Otherwise they are left on the server.  `DELETE` is the normal setting, but `NODELETE` (or any other nonsense value) can be helpful for debugging, allowing the same messages to be downloaded from the POP3 server again and again.

 ### Creating Directories

+You will also want to create a couple of mailboxes such as `RECEIVED` and `SENT`.  If you do not create a `SENT` mailbox then SMPT65 will be unable to complete the sending of messages and will give an error.  To create these mailboxes, run `EMAIL.SYSTEM` and press `N` for N)ew mailbox.  At the prompt, enter the name of the mailbox to be created: `RECEIVED`, and press return.  Repeat this to create the the `SENT` mailbox.

+These are the minimum mailboxes you need to get started.  You may create more mailboxes to organize your mail at any time.

 ### Mailboxes
 
 Each mailbox consists of the following:
 
  - A directory under the email root, and within this directory
- - Optionally, email messages in plain text files named `EMAIL.nn` where `nn` is an integer value
+ - Email messages are stored on per file, in plain Apple II text files (with CR line endings) named `EMAIL.nn` where `nn` is an integer value
  - A text file called `NEXT.EMAIL`.  This file initially contains the number 1.  It is used when naming the individual `EMAIL.nn` files, and is incremented by one each time.  If messages are added to a mailbox and nothing is ever deleted they will be sequentially numbered `EMAIL.1`, `EMAIL.2`, etc.
  - A binary file called `EMAIL.DB`.  This file contains essential information about each email message in a quickly accessed format.  This allows the user interface to show the email summary without having to open and read each individual email file.  This file is initially empty and a fixed size record is added for each email message.
