You may know that in Windows, you can create new folders to help you organize your data. You can do the same thing within Outlook! In this lesson, we’re going to talk about how to create, edit, rename, and delete folders. We’ll also talk about some kinds of folders that are special to Outlook, including search folders and favourite folders.

The main purpose of creating a folder, of course, is so that your messages have a home! You can move messages to a folder in many ways:

-       Use Rules and Alerts

-       Drag and drop the message(s) into the folder

-       Select the messages and click the Move to Folder button () on the standard toolbar

-       Right-click on the message and choose Move to Folder

-       Use the Organize wizard
