The Folders page is used for Creating, Renaming, and Deleting mail folders and subfolders.

Default Folders

When your account is created you will start with four folders that cannot be deleted or renamed. The four default folders are:

• Inbox - This is your main mail folder. When incoming email messages are collected, this is the default folder in which they will be stored. Messages can be automatically routed to alternate folders by using Filters.

• Drafts - This folder is used for storing messages which you havenÆt yet completed or you wish to send later. Messages will be moved to the Drafts folder when you click Send Later on the Compose or Spell Check page.

• Sent - When you send an email message, a copy of it will be stored in your Sent folder. This is useful for keeping a record of and/or reviewing all messages that you have sent in the past. Depending upon your account settings, this feature may not be available to you. Check with your mail administrator for information about the availability of this feature.

• Trash - This folder is used to protect you from accidentally deleting messages. When you Delete a message from the Message Listing it will be moved to the Trash folder rather than immediately deleted. Depending upon your particular account settings, messages contained in the Trash folder may be deleted when you log out or a specific limit is reached. Contact your mail administrator to determine what size or number limitations (if any) may be applied to your account.
