How do I create new folders or delete folders that I don’t want in my Mail app?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The Mail app shows the folders that are configured with each mail account. If you need to create, rename, or delete a folder, sign in to the web service for your account, such as Hotmail, and make the changes there. Any changes you make to folders through your accounts’ web interface will be automatically reflected in Mail the next time you sync the account.
I to find it incredible that you have to return to the Web app to add or delete folders. I would have thought that this app would have all the functionality of Windows Live Mail.
One other function that I would really like to see is the ability to specify another EMail address to appear when I send a message. I have an ISP that I have an EMail address from and I would like to use that address to appear when I send a message. In Windows Live Mail I can do this and on my Blackberry Tablet I can do this surely Microsoft can provide this ability.
Absolutely agree. I find it incredible that Microsoft set this up this way. It's almost backwards and it is most definitely cumbersome to have to go to the web site to do all of this. Unbeleivable. I love Windows 8 so far but this is without a doubt their biggest ommission.
I'm giving this a very BIG "C'Mon Man!"
oh and ps Still no junk/spam filters!!!! Boo!
Finally an answer. I am loving my new windows 8 very much but there is a couple things I miss
terribly. Like all my 'right' click to add this or do that. And the ability to add folders to mail without having to go to the website, etc . Kind of a bummer on that.
