Folders
</title>
<summary>
You can store messages in different folders. This is
especially useful if you have a lot of email and want
to keep it organized. The folders option allows
manipulation of your folders.

Subscribed Folders and the Left Frame
</title>
<description>
<p>
Currently subscribed folders are listed in the colored
area to the left. This frame may be set to automatically
refresh in the Options page. At the top of the left
frame is large and bolded heading. If changes have been
made to the subscribed folders using the folders menu
item, this list can be refreshed with the link below the
title. Oddly enough, this link is titled "refresh folder
list".
</p><p>
The first folder listed contains received mail. To the
right of the first folder is a number in parentheses
"( )" reflecting the count of <i>unread</i> emails.
This number is likely to vary from the total number
of emails displayed in the right frame. Under the main
folder are likely to be other folders or subfolders.
Colors for these folders will change with theme choices
made in the options page.

Delete
</title>
<description>
<p>
You may delete any folder displayed in the drop down list box to
the left of the Delete button. Notice that this list may <b>not</b>
include all the folders displayed. The special folders such as
your sent or your trash folder cannot be deleted, and of course,
you cannot delete INBOX.

Create
</title>
<description>
<p>
Folders may be created by simply typing the desired name into the
text box and pressing the Create button. If you wish that this folder
be a subfolder of another one, you can choose that in the drop-down
box with the list of folders.
</p>
<p>
On some mail servers, there are two types of folders.
One that contains messages, and one that
contains folders. You may see an option called "Let this folder contain
subfolders." If you do and you check that, the folder you create will
only be able to contain folders and not any messages. Otherwise, you
will only be able to store messages in it and not folders.

Rename
</title>
<description>
<p>
You may rename any folder displayed in the drop down list box to the
left of the Rename button. Notice that this list may <b>not</b>
include all the folders displayed in the left frame. For obvious
reasons, you cannot rename the sent, trash, or INBOX folders.

Unsubscribe and Subscribe
</title>
<description>
Definitions:<br />
<i>Subscribe</i>: To register a folder with the mail server, allowing
you to view it in the folder listings.<br />
<i>Unsubscribe</i>: The opposite of subscribing. This unregisters a
folder with the mail server.<br />
<br /><p>
You may choose as many folders as you wish from either the subscribe
or the unsubscribe box, then click the button under the box to make
the action take effect. You will notice that the folders move to the
other box. You can then re-subscribe to them, or unsubscribe again
as you wish.
