Creating a New Outlook Inbox Folder

Folders are an important way to organize all of your emails in Outlook. The first step is to create folders for your emails. If you have three hundred emails in your Inbox, there is an issue of wasting time finding the email you need. If you have specific folders such as "Work, Math, English, Family, etc." the task of finding an email you need is much easier. A quick method for making a folder in the Outlook Inbox is to press and hold down the Control and Shift keys and hit the letter e. Then, type a name for your new folder, and hit the Enter key one time. Try the following activity to create folders that meet your needs. When you are finished there is a link titled "BACK" at the bottom of this page that will take you to the "Outlook Lessons" web page.
