How do I create a new mailbox? (Not account)

I can't figure out how to create a new mailbox or folder. (It even shows them in the manual) I know to tap the folder icon on bottom. It takes the email you want to file back to the INBOX, TRASH page. Now what how do you create a folder? Thanks.

If you are accessing an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, or via webmail access for the account using a browser, and the server stored mailboxes created will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone.
If a POP account, this is not possible by any means.

A new mailbox/folder - you can't, not yet. If you're using an IMAP mail account, you can create a mailbox on the server (either through webmail or desktop mail) and it'll appear on the iPad.
We've been told the upcoming iOS5 will allow you to do so (I assume, provided you have IMAP).

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1.
I also have Verizon webmail which I access via the iPhone's Mail app.
I am trying to create a new mailbox in order to store certain emails on my iPhone somewhere besides the Inbox.
In the Mail app and at Mailboxes, I do: Edit->New Mailbox   and then enter a name for the new mailbox.

The mailbox couldn't be created on the server

Any help is appreciated.
TIA,

An IMAP configuration will NOT allow one to create mailboxes on one's iPad - from personal experience - one requires a POP account. Briefly, the Apple Mail app for iOS 6 (iPad, iPhone) has no capability to add mailboxes to the original ones that are included as part of the app - if (and only if) the email account is configured as IMAP. So... Keniff is correct: One must go to one's laptop/desktop, open a browser, and add the mailboxes desired for your IMAP account. Unfortunately, one seems to have little choice for the account configuration. Apple's iOS does the configuration quite automatically with one's account provider. For example, my Charter mail is IMAP while my Gmail account is POP. The latter allows edit/add for new or existing mailboxes on my iPad 2.

How do I create a new mailbox file, not folder. My primary mailbox file is getting too large and I want to split it into multiple physical files.

I have done this multiple times in the past (I have several files - not folders - that contain mail). However due to the fact that II was somewhat brain damaged several years ago I can no longer remember (or figure out) how to do it. For instance, I have a "MoreJunque" mailbox file that is (from the "Properties" dialog) at mailbox:///C:/Users/Daniel Mathews/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/bxk6ngnt.default/Mail/pop.att.yahoo.com/MoreJunque. However, my inbox is in mailbox:///C:/Users/Daniel Mathews/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/bxk6ngnt.default/Mail/pop.att.yahoo.com/Inbox. These are unique files that contain folders.

right click on your account on the left and select new folder.

How can I create a new outlook express account on mac

Hello,
I am trying to find the eqivilent of account settings on my mac book air to create and retreive an outlook express account.
Does anyone know what to do please?

Accounts are normally not email software dependent unless configured to save locally on your computer. If you have a pst file on your PC that is large, you will need to import that. POP accounts are usually locally stored. Otherwise, many server accounts are typically IMAP, or Exchange. So go back to your PCs email software and determine what it is. If it is Outlook for Mac which is the only Outlook you have be clear how it is setup.

My mailboxes have disappeared when I installed Yosemite, but if I try to create a new mailbox by that name, it says I can not because the mailbox already exists How do I get them to show up?

I upgraded mu iMac to Yosemite now my mailboxes don't show up in my mail. If I try to create a new mailbox with the same name, it tells me that that mailbox already exists. How do I get my mailboxes to appear?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

How do I create a new folder on my iPad & iPhone email mailboxes, using RCN as my Internet provider?

Actually, you can create additional mailboxes directly on the iPad. I have done it in 3 differemt IMAP accounts. But you do have to have IMAP email. However as stated above, this is not a function of the mail app.
If you had an IMAP email account, any additional mailboxes that you already had set up would have synced to the iPad and you would see them in your email account in the Mail app.
if you want to see for yourself..... If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP.
