What Correspondents
Can Do

Display a list of all of your folders by leaving the Folder Name field blank and
pressing F1.
Display a subset of all your folders by entering a search pattern or name in the
Folder Name field and pressing F1.
A pattern includes one or more asterisks standing for any character or characters
in the position held by the asterisks. As an example, you could type B* in the
Folder Name field and press F1 to display all your folders whose names begin
with the letter B.
Display a list of folders for a group to which you belong by referencing the group
using a prefix. The form is group name . folder name . Search patterns can be
used in the folder name. For example, you can display all folders belonging to a
specific interest group by entering:
groupname .*
