By default, all your messages are stored in the Inbox. As the amount of messages grows, you may want to organise them according to theme, subject or even sender. To do this, you can create folders as you would anywhere in Windows – that is you can create a folder within another folder, or within a “nest” of folders.

To do this in Outlook Express:

1. Select the folder under which you want to create a new folder, then select New Folder from the File menu.
   
   
   
   
2. Enter a name for the folder, and click on OK.
3. To move an email message into the folder, simply drag and drop the message from the list of emails in the right pane into the new folder in the left pane.

You can also set up Outlook Express to automatically direct certain emails into selected folders. To find out more, click here.
