Folder Menu

This menu contains all of the choices that deal with the multiple folder feature. All of these choices operate on the folder structure within the currently active account. This menu will let you perform the following actions:

Create Folder
This will display the New Folder dialog from within which you can fill in the information about the folder to be created.
If the selected account is a news reader account, then this command is used also to subscribe to a newsgroup, write the name of the newsgroup as the name of folder to be created.

Create Subfolder
This will display the New Folder dialog from within which you can fill in the information about the folder to be created. Once this is done, the folder becomes a child of the currently active folder.

Delete
This will delete the currently selected folder and all of its contents. So, be careful that the proper folder is selected before you choose this menu option.
