Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Organizing mail into folders, part of Outlook 2016 Essential Training.
- If you find that your inbox is getting a bit unruly…and there's simply to much email in there to handle well,…you may be ready to start filling it into folders.…You file an email into a folder…when you aren't ready to delete it,…but you absolutely don't want to see is in your inbox.…To create a new folder, right click your inbox…and select new folder.…I can type to give it a name,…I'll call this one 128 Main and hit the enter key.…The folders been created and I can access it…by clicking the triangle next to inbox.…
Now I can start moving mail into that folder…and I do that by clicking and dragging with my mouse…and letting go once I'm over the folder.…I can click inside the folder and there's the email.…I can also create sub-folders the same way.…I'll right click on my folder, select new folder…and it becomes a sub-folder of the one I just created.…I'll give Leslie her own folder…right inside my 128 Main folder.…Now I can click to expand it.…
I can move more than one message inside a folder…by holding down the shift key, selecting the messages…
