3. To place the folder inside of an existing folder, click the Create in drop-down menu and select a destination folder.
4. Click the Save button. The new folder will appear in the Email Folders list.

Note: You may also want to create email filters, so that incoming email is automatically filtered into those folders. To learn more, please see the help topic, “Add a Filter.”
