Folders help you keep emails from one customer, project or supplier together.

  1. On the Email tab, right-click Inbox (or any folder), then click New Folder.

    Right-click a folder, New Folder

  2. The Parent Folder field shows the folder you right-clicked, so the new folder is created inside it. For a main folder, change Parent Folder to - Root Folder -. Enter a Name, then click Save.
