Client chooses all folders or a folder currently available in the database (fig. 5) |
browse all mail headers (show msgid,date,sender,size in bytes and subject) (fig. 6) |
show chosen mail's body after the mail header browsing (fig. 14) |
optionally show the complete original MH mail in UNIX mailbox (fig. 15) |

This is Optimized browsing performance, compared to MH header browsing where header and body are stored in a single file and are not indexed |
