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.

    So does this mean I am stuck with the folders I have. Would it not be better to go back to Windows8

    Thank you.  I might eventually manage them, but I've given up MAIL, and taken to Mozilla Thunderbird instead, and find it very much more user-friendly.  I shall try to unsubscribe to this thread.
