Introduction
Use the Inbox to see messages you receive in Outlook. The Inbox displays each
message as a single line with a From field that tells you who sent it, a
Subject field that gives you a clue as to what's in the message, and a
Received field that tells you when it was received. The symbol columns at the
left of the Inbox provide important information about each message, such as
priority level or whether it has a file attachment.
