Work with folders

Your Microsoft Exchange mailbox contains folders with specific functions for handling your e-mail messages. These folders include Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Junk E-mail, Outbox, and Sent Items.

You can create additional folders to organize messages into different categories, such as "Urgent" or "Personal," or you can organize messages by a particular project. Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access allows you to delete folders and move and copy existing folders to suit your needs.

To display the contents of a folder, click the folder. All the items in that folder are listed in the main Outlook Web Access display area.

Tip  To view the contents of a higher-level folder, click Navigate Up One Folder on the main toolbar.

Default e-mail folders

Outlook Web Access provides the following default e-mail folders:

Deleted Items	Stores messages you delete. If you delete a message from this folder, it's permanently removed from your mailbox.
Drafts	Stores messages you save. You can save messages you want to finish composing or send at a later time.
Inbox	Stores newly received items. New, unopened items are displayed in boldface type. Once opened, the new items revert to normal type.
Junk E-mail	Stores newly received e-mail messages that have been identified as junk e-mail. Check this folder regularly to ensure that you do not miss messages that you want to receive.
Outbox	Stores outgoing messages and meeting requests until they're sent.
Sent Items	Stores a copy of each message or meeting request you send.

Personal folders

In addition to your default e-mail folders, Outlook Web Access provides access to the following Outlook folders for your personal use. You can view, modify, and create tasks; however, you can only view your Notes and Journal items.

Journal	Allows you to view your Outlook Journal items from a remote location.
Notes	Displays your Outlook notes.
Tasks	Displays your Outlook tasks.
