Mail Software Terminology: Clarification

[Janice Gelb <janiceg -at- MARVIN -dot- ENG -dot- SUN -dot- COM>]

Folks:

Sorry to follow-up with another message, but I don't think my first one
was clear. While it is helpful to find out what other mail GUIs call
their "inbox" in their menus, we're really stymied about what to call
these in a general way when describing processes to system
administrators, such as setting up the users "inbox," moving the user's
directory and "inbox," and so on. Most GUIs needs to have a title for
this mailbox; however, we're trying to figure out whether a title
should also be used in general sys admin instructions or whether in
that case it's a more generic usage. And, in all cases, whether it's
capitalized or hyphenated.

Sorry not to have been clearer in my original mail.

-- Janice
