Chosen solution

There are a couple of ways to do this, so choose your prefered method.

To create a new folder in a mail account:

  • right click on mail account name in folder Pane
  • select New Folder

or

  • select mail account name in Folder Pane.
  • File > New > Folder

or

  • select mail account name in Folder Pane.
  • Menu Icon > New Message > Folder

give folder a name and click on 'Create Folder' button.


To create a new sub folder:

  • Select the folder in account
  • File > New > Subfolder

or

  • right click on folder
  • select New Folder


You can also modify your selection: If you did not have the correct mail account selected or folder After selecting eg: file > New > Folder the pop up window allows you select : Create as subfolder of: select mail account name or folder.


To move emails from one folder to another folder: Again there are a couple of different methods to choose.

  • Right click on email
  • select : Move to and select folder from list

or 'Drag and drop' method

  • left click and hold down to grab email
  • then drag email to left and hover over the folder
  • release mouse to drop into folder.

You can move more than one email.

  • highlight selected emails
  • then right click on highlighted emails and use the 'Move to' method.

or

  • left click and hold down on hightlighted emails and use drag and drop method.

How to hightlight emails in list: To highlight several emails as a block:

  • click on first email
  • hold down 'Shift' key and click on last email

To highlight a selection of emails that are no necessarily next to each other:

  • Hold down 'Ctrl' key and use mouse to click to select emails.

To hightlight all emails in a folder:

  • click on first email to get focus
  • hold down 'Ctrl' key and press 'A'.
