Create New Subfolder

Use this to add subfolders to existing folders. Choose a folder from the list and enter the name of the new subfolder in the text field. Next, click New to create the new folder. The name of the new folder is in the format "existing_folder.new_subfolder".

The dot has a special significance in folder names. A dot is used as a hierarchy separator, similar to a "/" (slash) in directory names. For example, creating a folder named marketing.purchasing is like creating a directory marketing containing a file called purchasing. If you create another folder called marketing.sales, you have a directory containing two files. Important: If the folder marketing was not created beforehand, no mail can be placed in it.
