Your Dotpost Inbox

After you have logged into Dotpost you will be taken to your inbox. This will show you a list of all the documents that have been delivered to you. The  inbox is sorted by date so that your newest document will appear first.  The From field is the Sender of the document and will match one of the senders you have allowed to send you documents.

You can filter the documents by read status. You can also use the star option to mark selected documents and use this as a filter.
