Is your Inbox getting too cluttered with all kinds of mail?

If so, folders are a great way to organize your e-mail messages and keep your Inbox uncluttered.

To create a new folder, here are 4 simple steps:

  • On the File menu, point to New, and then scroll over and down and click Folder.
  • (Or, if your Standard Toolbar is showing, use the drop down arrow next to New, and then select Folder.)
  • (Or, in your Folder List, right click on the folder where the new folder is to be located and select New Folder.)
  • In the Name box, enter a name for this new folder.
  • In the “Folder contains” box, click on one of the six types of folders you want to create.  (The default is Mail and Post Items.)
  • In the “Select where to place the folder” list, click on the desired location of the folder.  (For instance, if you click on Inbox, the new folder will be created as a sub-folder of the Inbox folder, and listed alphabetically according to the name.)
