<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>
