an email message, we specify the following things:

the sender.

mailer program provides a Send button to send email, when you click Send, it is sent
to the mail server and a message mail sent successfully is shown at the above.

Reading Email
Every email program offers you an interface to access email messages. Like in Gmail,
emails are stored under different tabs such as primary, social, and promotion. When
you click one of tab, it displays a list of emails under that tab.
In order to read an email, you just have to click on that email. Once you click a
particular email, it gets opened.
The opened email may have some file attached with it. The attachments are shown
at the bottom of the opened email with an option called download attachment.

Replying Email
After reading an email, you may have to reply that email. To reply an email,
click Reply option shown at the bottom of the opened email.
Once you click on Reply, it will automatically copy the sender’s address in to the To
field. Below the To field, there is a text box where you can type the message.
Once you are done with entering message, click Send button. It’s that easy. Your
email is sent.

Forwarding Email
It is also possible to send a copy of the message that you have received along with
your own comments if you want. This can be done using forward button available in
mail client software.
The difference between replying and forwarding an email is that when you reply a
message to a person who has send the mail but while forwarding you can send it to
anyone.
When you receive a forwarded message, the message is marked with a > character
in front of each line and Subject: field is prefixed with Fw.

Deleting Email
If you don’t want to keep email into your inbox, you can delete it by simply selecting
the message from the message list and clicking delete or pressing the appropriate
command.
Some mail clients offers the deleted mails to be stored in a folder called deleted items
or trash from where you can recover a deleted email.
