About Mail Folders

There are four default folders for each user:

  • Inbox: contains all received messages
  • Outbox: contains all sent messages
  • Draft: contains messages that you have composed but not sent
  • All: contains all messages

These folders cannot be renamed or deleted. However, you can add new folders to Mail that can be renamed or deleted.
