ABSTRACT:
An information managing apparatus for managing received electronic mail has a memory for successively storing entered electronic mail, a CPU having a program for managing the electronic mail stored by the memory, a display unit for displaying electronic mail managed by the CPU, and a tablet for making an entry relative to the electronic mail displayed by the display unit. The tablet allows the user to establish a retention period with respect to the displayed electronic mail. The CPU stores the electronic mail with the retention period added thereto in the memory and deletes the electronic mail with the added retention period which has expired as detected by comparison with a timer at a given period of time.
