Section 1: Advanced Organization Tools
By now, you’re probably quite familiar with creating messages and working with the default folders in Outlook. However, Outlook gives you the ability to create your own folders to manage your mail. In this lesson, we’ll learn about creating, renaming, deleting, and using folders.
Creating Folders
To create a new folder, you can click the File menu, choose New, and click Folder.
You can also use the Ctrl + Shift + E shortcut, or right-click a folder and click New Folder.
You will then see this dialogue:
At the top, type a name for your folder. Then, choose what type of items you want it to contain. Then, choose what folder you want to place it underneath. When you’re ready, click OK.
If you later decide to change the name of your folder, simply right-click it and click Rename.
Your cursor will then appear in the folder name. Just type a new name and press Enter.
Note that default folders (such as inbox and junk e-mail) cannot be renamed.
To change the location of a folder, you can drag and drop it. Here, we are dropping My Folder into the Inbox.
Now, the Inbox will have a plus sign next to it, indicating that it contains subfolders. You can click the plus sign to show the folders, or click the minus sign to hide the folders.
You can also right-click a folder to move or delete it.
If you choose the Delete option, the folder will be moved to Deleted Items. If you choose Move or Copy, you will see a dialogue like the following.
Here, you can choose a destination folder and click OK.
Moving messages to your folders is easy! One way is to click the message and drag it to your desired folder.
You can also select the message and click the Move to Folder button on the Standard toolbar. You can then choose a recently used folder in the list, or click the More Folders button to see a complete list of folders.
