.

When all finished with this feature, click Back to take you back to the folder you were in.

Using the Address Book

Although the human brain is capable of performing complex surgeries and math equations, it is incapable of storing lists. That's why address books were created and can be found in almost every e-mail system in the web universe. It stores the e-mail addresses of all your colleagues, friends, and family members for you to recall at the click of a mouse.

Create an address:
Click in the blank bar under Name and type whatever name you want to call this particular address or group of addresses. Under E-Mail Address(es) type in the entire address (e.g., jdoe@sd13.org); separate multiple addresses by commas (no space). Under Note click a reminder to yourself regarding this particular address. (Although this is an optional feature, it is helpful in identifying and sorting your addresses.) Under Action click Add/Modify when completed.
Create a group from individual addresses already in the Address Book:
Click in the blank bar under Name and type whatever name you want to call this particular group of addresses. Click on the double-headed icon ( ) next to the blank bar under E-Mail Address(es), and your list of previously entered addresses will appear. Select those addresses you need by clicking in the little boxes, then click Continue.
Modify or edit an address:
Click on the Name you want to edit and it will appear in the blank bar (which will then no longer be blank). Retype the name or e-mail address and hit Enter. Note: When editing, keep in the mind that: 1. clicking on the E-Mail Address(es) box instead of the Name box will automatically take you to the Compose Message window; and 2. whenever you change the “Name” of one of your addressees, it creates a new address without deleting the old one. To delete the older address, see below.
Delete an address:
Click on the Name you want to delete and click the Delete button in the Action column to the right. Each address will have its own delete key.
You probably have noticed the other buttons in this Edit Address Book window. We've already covered the purpose of the Back button, so let's discuss the others.
Import and Export:
Allows the user to bring in (import) address books from other e-mail servers or to move (export) your @pen Webmail addresses to another server. Since this is a tricky and oftentimes unsuccessful process, please contact the Technology Department for assistance.
Clear All:
Deletes all the addresses in your address book. Only you know why you would do this.

Quick Click: This can't be said enough-once Delete and Clear All buttons are used, the address is GONE. Be sure you want to use these features before doing so.

Finally, if you have a lot of addresses and can't tell by the name which one you want to use, try finding it through Search located to the right of the Clear All button. Click on the drop-down arrow to search by Name, Email, Note, or All. Then type in a word or words in the blank bar that will help you locate the address or group of addresses.

Filter (Mail Filter Setup)

This feature is used to block unwanted messages from e-mail accounts and is done through the network. Should you experience a problem with unwanted e-mail, please contact the Technology Department.

Advanced Search (Folder/magnifying glass icon)

Use this feature when you’ve saved a message but can’t remember which of the folders you stored it under. To search:

Select Folder:
To search in all default or personal folders, click the small box to the right of Select Folder. Or click in the boxes next to the individual folders as listed.
Where:
Search by From, To, Subject, Date, Attached File Name, Header, Text Content, or All. You can search up to 3 different ways at one time, which should help in narrowing your search (i.e., by Subject, then by Date, then by To).
Type of Search:
Used along with Text to Search, this step tells @pen Webmail what to look for by specifying whether the e-mail contains or does not contain certain words; what it is or is not; what it starts with or ends with; and if it “matches regexp (insensitive).”
Text to Search:
Type in any word or phrase that will help you locate the e-mail.
Line Results:
Specify here how many results you want back. For example, if your search ends up with 100 results but 15 is the number you’ve typed into Line Results, only the most current 15 results will be listed.

After you’ve put in as much information as you can about the e-mail you’re looking for, click Search. Results will be listed by Folder, Date, Sender, and Subject. To open a message, click on the subject; clicking on the sender’s name will automatically take you to the Compose Message window.

Quick Click: If the search results come back with more than one e-mail message, print off the list before you start opening anything. Unfortunately, @pen Webmail does not save your search results so if the one message you chose out of the 20 wasn’t the one you needed, you will have to start your search over. With a list in hand, there’s no do-over.

