[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 869940, member: 24098"] OS X, and most UNIX-style operating systems use "home" folder. Each user gets their own "Home" folder (located in /Users/<your user name>), where documents, settings and data that pertain specifically to your account are stored. This is very similar to your profile directory on a Windows machine (Typically C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>, but that convention has changed several times, depending on the version of Windows we're talking about). Your "Documents" folder is stored within that Home folder. There is also a folder for Photos, Music, Movies, etc... Are you referring to Apple's Mail program? If so, you have a seperate Trash can for each of your email accounts you have Mail setup to check. If there are items in those Trash cans that you want to keep, make sure you drag and drop them back to your Inbox. It's still in the inbox unless you moved it elsewhere. If you want it to remain there, just close the window. First things first, MAC is not an acronym. Mac is short for Macintosh, so there's no need to capitalize it :) Pages is part of Apple's iWork suite (similar to how Word is part of Microsoft's Office suite). It's not "official", any more than Word is Windows' official wordprocessor. There are many other good ones, including Writer in OpenOffice, Word for Mac (In Microsoft Office for Mac), Bean, AbiWord, and countless others. To be quite honest, Pages was never really a wordprocessor until just recently. It started out life as a page layout program, and it shows. While it's decent enough for casual writing, I prefer OpenOffice's Writer. [/QUOTE]
