If you’re new to Gmail, it might not be immediately obvious to you how to create a new folder. But once you figure it out, it’s a simple process. First, find an email you’d want to keep in that folder. Open the message and then look up at the top for the folder icon. Click the little arrow next to the folder and you’ll get the list of available folders. Choose Create new.

Then name the new file.

It will now appear among your options when you click the file icon.

THAT IS A GOOD TIP BUT-BUT-BUT!!!!!! WHEN I CLEAN MY FILES (LIKE WITH CCLEANER, WEBROOT,ETC) THE MESSAGES ALL DELETE….HOW DO I FIX THIS…I KEEP ALL OF MY BILLS RECEIPTS … AND WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE IMPORTANT COMMUNICATIONS THERE…IT IS A GREAT TOOL TO USE…I ARCHIVE THEM BUT THAT TAKES AWAY THE FOLDERS AND HANDY ACCESS….IS THERE A SOLUTION?? THANK YOU…..
They delete from your Gmail interface online? When you go to http://www.gmail.com, your messages are gone?
NEW SUBJECT: Cynthia, I found this tip interesting but will never use it. I’m a pretty satisfied user of the client, Windows Live Mail. One area that frustrates me is some tools turn off on SOME replies of forwards. I’m speaking of those in the “FONT” area. Many times I want to add the emphasis of an underline, bold, italic… and its not available.