Refresh

Clicking here will update or reload the current @pen Webmail page with new data. You shouldn’t need to worry about this too often because messages come through regularly. Note: If you are logged into @pen Webmail for too long without activity, the system will perform a Session Timeout, and you will need to logon again. Sorry.

Move to Trash (Trash can icon)

This icon appears in all Folders and Message Display windows. Click the box on the far right of each message you want to remove from the Folder, then click this icon. In the Message Display window, you can click this icon with the message open and it will move it directly to Trash.

Using the Calendar

The calendar/clock icon takes you to a built-in calendar that you can use to keep track of class schedules, appointments, meetings, birthdays, whatever. You can view your calendar yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily to easily browse your scheduled events. The following is a breakdown of what you will see in Calendar.

Year View (icon only):
This window has the year at the top and all 12 months displayed. The current month is shaded. Click on any month to go to Month View; click on any week number to go to Week View; click any day in any given month to go to Day View. To go back a year or more, click the arrow to the left of the year; to go ahead, click the arrow to the right. Year View is the first icon in the upper left corner of each Calendar window.
Month View (icon only):
Clicking this second icon from the left views the entire month, with the time and a short description of any items you have scheduled on your calendar. The current date is shaded. The left and right arrows at the top will take you back and forth between months. To go to a particular day, click on that number. To edit an item you have entered, click on the item description. Adding and editing items will be covered in Day View.
Week View (icon only):
The third icon from the left is Week View, which lets you see your schedule in weekly blocks. Again, the current date is shaded. Getting around this window is pretty much the same as the Year and Month Views: arrows take you back and forth between weeks; clicking on any date or item entered will take you to Day View.
Day View (icon only):
The last tiny calendar icon from the left is the Day View. From this window, you will see all the items you’ve entered for that day, the beginning time for each, and the edit/delete (Ed Del) function to the left of individual entries. This window is where you enter your calendar items.

Add Calendar Entry:

  • Type a description of the item; so far there isn’t a limit to the number of letters you can have for a description but keeping it simple will help you find the entry in Month and Day Views a lot easier.
  • Enter beginning time in hours and minutes, am or pm (drop-down boxes provided). You can also select None if the event on your calendar is simply a task reminder.
  • Indicate if the item is just for today or for every weekday (everywday) (e.g., you want to enter your lunch period Monday-Friday at 11:32 am).
  • Select and note if the item is for Today and next _ days (enter number in box) (e.g. you want the calendar to show you are on vacation today and the next 3 days).
  • Select if you want this entry to appear on the same day every month (e.g., you want to remind yourself to pay your mortgage on January 1, February 1, March 1, etc.).
  • Select if you want this item to be on this same date every year (i.e., so you don’t forget your wife’s birthday).
  • Make this item a hyperlink to… Not sure the significance of this yet.
  • When you are done making your calendar entry, hit Save.

Edit/Delete Calendar Entry:

  • To edit, click on Ed to the left of the calendar entry. The Change Calendar Entry window appears. Change any or all of the following in the boxes provided: New Entry, New Time, and/or New Link; click Save or Cancel when finished.
  • To delete an entry, click on Del next to the item. If this is the only day entered for this particular item, it is immediately deleted. But don’t panic—if you deleted the item in error, simply hit the Backspace key and the item will reappear.

When either editing or deleting an entry that has multiple dates, a window will appear and ask the following, “This item was added for multiple dates. Editing/Deleting it will change/delete the item for all dates. Continue with Edit/Delete?” Click OK or Cancel.

Refresh:
Depending on which View window you are in, clicking Refresh will take you to the most current year, month, week, or day. For instance, if you are viewing February 2005 in Month View, clicking Refresh will take you back to the present month.
Back to Inbox (Envelope icon):
You know.
Logout:
CAUTION: This logs you completely out of @pen Webmail, not just out of the Calendar. To get back to the Inbox, see above.

