From the<B>Fo</B><U>l</U><B>der</B> pull-down menu, you can make amail folder active, create new mail folders, open, close, and savechanges to mail folders, and select or deselect mail folders.<P>Message folders are files that contain one or more mail messages.The system folder, called the<B>In-Box</B>, is the default mailbox. It isopened and displayed when you launch<CITE>Ishmail</CITE>. Incoming mailmessages are stored in the<B>In-Box</B> until you delete them or movethem to a different folder. Each<CITE>Ishmail</CITE> user has a unique<B>In-Box</B>.<P><CITE>Ishmail</CITE> can work with three different types of folder formats,which together are the most commonly used among mailprograms. You should be able to use existing mail folders createdby most other mail programs. The supported folder formats are:<UL><LI>UNIX (<CITE>mailx</CITE>)<P></LI><LI><CITE>mh</CITE><P></LI><LI><CITE>MMDF</CITE><P></LI></UL><P>See<A HREF="6wXf7fBT.L9X3cS.html">Folder Preferences Option</A> for more information about folderformats.<P>You can create other folders and use them for organizingmessages. The folders can exist anywhere in the file system thatyou have read/write privileges, and you can assign to them anyname you wish within the limits of your operating system's filenaming conventions. The file system directory structure can beused to provide a hierarchy for collections of folders.<P><HR><B>NOTE:</B><BR>Security andaccess privileges for folders arethe same as those provided for files in theUNIX file system.<CITE>Ishmail</CITE> does not provide anyadditional access controls or security.<HR></P><H2><A NAME="LLY.bKBv3M9X3cS">Folder Menu Options</H2><P>To choose an option in the<B>Fo</B><U>l</U><B>der</B> pull-down menu, either click onthe option, type its associated mnemonic (the underscored letterin the option's name) or type its associated<B>Ctrl</B>-key sequence.Some<B>Fo</B><U>l</U><B>der</B> options have an additional cascading menu and/ordialog window.<B>Fo</B><U>l</U><B>der</B> options are:<DL><DT><U>N</U><B>ew ...</B><DD>Creates a new mail folder or a folder directory.
