Creating mailboxes

As you use Eudora Light more, you will find that you want to create more Mailboxes to keep all messages relating to a specific subject or from a specific person in a mailbox of their own. For example, if a friend called Pete emails you regularly, you may wish to create a folder containing all of the messages from him, and call it Pete.

Select the Mailbox menu, then New.

A New Mailbox Dialogue box will appear, as here:

Type in a name for the mailbox, then click on OK. The mailbox should now appear in the list on the Mailbox menu. Mailboxes can be renamed or deleted by using the Window, Mailboxes option.

Refiling email

Once you have created new mailboxes, you will want to know how to re-file a message from one mailbox to another.

Select the message to be re-filed. Select the Transfer menu, then the mailbox to which the files should be transferred.

Note that blocks of messages can be selected for transfer by, clicking on the first in the block then, holding down the Shift key then clicking on the last in the block.

Messages that do not fall into convenient blocks can be selected for transfer as a group by, clicking on the first message then, holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the files to be transferred to the same mailbox one by one.
