Organizing your Email with Folders

The most common way is to set up folders in your inbox. The advantage of this is that you can get to it through webmail since it is on the server. And you can even set up rules to immediately put some email directly into a folder when it arrives (more on this later). But the disadvantage is that it still takes up server space, so if you are getting a lot of messages from the System Administrator about the size of your mailbox, this won't help you.

• Open Outlook
• If you don't see the folder list, then click on View and go to Folder List.
• Once you have this list, click on Inbox once to highlight it.
• Then go to File
• New
• Folder
• Type in the name and then you will have the new folder.

Now if you want to save email messages you can just click and drag email from your Inbox (or anywhere) into the folders you created. This is a great way to organize your email. Then when you want to look at the email in that folder, just click on the folder.
