Creating and Editing Folders

You can store email messages in different folders. This is particularly useful if you have a lot of email and want to keep it organized. Current mailbox folders are listed below the program logo in the left Web-Based Email frame. The "Folders" menu item enables you to create and edit Web-Based Email mailbox folders.

You can also create new mail folders by utilizing the "New Folder" data entry field in the left-side column of the Web-Based Email window.

Clicking "Folders" will open Web-Based Email's "Folder Management" window.

Folder management options and elements are listed below:
