Creating additional folders:

A folder is used for storing e-mails. For example, your Inbox stores new and undeleted e-mail while your Outbox stores e-mail waiting to be sent. You can create new folders to hold specific types of e-mail. You can even enable Outlook Express to automatically filter and place those emails in the folders you create when the e-mail arrives. For information on filtering, click the 'Message filters' link above.
