Create a folder

Folders provide a way to organize email messages. You can create your own folders or use default folders:

  • Inbox. All incoming emails are stored in the Inbox.
  • Drafts. If you create or respond to an email, but cannot finish it right away, it will automatically be saved to your Drafts folder. You can come back to the message later to continue editing it, and then send it.
  • Sent. A copy of every message you send is stored in your Sent folder.
  • Starred. This folder is used for flagged emails.
  • Spam. The location for storing unwanted emails.
  • Trash. Deleted items are placed in the Trash folder and remain there until you manually empty the trash or until the folder is purged automatically.
