What does Compiling Messages Mean?

<< Back to Mail Tool Tutorial Homepage

Tutorial Information

This feature allows you to select mail messages, compile them into one file, and print out all the messages. This is a nice feature if you want to read a number of messages instead of clicking on each one individual. You can even download the messages and create a text file of all the compiled ones.

You can view the tutorial in two other ways. The Adobe Acrobat Format allows you print out the tutorial with page breaks in appropriate places. The Movie Format allows you view actual screen shots and mouse movements in much more dynamic fashion. Below are the links to the tutorial information in other formats:
