This article discusses how to organize your email in Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, and 2010, as well as Outlook.com, by creating and using folders, subfolders, and categories.<\/p>\n

To create a new folder in Outlook, follow these steps:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. In Outlook Mail’s left navigation pane, select the Inbox folder.<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click and choose “New Folder” from the context menu.<\/li>\n
  3. In the box that appears, type a name for the folder.<\/li>\n
  4. Enter.<\/li>\n
  5. To create a subfolder, navigate to the folder in which you wish to create it and follow the instructions above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Color-Code Messages Using Categories<\/h4>\n

    To customize your Outlook category preferences, navigate to Home > Categorize > All Categories. You’ll be able to create, delete, and rename categories, as well as assign each category a shortcut key. Select a message in Outlook.com and then Categorize > Manage categories. The Categories dialog box allows you to create or delete categories and specify whether they should appear in the Favorites list.<\/p>\n

    To add a category color to an email, follow these steps:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. From the message list, open an email.<\/li>\n
    2. In the Home tab’s Tags group, click Categorize.<\/li>\n
    3. Select the category for the email. In the message list and the header of the opened email, a color indicator appears next to the email.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Alternatively:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Right-click the email you wish to categorize in the message list.<\/li>\n
      2. In the resulting menu, click Categorize.<\/li>\n
      3. Select the category for the email. In the message list and the header of the opened email, a color indicator appears next to the message.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Is it possible for an email message to fall into more than one category? Multiple color codes can be applied to an email message.<\/p>\n

        Create a New Folder in Outlook.com<\/h4>\n

        To create a new folder, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Click on New folder. At the bottom of your folder list, you’ll find the New folder link. At the end of the folders list, a blank text box appears.<\/li>\n
        2. Give the folder a name.<\/li>\n
        3. Hit Enter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In Outlook.com, create a subfolder.<\/p>\n

          To add a new folder as a subfolder to an existing Outlook.com folder, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Right-click the folder beneath which the new subfolder is to be created. Bear in mind that you should select items from the Folders list, not the Favorites list.<\/li>\n
          2. From the context menu that appears, select Create new subfolder. Below the folder on which you right-clicked, a text box appears.<\/li>\n
          3. Give the new folder a name.<\/li>\n
          4. Enter the subfolder’s name to save it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The same procedure applies for creating deeper subfolders beneath any newly created subfolders. Simply repeat these four steps for each new subfolder. Additionally, you can drag a folder from the list and drop it on top of another folder to create a subfolder.<\/p>\n

            Utilization of Folders and Categories<\/h4>\n

            Individual messages from your Inbox or any other folder can be dragged and dropped into the new folders you create to organize your email. You can right-click a message, select Move, and then select a folder to which you want to move the email.<\/p>\n

            Also, you can create rules in Outlook to automatically route emails from specific senders to a folder or apply a category, eliminating the need to do so manually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
