How to Add a New Mail Folder in Apple Mail

The Mac OS X operating system comes with the Apple Mail application automatically installed, which can be used to access POP, IMAP and Exchange email accounts. When you configure an email account in Apple Mail, all the associated mail folders will appear in the left pane. If you want to archive or organize messages, you can create new mail folders and transfer email data to them.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Mail" icon in the Dock to launch the Apple Mail program.

2. Go to "Mailbox" in the menu bar at the top of the screen and select the "New Mailbox" option.

3. Open the "Location" drop-down menu and choose the account in which you want to create the new mail folder.

4. Enter a label for the new mail folder in the "Name" field.

5. Press the "OK" button to create the new mail folder. It will now appear in the folder list on the left side of the Apple Mail window.
