<H3>Creating a New Mailbox</H3>
<P>You can create as many mailboxes as you want to in order to store and classify
your mail. You can create mail folders to store groups of mailboxes and further
organize your messages.</P>
<OL>
<LI>Select the <B>Mailbox>New...</B> command. A dialog box is displayed asking
you to name the new mailbox.</LI><BR><BR>
<LI>Enter a name. It can be up to 27 characters long, and can contain any character
except colons (:).</LI><BR><BR>
<LI>If you want to create a folder for mailboxes, click on the <B>Make it a
folder </B>checkbox. Click <B>OK</B>.</LI><BR><BR>
<LI>If you did not choose <B>Make it a folder</B>, the new mailbox is created
and is now listed in the <B>Mailbox</B> and <B>Transfer</B> menus. If you
did choose <B>Make it a folder</B>, the new folder is created and the dialog
box reappears, letting you create a new mailbox to put in the new folder.
Enter a name for the new mailbox and click <B>OK</B>. The new mailbox is created
in that folder and is now listed under the <B>Mailbox</B> and <B>Transfer</B>
menus.</LI>
</OL>
<P><B>Tip:</B> To create a new mailbox and transfer a message into it all in one
step, just select the <B>Transfer>New...</B> command.</P>
<H4>Using the Mailboxes Window</H4>
<P>You can use the Mailboxes window to create, rename, or remove mailboxes and
mail folders, and to move mailboxes and folders from one folder to another.</P>
<OL>
<LI>Select <B>Window>Mailboxes</B>. The Mailboxes window is displayed. The
Mailboxes window shows the mailbox files and folders you have created, in
a display format similar to a Finder window in list view. Double-click on
a folder to show or hide its contents—or, click on its triangle button.
(Double-clicking on a mailbox opens that mailbox.) Move through the list using
the up and down arrow keys. The three buttons at the bottom of the window
are, left to right, <B>New Mailbox</B>, <B>New Folder</B>, and <B>Remove</B>.</LI><BR>
<BR>
<LI>Click on the <B>New Mailbox</B> or <B>New Folder</B> button to create a
new mailbox or folder. Type the new name in the name box, then press <B>Return</B>.</LI>
<P><B>Tip:</B> To create a new mailbox or new folder inside an existing folder,
click once on the folder's icon to highlight it, then click <B>New Mailbox</B>
or <B>New Folder</B>. Note that the existing folder must be open, however
(its contents displayed).</P>
<LI>To rename a mailbox or folder, click once on the item's name box. After
a short pause, the box is highlighted for editing. Type in the new name and
press <B>Return</B>.</LI><BR><BR>
<LI>To remove a mailbox or folder, select the item (click on its icon) and click
the <B>Remove</B> button. A dialog is displayed asking you to confirm the
request. If you are removing one item, click <B>Remove It</B> to remove the
item or <B>Cancel</B> if you change your mind. If you are removing multiple
items, click <B>Remove It</B> to remove the items one at a time, click <B>Remove
All</B> to remove them all at once, or click <B>Cancel</B> to cancel the operation
(but any items removed to that point are gone and cannot be recovered).</LI><BR>
<BR>
<LI>Use standard drag-and-drop operations to move mailboxes and folders into
other folders.</LI>
</OL>
<P><B>Tip:</B> You can drag a mailbox from the Mailboxes window to the main toolbar
to create a mailbox button. You can then open that mailbox at any time just
by clicking on its toolbar button. You can also transfer messages to that mailbox
by dragging them to the toolbar button: drag selected message summaries, or
drag an open message by its Proxy icon. (To remove the toolbar button at
some later time, hold down the <B>Command</B> key and click the toolbar button,
then click <B>Remove Button</B> from the Toolbar Button Creation dialog.)</P>
