Creating a new folder
To keep certain messages separate from your regular mail, you can
create a new folder. An example of why you may want to do this would be to
keep all of your jokes or business mail separate from the rest of your mail.
To create a new folder:
-
In the Outlook Express window, click the File menu, point to Folder,
then click New Folder. The Create Folder dialog box will open. (See
figure 1)
-
In the Folder name box, type a name for the folder. For example, Pictures.
(See figure 2)
-
In the Folder List box, select where
you want to place your new folder. (See figure 3)
-
Click OK.
Moving messages to a
folder
Now you can move or copy messages to it. Here's how to get
your messages to the new folder.
To move a message to a folder:
-
In the message list, select the message you want to move by clicking it.
-
With the message(s) selected, click
the Edit menu, then click Move to Folder. The Move dialog box
will open. (Figure 4)
-
In the Folder List box, click the
destination folder, then click OK to close the Move dialog box.
-
Your message
will be stored in the specified folder. (Figure 5)
Deleting a folder
If you have a folder that you no longer want, you can delete it.
When you delete a folder and its contents, they're gone forever. They don't
appear in the Recycle Bin or in the Deleted Items folder.
To delete a folder and its
contents:
-
In the Folder List, click the folder you want to delete.
-
On the toolbar, click the Delete button. Or, click the Delete key on your
keyboard.
-
If you are sure, click the Yes button.
Note: The Inbox folder, the Sent folder, the Deleted Items folder, and
the Drafts folder cannot be deleted.
