Ah! Thanks for the clarification on the format.

I right click on a message and click on move and have the choices of
moving the message to the Trash or to a folder. The list of folders
includes:

	Inbox
	Sentbox
	Draftbox
	Outbox
	Trash

but there is no capacity to make a new "folder" or a directory into
which I would put a folder. How do I do that?

Thanks,

Craig
