WebMail - Organizing Files in Folders

WebMail allows you to create folders to better organize your e-mail messages. All new e-mail initially goes to your main inbox folder which WebMail calls New-Mail. You can choose to leave mail in the inbox, or file it away in a folder of your choice. To get started working with files, click the File icon.

You should now be at the WebMail - Select Folder screen which you can see in the following two examples.

Creating Folders

To create a folder, you will use the bottom portion of the folder screen. Type the name you'd like to use for your folder in the Folder: box. You may optionally include a text description in the Description: box. Then click the Create button at the bottom.

After you click the Create button and actually make your folder, you will then be looking inside of your new blank folder which might look something like this:

Deleting Folders

To delete a folder, first select the folder from the Folder: drop down box near the top of the folder screen. Then click the Delete button nearby. You should then see a prompt warning you of how many messages are in the folder you are trying to delete.

To continue and delete the folder (and the messages in it), click the Green Check Mark. To cancel the deletion, click the Red X.

Switching Folders / Viewing a Folder's Contents

At the bottom of every WebMail screen, you should see the folder navigation bar:

You can see a list of the folders you've created by clicking the white drop-down box. To view a different folder, first select it in the drop-down list, and then click the Go button directly to the right.

Remember, new mail will always come into your "New-Mail" folder first, so remember to go back there when you are looking for new messages.
