   6       You can store messages in different folders.  This is
   7       especially useful if you have a lot of email and want
   8       to keep it organized.  The folders option allows
   9       manipulation of your folders.

  15       Subscribed Folders and the Left Frame
  16    </title>
  17    <description>
  18       <p>
  19       Currently subscribed folders are listed in the colored
  20       area to the left.  This frame may be set to automatically
  21       refresh in the Options page.  At the top of the left
  22       frame is large and bolded heading.  If changes have been
  23       made to the subscribed folders using the folders menu
  24       item, this list can be refreshed with the link below the
  25       title.  Oddly enough, this link is titled "refresh folder
  26       list".
  27       </p><p>
  28       The first folder listed contains received mail.  To the
  29       right of the first folder is a number in parentheses
  30       "( )" reflecting the count of <i>unread</i> emails.
  31       This number is likely to vary from the total number
  32       of emails displayed in the right frame.  Under the main
  33       folder are likely to be other folders or subfolders.
  34       Colors for these folders will change with theme choices
  35       made in the options page.

  42       Delete

  44    <description>
  45       <p>
  46       You may delete any folder displayed in the drop down list box to
  47       the left of the Delete button.  Notice that this list may <b>not</b>
  48       include all the folders displayed.  The special folders such as
  49       your sent or your trash folder cannot be deleted, and of course,
  50       you cannot delete INBOX.

  60    <description>
  61       <p>
  62       Folders may be created by simply typing the desired name into the
  63       text box and pressing the Create button.  If you wish that this folder
  64       be a subfolder of another one, you can choose that in the drop-down
  65       box with the list of folders.
  66       </p>
  67       <p>
  68       On some mail servers, there are two types of folders.
  69       One that contains messages, and one that
  70       contains folders.  You may see an option called "Let this folder contain
  71       subfolders."  If you do and you check that, the folder you create will
  72       only be able to contain folders and not any messages.  Otherwise, you
  73       will only be able to store messages in it and not folders.

  82    <description>
  83       <p>
  84       You may rename any folder displayed in the drop down list box to the
  85       left of the Rename button.  Notice that this list may <b>not</b>
  86       include all the folders displayed in the left frame.  For obvious
  87       reasons, you cannot rename the sent, trash, or INBOX folders.

  94       Unsubscribe and Subscribe
  95    </title>
  96    <description>
  97       Definitions:<br />
  98       <i>Subscribe</i>: To register a folder with the mail server, allowing
  99                         you to view it in the folder listings.<br />
 100       <i>Unsubscribe</i>: The opposite of subscribing.  This unregisters a
 101                         folder with the mail server.<br />
 102       <br /><p>
 103       You may choose as many folders as you wish from either the subscribe
 104       or the unsubscribe box, then click the button under the box to make
 105       the action take effect.  You will notice that the folders move to the
 106       other box.  You can then re-subscribe to them, or unsubscribe again
 107       as you wish.
