What is the purpose of creating a folder in my inbox?

Creating folders in your inbox will allow you to classify the emails you receive according to the criteria you choose.

All you have to do is create a folder in your inbox, then set up a filter that will automatically redirect the messages you receive to this folder.

The procedure differs slightly depending on the graphic theme used in Roundcube. This documentation explains the two procedures depending on the theme you are using.

Procedure if you are using the Larry? theme

1. Connect to the webmail of the e-mail account for which you want to create a new folder.
2. Go to the"Settings" section

3. Go to the"Folders" section and click on the"+" icon.

4. Enter the name of the folder to be created, its parent folder and click OK.

5. Your folder has now been created, and you can manually sort the emails you want into it, or create a filter that will automatically sort the emails.

If you want to delete a folder, go to "Settings", then "Folders".

Procedure if you use the Elastic? theme

1. Connect to the webmail of the email account for which you want to create a new folder.

2. Click on the"Settings" icon on the left-hand side of your screen.

Click on"Folders" and then on"Create" to create your new folder.

Fill in the fields as follows:

• Foldername: This is the name you will give to your folder.
• Parent folder: You can define that this must be a sub-folder of an existing folder.
• Message retention rule: you can choose to keep your emails indefinitely or for a few weeks.

Finally, click on"Save" to save your new folder.
