Creating Mailboxes and Folders
Eudora lets you create mailboxes to hold messages, and folders to hold mailboxes.
There are three ways to create mailboxes and folders.
■ Using the New command from the Mailbox menu and folder submenus.
■ Using the New command from the drop-down context menu in the Mailboxes window.
See “Using the Mailboxes Window” on page 101. Click the page number to display the
topic.
■ Using the New command from the Transfer menu. See “Transferring Messages” on
page 106. Click the page number to display the topic.
Note. Depending on whether your incoming mail server uses the POP or IMAP protocol,
there are some differences in the way mailboxes and mail folders are created, stored, and
managed. For more information, see “Mailbox and Folder Management: POP vs. IMAP
Server” on page 103. Click the page number to display the topic.
