Mail Folders

The Mail Folders screen allows you to either select a different mail folder to view or to create, rename or delete mail folders (mailboxes) and directories. The default set of mail folders on __SERVICE__ is INBOX, sent-mail and received. The Mail Folders screen looks something like the following:-


Create under with name
Refresh | Transfer Folders | Favourite Folders
[mailbox] INBOX    
[mailbox]received Rename Delete
[mailbox]saved-messages Rename Delete
[mailbox]sent-mail Rename Delete
[directory]testdir Rename Delete
Create under with name
Refresh | Transfer Folders | Favourite Folders

The bars above and below the folder listing

Create under with name

This enables the creation of mail folders or directories. For example selecting mailbox and typing a name such as projects will, once the Create button has been pressed, cause the display to change to include the newly created mail folder. Mailboxes can be created under existing directories.

Refresh checks the contents of the directory on the __SERVICE__.
Transfer Folders allows you to upload a local mail folder to __SERVICE__ or download a mail folder from __SERVICE__ to your local machine.
Favourite Folders displays a screen where you can choose a folder, or folders, to be added to a list of favourite mail folders. This list appears in the pull-down listing in the common toolbar, replacing the list of default folders. Once you have one or more Favourite mail folders an expanded set of actions becomes available. These are described on the help page associated with the Favourites selection screen.

The folder listing

You can keep all your mail in different folders in one directory, or you can create a storage system of directories that contain mail folders (the example given in this help text). While you can create mail folders in any directory, you need to be aware that different mail clients default to looking in different places.
