Manage Folders

Webmail allows you to create folders where you receive and organize your email messages. Incoming messages are automatically put in your Inbox.

System-created folders include Inbox, Sent, Draft; Junk, and Trash. Folder view also shows the total number of messages in the folder and total unread messages in each folder. Folders created by the user have check boxes before their name.

You can create folders and file messages according to project, mail group, date, company, and so forth. When a folder is no longer needed, you can delete it.

Note: You cannot delete system-created folders; folders that cannot be deleted do not have a checkbox next to their name.

Once you have created a set of folders, you can copy and move messages between folders.

You can use filters to sort incoming mail. Messages are then sorted by a set of parameters, and put in the appropriate folders.

Folder Naming Conventions - Every folder on the message server must have a unique name made up of characters from the list below:
- Letters ("A" through "Z" and "a" through "z")
- Numbers ("0" through "9")
- Space (" ")
- Hyphen ("-") Underscore ("_")
Special Characters You Cannot Use: You cannot use the following characters in folder names because they have special meanings:
- Dot (.): Used as a hierarchy separator in folder paths. Folder paths cannot start or end with a dot, nor can they contain two dots in a row.
- Front slash (/): Used as a hierarchy separator.
- Plus sign (+): Used to address subfolders of user Inboxes or shared folders that do not belong to a particular user.
