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.
