and don�t need to be viewed on all your devices

2.   Type in the folder you wish to create

3.   Click OK

The folder will display

4.   You may add sub-folders by clicking on Archive and repeating steps 1, 2 & 3.

You will now be able to view the folders. See below. Click on Personal Folders to see the Archive folder. To see the sub-folders click on Archive.

To remove the emails from your IMAP account (take them off the server) drag and drop your emails into the appropriate folder. You will be able to view the emails on your computer.
