[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 870087, member: 88633"] Rbosely, if you look in the Finder under Macintosh HD, you'll find a folder called User Guides which has a few simple guides in them. You can get one of the manuals recommended already in this thread, but in the meantime, you can check out video tutorials which are easy to follow here: [url=http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/]Apple - Find Out How - Mac Basics[/url] Just like in Windows, your files can be saved anywhere. Your home folder (myname) CONTAINS your Documents folder, and within the Documents folder are folders for all your different documents. You can hit the New Folder button to create subfolders. [B]RIGHT now I have a new thingy on that right side. Trash. Two parts - MAC and my provider. MAC is empty, but roadrunner looks like a line to a Red Sox game.

Of your Mail window? It's tough to give you an answer when it's not clear just what you're talking about. I'm guessing you're talking about the Trash in the Dock, which is there permanently from the start.

You can restore mail from it if you want to; deleted messages will remain there until you right-click on the Trash can and permanently erase your old messages. The Trash in Mail is NOT the same Trash that's in your Dock. Putting unwanted mail in the Mail Trash does not make it appear in your Dock Trash. They each work separately.
