When a customer contacts your company through the contact form/support module or sends an email to your company a mail ticket is created. To access mail tickets enter IOdesk and navigate to Mail.

Tickets have four possible states they're new, open, solved and pending.

The new status means the ticket has not been opened or solved by an agent or the virtual assistant yet.
The open status means that the ticket has been claimed by an agent. When a ticket is open the agent can perform different actions to it such as answering, solving it and so on.
The solved status means that the ticket has been solved by an agent or the virtual assistant. Solved tickets are not displayed in the mail view.
Agents can change the status of open tickets to pending to get a reminder at a set date that they should get back to the ticket.

Switch between tickets

In the left menu, you can see how many open, new and team mail tickets there are.

Open, all your currently open mail tickets.
New, tickets that have not been claimed by an agent yet.
Team, tickets that are opened by other agents in your company and team.
Pending, tickets that you have set on hold. After a set date, a ticket with the pending status will be converted back to open and you will get a reminder to get back to that ticket.
Compose, send out a new email to a customer.

Open mail tickets are currently being viewed, simply press the ticket you want to answer view or answer.
