7 Managing Email - organising it all into folders

Emails can be sorted out and organised into local folders. To create a new folder, click on File in the Menu Bar, and select Folder to create it. A dialog box will appear, so you can type in the name you want the folder to have. Then click OK. Your new folder will be entered in the Folder Frame.

Then, to move a message into that folder, select the correct Message Header in the Inbox folder by clicking once. Select Edit Menu. The ‘Move to folder’ command allows us to move the selected message from its current folder to any of the other mail folders. Use the ‘Copy Folder’ command to place a copy in the chosen folder. The ‘Move’ dialog box appears. Then click the folder in which you want to move the message.
