How To Create Custom Folders in Webmail

Here's how you get started.

2. Click Folders in the overhead menu.

• The Folders page opens.

3. To create a folder as a subfolder of INBOX, leave the drop down menu at the INBOX default.

4. Type the name of the subfolder in the as a subfolder of field.

5. Click the Create button.

• The Folders page will refresh and you will see the message Created folder successfully! at the top of the Folders page.

6. Click the refresh folder list link just under the message.

• The new folder will appear in the left-hand folder list.

• NOTE: While the default folders appear as a dull red color, any custom folders you create appear in black text.

• You can now click on INBOX or any other folder in the left-hand menu and manage your emails. You can repeat this process to create all of the folders you will need for organizing your emails.
