Q: mail icons - what is the "box with arrow" 3rd icon over?

Hi,

When I am reading an email the 3rd icon on the bottom of the screen looks like a box with an arrow over it. What is that icon? When I click it the email seems to disappear. Once in awhile I see the trashcan icon, but not usually?

Thanks

Joe

From your description, it could be the "print attachment" icon

or "send photo" icon

Joe,

Is this a Gmail account?

The icon you describe is to archive the email. Since Gmail keeps all you email, it's essentially the equivalent of trash.

In non-Gmail accounts, that icon is replaced with the Trash icon.
