Saving messages

If you want to keep mail messages, you can save them in files or in mailfolders (special files that contain mail messages). To keep your mailbox tidy, you should remove messages regularly from your personal mailbox.

1. Click on the first message in the top half of the Mailbox window. The selected message is highlighted.

2. Select Save To Folder from the Mailbox window Message menu.

   This opens the Mail window containing a list of mailfolders. (When you first start working with Mail, your mailfolders directory might only contain the Outgoing mailfolder.)

3. Click on the blank area in the ``Selection'' field, type ReminderMail, and press <Enter>. This specifies ReminderMail as the mailfolder where you want to save the message.

   You are prompted to create the folder.

4. Click on Yes. The message is saved to a mailfolder called ReminderMail in the mailfolders subdirectory of your home directory and you return to the Message window.
