How can I create a mail folder where my gmail folders are

Hi all, I have Mail with my Gmail account. My 'labels' have appeared as folders in my Mail. That's all great and I've learned how to use them effectively so that they all sync when going back to gmail.
However I cannot create a new 'folder/label' where all the others are. I can only create a new folder as a subfolder and then move it.
Is there a way to create another 'folder/label' where the existing ones are.
See this screenshot, so I'd like to create a folder where 'Adobe' and 'Airmiles' folders are and not as a sub folder of 'Adobe/Airmiles' or of [Google Mail].
Can I do that? I am able to create the folder as a sub folder and then drag and drop where I want it but ideally want to avoid this step.
Thanks in advance
Hayley

Not in Mail. If you referring to not having to use the menu, you can click the + sign at the bottom to create new mailboxes. But you still have to fill in the window with location and name. You can right click to create a new mailbox on an existing one, but not in the main account itself and you still have to fill in the info. It would create a sub folder.
You can also try it at the gmail website. There might be shortcuts there.

    How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

    You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
    All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
    The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder?

    How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

    Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

    How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    Hi there,
    You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
    If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

  • How can i create a new folder on my ipad

    i recently bought an ipad air, how can i create a folder on the desktop, also how can i read pdf and powerpoint materials on it?

    Folders: http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad997daa3f
    As for PDFs and Powerpooint presentations, there are a number of apps capable of reading them in the app store (and the mail app will generally open them when sent as attachments). Look into Adobe Reader, GoodReader, File Manager to name a few). Most cloud service apps such as Box and DropBox will also read these files.

  • I have an edit button in my e mail account but when I press it I don't get the ''get new mailbox' button. How can I create e mail folders? Thanks.

    I want to create e mail folders for my goole account. I go to the account and as suggested in the forum i tap on edit. Then instead of getting at the botton a button that says 'new mailbox' i get 2 boxes one red that says delete and one blue that says move. This is on an ipad 2. I have also an ipad 3 and there it does work. I have checked the settings in both ipads and they seem identical to me.
    How can I create the foldesr then on teh ipad 2?
    Thanks a lot!

    You need to be in the mailbox list for the account when you tap edit.
    Sounds like you might be trying to do it from insider you Inbox.

  • How can I create an App Folder?

    I see you can putt like 8 apps into one folder. I filled up on how can I create another one?
    Thanks.

    You can put 12 app in a folder. You can not put or create folders within folders. If you need another folder, just hold your finger on an app until it starts to jiggle, then drag in on top of another app you want in that folder. It will create a new folder with the two apps in it and give you the ability to name the folder.

  • How can I add a Mail folder with the "Inbox, Sent, and Trash" folders?  I have Windows 8.1

    After I installed the 7.0.6 update, my iPhone crashed & had to do a restart.  I saved my Contacts.  I've been syncing my iPhone to store data on my PC instead of iCloud.  I'm assuming all of my pictures etc. are in the iPod Photo Cache, which I cannot open since they are THMB files.  How can I view all of my "lost" data without having to pay for the "Converter" program, which according to many of the people in my boat, say doesn't work & is a rip off?  I'm also trying to put an "Archive" folder back in my Mail folder.  I've tried to follow instructions but my iPhone 7.1 does not have the same options.  All of this is so frustrating.....load an upgrade & screws a lot of stuff up.  Just like "Trust this computer?" on 7.0.6 update.  Anyway, I hope someone can help with these minor problems.
    Thank you.

  • How can I copy my mail folder from my macbook to sync it to my mac air?

    I have a Macbook (black) and a Macair (silver). I use the black one daily, but want to use the silver one when I travel (dead light, etc). I am struggling to figure out how to update the email folder from the black on to the silver. In the past I have used the 'migration' option, but I don't want to migrate everything...only the mail folder. I have spoken to Mac Support several times but their suggestions haven't worked. I do have a Time Capsule that both of them back up to, but as each computer can only see its own back up stuff (pretty technical, I know...sorry), I don't know how to capture the mail folder from the black one and paste it into the silver one. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Type "move itunes library from mac to pc" into the google search bar.

  • How can I create a new folder in iWork on iCloud?

    I learned how to drag and drop individual documents onto the Pages panel of iWork on iCloud.  However, I would like to be able to organize these documents in folders.  I tried dragging a folder onto the Pages panel, but I get an error message saying "Folder Name" can't be uploaded because its file format isn't supported, even though this folder contains only Pages documents.  Is there any way to create folders in order to organize your documents on iCloud?

    Tap and hold a file. When it starts to shake, drag it on top of another file. This will create your folder. By the way, you can't create any nested folders (folders inside of folders).

  • How can I create a new folder in de tool bar?

    I have several bookmarks of news papers and magazines located in the tool bar. Since they take space I need for other bookmarks, I need to place them in a folder which will also be located in the tool bar. How can do to achieve that?...I did it once but I forgot how I did it.

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
