| | WLM Subfolders? I like WLM because it's so much easier to handle my two different email accounts, but I don't understand why I can't have subfolders to help organize the messages and compact the folder list. When I right-click and select "New folder" it asks me to select the folder where I want to create the new one, but unless I suggest the top level for that email address it says "Note: You cannot create a folder inside this one" and the OK button is disabled. This seems kind of stupid... Is there any way around it? |

| | Re: WLM Subfolders? No. One cannot create subfolders within a folder in a given email account. Folders and subfolders can be created in WLM's Storage Folders. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "GESBuck" <GESBuck@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:391946DF-713A-4EC6-B9BF-7FE0ED4D8971@xxxxxx Quote: > I like WLM because it's so much easier to handle my two different email > accounts, but I don't understand why I can't have subfolders to help organize > the messages and compact the folder list.

| | Re: WLM Subfolders? .... if it's an HTTP account. POP and IMAP (at least Gmail) allow for subfolders. I once got up to nine levels deep with a POP account...

| | Re: WLM Subfolders? Yes...I assumed the op was using an http account since that is where the inability to create folders exists. I should have clarified that it can be done with pop3 or imap. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "Ildhund" <jnllb@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u4Gkqps#IHA.1148@xxxxxx Quote: > ... if it's an HTTP account.
