  About MAIL, INBOX, and WASTEBASKET

  When you start the Mail application for the first time, one
  drawer, named MAIL, is automatically created and opened.
  Under the MAIL drawer, INBOX and WASTEBASKET are
  listed.  The INBOX folder contains messages that have been
  sent to you.  WASTEBASKET contains messages that you
  have deleted.

  The INBOX is also open when you enter Mail, as indicated
  by the open folder icon in front of INBOX. If there are
  any messages in the INBOX, they are listed.  Messages are
  chronologically arranged by date received.

  Messages are held in the INBOX until you move them
  to another folder.  You can change this default setting to
  automatically refile new messages to the MAIL folder once
  you have read them by changing your Receive options in
  your Mail profile.
