<para>Once you've started Mailer and begun to collect email messages, you'll
want to read, sort, find, delete, and (possibly) undelete them.</para>
<para>After using Mailer you may need to file certain mail messages away for
safekeeping. You have a default mailbox (Inbox) where all your messages are
received. Since keeping all your mail messages in your Inbox is not practical,
you may want to set up other mailboxes to store groups of messages together.
