Creating a New Folder

To organize your Inbox, you may want to make additional folders to store related email messages together. Let's create a new folder.

1. First click on the New button and using the pull-down menu, scroll down to select Folder.

2. Type a name for the new folder in the line provided. Try to select a name that will describe what the folder contains. For example, a "Friends," "Family," or "Miscellaneous" folder stores emails from friends, family or miscellaneous senders. Click OK.

3. Back in your Inbox, click once on the box next to the Hotmail Staff email to select it. You will now place this message in the Miscellaneous folder.

4. Click on the pull-down menu which says Put in Folder, located above the Subject header.

4. Scroll down to select the new Miscellaneous folder that the message is to be stored in. You have just used your new folder!
