Organize Email with Folders

Question: How can I organize my EMail?

Answer: If you've used EMail for any length of time, chances are that you have messages that you want to keep. If you have many messages in your inbox, though, it can make it difficult to find a specific EMail. Fortunately, all modern EMail programs allow you to sort your messages into folders.

To create a new mail folder in  Outlook/Outlook Express, move your mouse over the lefthand pane (which contains your Inbox, Outbox, etc) and click the right mouse button. Click on "New Folder," and type a name for it.

To move a message into a folder, first locate it in your Inbox, then click on it with your left mouse button. Hold the left mouse button down and move your mouse over the desired folder; once you have done so, release the left mouse button and the message will be moved to that folder.
