How do you create folders in Hotmail?I've been working with hotmail for a long time and all my pals have my Hotmail address, so I am not interested in leaving for another web-based email service. I am, however, interested in learning how to organize my huge mailbox a bit better, and was hoping you could explain how to create and use a folder? If you can look beyond the advertising all over the page, Hotmail is a reasonably reliable web-based email solution, and certainly one that's been around since even before the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. It's ancient in Web terms! The interface isn't the most sophisticated, but it's still serviceable. To create a new folder, look on the left side of your Hotmail account window and notice that under all the folder names is "Manage Folders":  Click on that, and you'll go to a screen with a nice overview of your existing mailboxes and folders, but it'll also include the all-important set of buttons on the top graphical element:  Click on "new" and you'll be asked for the name of your new folder:  Type in the desired name, click "OK" and you've now got a folder set up in your Hotmail account. I created a test folder called "Test Folder", ingeniously enough. It's pretty easy! Now whenever you read a message and want to save it in the new folder, simply choose the message or messages, then click on "Put in Folder", which shows you a list of possible folders, including the new one you've created:  I hope that'll get you going with Hotmail folders. And stay tuned - rumor has it that the next generation of the Hotmail web interface is going to be quite an improvement!

when typing an email in hotmail the text wrap won't work Posted by: Colin at March 19, 2008 12:41 PMOver time, I have developed too many hotmail FOLDERS. How can I delete ENTIRE HM FOLDERS, in order to start condensing things, Rick Posted by: Rick at April 22, 2008 4:46 PMYou would have to agree that making folders is a no-brainer. The thing I can't do however (and I hope I am not missing something obvious) is to make a folder WITHIN another folder, that is, arrange folders in a hierarchical manner. if you can't do that, the you will end up with a dozens of folders that you need to scroll through to find the right one.
