Creating Folders
It may be necessary, at times, to manage the many items you might receive on your Outlook Webmail account. To help you keep various items in order, Outlook Webmail allows you to create new folders in addition to the default folders already provided.

-
From the Navigation pane, click MANAGE FOLDERS...
The Manage Folders options appear. -
In the Create New Folder section, from the Create folder in pull-down list, select a location for the new folder
HINT: The folder you create will become a subfolder of the location you choose.
-
In the Folder name text box, type a name for the new folder
-
Click CREATE
Your new folder will appear in the Folders list, which automatically alphabetizes folders by title.
Organizing Folders
For more efficient organization as you receive more items on your Outlook Webmail account, it may be necessary to alter your arrangement of messages and folders. The following instructions explain how to move both messages and folders in Outlook Webmail.
