Creating additional folders:

Creating folders helps you to organize your e-mail.  Certain types of e-mail messages can be placed in the folders you create.  Folders work well with message rules.  To learn about message rules, click the 'Message rules' link above.

To create a folder in Outlook XP, follow these simple steps:

On the Toolbar, click File -> Folder -> New Folder from the menus.

Name  =  give the folder a distinctive name.  This will help you distinguish from any others you may create.

To make the new folder a subfolder of your inbox, highlight 'Inbox' and click OK.

If you'd like the folder to appear in your Outlook Bar, click 'Yes'.  Otherwise, click 'No'.

In this example, I clicked 'Yes'.

The newly created folder now appears in the list My Shortcuts.

You can create as many as you need.
