Creating Mail Folders      Folders are storage areas in which you can group and store e-mail messages that are alike in some way. They allow you to access and organize your messages easily.      WebMail has created some folders for you. From the Inbox window, click on the down arrow next to the Folder box. You will see a pull-down menu of the existing folders. You do not need to file mail into these folders as WebMail does this automatically. To create a new folder, use the following procedure: Open the Folder window by using the File button on the tool bar from the Inbox window. (Note: The Folder window can also be accessed from the Read Message window.) In the Folder window, type the name of the folder that you want to create in the Folder box (see example below). Folder names should be descriptive and unique so that you will be able to locate your messages in the future. Note: If you are on the K12 server, you will need to put the word "Inbox", followed by a period, in front of the name of your folder. Example: Inbox.sciencedept. In the Description box, type a short description of the folder. Use the Create button to create your new folder. WebMail then returns to the Messages box and you will be in this newly created folder. To return to the New Mail Inbox, select New Mail-Mail Inbox from the pull-down menu. Assignment WebMail 9-A - Creating Folders:      Create at least two new folders in which to organize your mail.
