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.

    This is terrible.  We should be able to add them when we are reading email.  Certainly this is a giant step backwards.

    May be helpful--I've yet to see.  Isn't my (new) Mail account the Windows 10 "MAIL ?  In upgrading, I agreed to incorporate a Gmail account: perhaps it's still that?  I'll now try to find out. I was unable to do anything about my previously preferred "Account" (Windows Live Mail), as the screen froze on it, and I hade to uninstall.

       I'll see whether I can modify Folders in my Gmail.

    Thank you anyway,  but  it did not work for me either as I have windows 10. It does not have this manage feature.
