Creating a New Folder

You can create new folders to help you organize OS X Mail items. For example, you can create a folder for a specific department or person and store all the messages pertaining to that the department or person in the folder.

New folders can be created as a folder directly under your personal folder or as a sub-folder under one of the existing folders, such as In box.
