Alan,       -snip-        AZ> I'm assuming it's an Android smartphone (rather than an older 'feature        AZ> phone' with proprietary software) and he's using a (more or less)        AZ> generic Android email app...              I'm sure it uses Android since it wasn't a iPhone device.       I saw Verision(sp?) on one screen.               AZ> As you describe, the word Inbox appears at the top of the screen....        AZ> with a finger, swipe from the left-edge of the screen towards the        AZ> centre... you should see a list of mail folders, Outbox, Drafts, Trash,        AZ> Spam, etc. Tap on Outbox.               AZ> To get back to the Inbox, repeat the swipe from the left edge.              Thank You, I will tell him.              I watched him as he was swiping his finger on the phone, and got dizzy       seeing the display changing.              Of course He is used to using the device, all I ever did with a       cellphone is to dial a telephone number, and I only used one to call       someone probably less than 6 times in the last 6 years.              Which brings to my mind a story about what I did one time using a       "Cordless Phone" (not a Cellphone) when I was someones home.              Earlier that day I had used the remote handset to call someone, and I       was wanting to ReDial the number but couldn't find the ReDial Button       because the writing on the buttons was faded from years of use.              I was also wanting to turn the 'Speaker Phone' option ON before I       dialed the number, so everyone could listen to my call, and I looked       at all of the buttons trying to see what button to press and finally       decided the button in the top row that had been printed with RED INK       was the Speaker Phone button, IT WASN'T!, I heard 3 Beeps and realized       I pressed the button to call 911 Emergency Services, so I quickly       pressed the button to stop the call.              And then the telephone rang, it was the 911 Operator who I told that I       was unfamiliar with using the cordless phone and I had accidently       pressed the Emergency button.              After I finished talking to the Operator, I finally made out the       writing on the button to ReDial the last number.              I was thinking the number I had called earlier that day would be       redialed, but I heard the 3 Beeps again and realized it had called 911       again, and I apologized to another 911 Operator who answered the call.              So I manually dialed the number for the person I originally was wanting       to call, and a few minutes later, while I was talking on the phone,       I heard the Door Bell ring.              It was the Police checking to see if everything was all right at that       home.              Alan, One thing about me is that You don't have to Exaggerate when You       tell a story about me.       It's bad enough just telling the story as it is.               AZ> Note that either LG or the mobile provider may have replaced        AZ> the standard Android email app with something different, in        AZ> which case all bets are off!              I've been meaning to go to aol.com to see if they had a Help file for       their App that I could learn from, but You Replied to my question       before I got a ROUNDTUIT.
