Press
u
to display the Maildrop message. If your pager is equipped with
Maildrop history, the next screen is the Maildrop history list. This is a list of
up to eight different messages for this maildrop. The most recently received
message is displayed first (
K
), followed by up to seven history messages (
U
).
Note: Unique to maildrops, when a new message is received, the newest one
(
K
) is displayed at the top of the list. The older message is moved down to
one of the history slots and is now displayed with
U
. When this happens, the
older history message is considered to have been read, whether it actually
has been or not. If this feature has not been turned on by your service
provider, the maildrop history files may not be available on your pager.
If
[
is pointing to the message you want to read, go to Step 4. Otherwise,
press
w
until the message you want is at the top of the list.
Note: The list moves up; the indicator does not move down.

some maildrops with turned on alerts and others with alerts turned off. There
are two different procedures for setting alerts depending on the current alert
mode (either audible or silent) of the pager.
To turn a maildrop alert on or off when pager is in audible mode:

or

Receiving/Reading Super Maildrop Messages
This feature, along with the use of topics, allows your pager to receive and store
more powerful and sophisticated types of information services. The super
maildrop feature allows the pager to store up to 3000 topics. Each of these
topics can contain multiple messages.
Note: Please check with your service provider to determine if your pager’s
super maildrop feature is turned on.
Below is an example of super maildrops with alerts turned on (
b
) and alerts
turned off (
I
) as displayed on the Status screen.
If no super maildrops have received messages, no super maildrop icons are
displayed. You can turn on alerts and set the type of alert at the super maildrop
level and at the topic level (pages 25 and 26).
Additionally, with quickview, you can jump directly from the Status screen to
the message level. For more information about quickviews, see page 27.
