    Creating Sub-Folders

    Can I create a Folder in a Folder? Exmp: I have created a Folder named
    Accounts and would like to create subfolders in that Accounts folder, (i.e.;
    AMD, Paypal, eBay, etc,).



    Thanks

    Well, have you tried it? That should give you the answer.

    Yes.
    Some of my storage folders are 3-4 levels deep.
    In my account inbox I have several folders & at least one has a subfolder.

    My normal approach is to actually try something before asking if it can be
    done. Saves time waiting for responses, if the trial is successful.

    BTW, as noted by others, yes, it is possible.

    Re: Creating Sub-Folders

    None of the above work for me.

    Let me be clearer on this. I am attempting to create subfolders in Windows
    Live Mail (Mail). I assume since this is a Windows live mail mail user
    group that is understood.

    I created an folder named Accounts (that worked fine). Now when I read a new
    email and want to save it a new sub-folder of accounts called (ie, Paypal),
    I cannot. All I get is some bell going off (no explanation and no sub-folder
    in Accounts ever gets created?

    Sound this response in Windows Vista Forums: Vista - Hotmail sub folders in
    Windows Live Mail

    Is it possible to create folders within folders in Hotmail folders list?

    No.. you can not create a folder inside a folder in the Hotmail UI or WLM
    using http protcol(WebDAV, DeltaSync). For pop3 accounts, the answer is the
    opposite.. Yes.

    I use Hotmail in Windows Live Mail...

    That is correct. Hotmail does not support sub-folders, although
    Windows Live Mail does.

    Re: Creating Sub-Folders

    If a Hotmail account(Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com or derivative of the same domain e.g. Live.ca, Live.au) and that account is
    setup using the Http(DeltaSync) protocol, then subfolders creation is not possible.
