Chapter 5: Engaging the Social Apps

Outbox: When you send or reply to a message,

the Mail app immediately tries to connect to

the Internet and send it. If Mail can’t find the

Internet, your message lingers here. When you

connect to the Internet again, click the Sync

button, if necessary, to send it on its way.

To see the contents of any folder, click it. Click any

e-mail inside the folder, and its contents appear in the

pane to the far right.

Created folders in your Gmail account? When

you click your Google account, the Mail app lists

those folders beneath the Map app’s own fold-

ers, as shown in Figure 5-3.

But where are the Mail app’s menus? Like all Start

screen apps, the Mail app hides its menus on an App

bar along the screen’s bottom edge. You can reveal

the App bar in Mail and any Windows app with a

few tricks.

To summon the App bar along the bottom of

any app, choose one of these options:

✓ Mouse: Right-click on a blank portion inside

the app.

✓ Keyboard: Press +Z.

✓ Touchscreen: From the screen’s bottom, slide

your finger upward.

When the App bar rises from the screen’s bottom

edge, shown in Figure 5-4, it reveals icons to help you

maneuver through the Mail app.