Options

Under Options, you will be able to change the way you view and work within your personal @pen Webmail e-mail account. At the top of the page, under User Preference for (Your Name), are the following icons:

Back:
Takes you back to the Inbox or the last folder you were in.
Edit Personal E-Mail Addresses (Envelopes icon):
Initially, the Technology Department sets up how each name and e-mail address will appear in sent messages. Click here if you want to modify how your name appears (e.g., change “Elizabeth Smith” to “Beth Smith”). In the Real Name box, retype your name then click Add/Modify. Select Back to User Preferences when finished.
Change Password (Head and key icon):
Go here to change your @pen Webmail password. You will need to enter your Old Password, your New Password, then Confirm New Password by entering again. Click Change Password to accept new password or Cancel to return to the User Preference/Options window.
View History (Page icon):
Click here to take a peak of all the activity you’ve done with this account in the previous several days. Click Continue to return to the Inbox folder.
About (“i” icon):
Technical stuff regarding @pen Webmail and our server. Ignore this button.

Preferences are then divided into the following sections:

PERSONAL INFORMATION

DISPLAY PREFERENCE

MESSAGE READING OPTIONS

MESSAGE OPERATION

MESSAGE REPLYING OPTIONS

MESSAGE FILTERING OPTIONS

Limit for repeated messages:
Replied messages in the Inbox with the same subject from the same sender are considered “repeated messages.” Once the number of messages exceeds the number set, ALL additional messages will be automatically sent to the Trash folder—including any further Reply messages on that same subject whether you’ve read it or not. You can select from 0 (“0 means No check for repeatness”) to 100 repeated messages in the drop-down box provided. By selecting 0, all messages will be left alone in your Inbox. We recommend you set this for 0 or at least 20, to ensure that no unread message is automatically sent to Trash without your knowing about it. Better yet, constantly keep your Inbox cleared of old messages by moving them to another folder or deleting them.
Filter messages with faked SMTP:
Filter messages with faked From field:
Filter messages with faked exe content-type:
Although our firewall system can detect most viruses and worms that invade the network, you can do a little protection on your own C drive by selecting each of the options above. If checked, messages with phony SMTPs—Simple Mail Transfer Protocols—(useful in filtering messages from spammers), “From” fields, and “exe” contents (both useful in filtering messages generated from a virus) are automatically sent to the Trash folder.
 
CALENDAR OPTIONS

Hour format:
Select a 12 or 24-hour day.
Number of items in month view:
Select from 3 to 10 items or appointments that will show up under Month View.
Week start:
Sunday or Monday?
Start hour and End hour:
Designated in military (24-hour) time, select between “0000” and “2300” for the start and end times in the Day View window of your calendar. If you chose a 12-hour day in the previous Hour Format option, your hours will not appear in military time.
Show empty hours:
Click here to show all hours in Day View, even if no meeting or event is scheduled. Deselect and only those times designated with activity will display.

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS

New Mail sound notification:
If checked, a chime will sound when new mail is received. This will only work if you are already logged onto @pen Webmail.
Use Regex in search and filterrule:
Again, this is programmer stuff the network handles. The default is a checked box; leave it alone.
Hide folder internal data:
If checked, internal messages used by POP3 or IMAP servers will be hidden from user. This is a network setting so ignore for now.
Dictionary for spellcheck:
The only dictionary available for Spell Check at this time is English.
Trash mail reserved day(s):
Choose how long mail remains in the Trash folder before it is automatically deleted. You can select from 0 to 60 days or “Forever.” However, nothing lasts forever, including the file storage on our server. Please do not make “Forever” your choice.
Session timeout:
Select when you want to automatically be logged out, from 10 minutes to 24 hours, after you have remained inactive for this period of time. You will get a nice pop-up message from @pen Webmail reminding you that you have been inactive and will be logged out in 60 seconds if you don’t do something quick.
The following buttons also appear at the bottom of your Options page:

Save: Be sure to click here or none of the preferences you selected will be changed. After clicking Save, you will be taken to the Preferences Saved window; click Continue to return to the Inbox folder.

Cancel: Click here if you do not want to change any of your preferences.

Logout

Signs you out of @pen Webmail. Please get in the habit of logging out of @pen Webmail instead of just closing the window.
