To read your waiting E-Mail, you need to go to the "Q-Link Post Office." You will find a Post Office on the menu in all of the departments with the exception of the CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. To get the menu in PEOPLE CONNECTION, press the F7 key. Once inside the Post Office, select "Read Waiting Mail." The mail sent to you by other members will then appear. Once you have read a piece of E-Mail, it will be removed from the Q-Link system. E-Mail will also be automatically removed after 45 days of the date sent. Sometimes you receive E-Mail that is longer than your screen can display at one time. If this happens, you may "scroll" the text by using the up and down keys, located on the lower right hand corner of your keyboard. If you see the "MAIL" flag but Q-Link says "No mail waiting" when you try to read your mail, simply send mail to yourself, then read the mail. This will "unlock" the "MAIL" flag and cause it to disappear. If you are using a version 3 or version 4 Q-Link Program disk, you may save your mail by pressing F7 and choosing "Save mail" after you read it. You will need to put a formatted disk (not your Q-Link Program Disk) into the disk drive and select a filename for the mail. This filename must be at least one character and no more than 16 characters in length. Numbers, lowercase letters, a period and/or a slash may be used. Mail saved in this manner can be read offline using any sequential file reader or word processor. There is a sequential reader/printer, SPRINT, on the versions 3 and 4 Q-Link Program Disk or downloadable from the "Q-Link Utilities" section in the COMMODORE SOFTWARE SHOWCASE's Software Libraries under "Text File Readers."
