Click the
Show Folders button on the left side of the Hotmail window. (Folders
may already be showing. You should have four already there). The
Inbox folder is where your incoming mail is sent. Sent messages is
where the messages you send are stored if you choose that option. The
Drafts folder is where mail you are not finished writing can be stored if
you click Save Draft when you are in the middle of the message. The
Trash Can folder is where you can retrieve deleted messages if you make a
mistake in deleting one. NOTE: Hotmail staff cleans out your trash
can twice a day.
