Email Management and Using Folders

Folders help you to maintain your emails in a structured and orderly fashion.

You can add, delete and rename folders whenever you like. Your Mail App contains several important folders by default.

Inbox: All incoming emails will be put here automatically. Sent: All emails you sent will be saved as a copy in this folder.

Drafts: Emails that are saved when being edited or that you explicitly save as drafts will be found in this folder. You can continue editing these emails at any time.

Deleted Items: All deleted messages will be moved into this folder if you selected the Trash folder management option (please refer to the See also: Email Management and Using Folders section for instructions).

Junk Email: You may create optional mail rules to route mail to this folder. Note that system-wide spam filtering is performed prior to spam ever reaching your inbox, so generally additional rules related to spam are not necessary.
