How To Use Email Folders

Webmail comes with a set of default folders: Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Spam and Trash. These folders are system-level folders which means they are required for basic operation of email and can't be deleted.

• Inbox: new email is delivered to this folder.
• Drafts: messages that you begin writing and then save before sending are stored in this folder.
• Sent Items: mail that has been sent from webmail is stored in this folder when you have selected "Save" in General Settings under "Save sent messages".
• Spam: email that is suspected as being spam is quarantined in this folder. Spam email that is more than seven (7) days old is automatically deleted.
• Trash: deleted email is stored in this folder. Email in the trash folder that is more than seven (7) days old is automatically deleted.
