How do I create Folders in Mail?

I recently migrated from Eudora to Mail. In the process I brought some Folders in which I filed mailboxes, in some cases there were folders in folders. All are there well and clear.
How do I create a Folder into whch I can put more sub folders or mailboxes? I cannot find anything other than a Smart Mailbox Folder menu item and there is nothing in the Mail help Viewer
Tks

At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Mailbox and select New Mailbox.
The following was copied from Mail Help under Creating Mailboxes.
You can create as many mailboxes as you like to file or organize messages you want to keep.
You can create a mailbox that's stored on your computer, one that's stored within a specific account, or a mailbox in an existing mailbox. A mailbox inside another mailbox is called a "subfolder."
If you have an IMAP account, you can store received mail on your computer or on your mail server.
Choose Mailbox > New Mailbox.
To create a mailbox within an existing mailbox, select the existing mailbox before you choose Mailbox > New Mailbox.
Use the Location pop-up menu to choose the location for the mailbox on your computer or an IMAP account (to store the mailbox on an IMAP server).
Type a name for the mailbox.
Click OK.
To create a mailbox that contains another mailbox (or subfolder), type the name for the mailbox and the subfolder separated by a forward slash ("/"). For example, if you type "Apple Mail/Apple Newsletters," a mailbox named Apple Mail will be created, with a mailbox named Apple Newsletters inside it. (Note that if you create a mailbox this way, the enclosing mailbox can only contain other mailboxes, not messages. Such mailboxes appear white in the mailboxes list, instead of blue.)

This is very disappointing, and i find it hard to believe that Apple would do this intentionally. It worked on previous versions of email application. Apple please don't dishonor the image of Steve Jobs this way. Fix this right away. I can't think of anything more basic than being able to organize the email that you download into folders. This absolutely ***** ... What a stinker.....
I can't think of anything more idiotic than invoking the memory of Jobs here. Are you truly unaware that the iPad and iOS is pretty much exactly the way he wanted it to be, just like about everything else Apple?
As to your claim of "previous email applications", certainly none in iOS ever did that, and the only folders you can create and manipulate in POP accounts are those local to only that single machine or platform, not particularly helpful or desirable in today's environments.

How do you create folders in mail in iOS eight?

Can anyone tell me if there a way to create new folders in the mail in IOS 8? I'm not talking about POP or IMAP-I don't know what these are and I don't care. In the previous iOS versions, I have always been able to simply create a new folder. Once again, please don't explain about pop and IMAP. I couldn't care less about these things that I have always gotten by fine without. I just want to create a new folder in my stupid email like I have been doing for the last 15 years.
A simple how to (__>___>__>) would be very highly appreciated. No offense to anyone but I'm really not looking for a long saga or your life story. If you don't know the answer please don't offer me a bunch of suggestions. Thanks a lot.

If the account allows the creation of folders (if it's set up as a POP account on your iPad then you won't be able to create new folders) then go to the screen with the list of folders that you currently have on the account, tap the Edit button at the top right of that list, and you should then get a 'New Mailbox' button at the bottom right of that list - tap that, type in the folder's name, and select where you want it to go.

Can I create folders in mail? How?

I'm new to the IPhone community, and need a little help. I have a Mac desktop, so I am familiar with Mac.
For some reason, I can't figure out how to create folders in Mail, on my Iphone4. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

You create folders on your mail server, then sync them to your phone. Folders cannot be created directly on the phone itself. This requires an exchange or IMAP account, as such is not possible with a POP account. Folders created in the Mail App on your computer will not sync to your phone.

How do I create folders on my email account?

When I open my email account on the Internet it shows all my emails in their respected folders that I created and organized. Unfortunately, when I try to open my account on the desktop email app they provide for us (the postage stamp with the bird) it does not show any of my folders and just has all my emails under ?not junk" and "junk"..... HOW CAN I CREATE FOLDERS (or organize my emails)?!

Hi tigergirlie,
First off, how is your email configured in Mail? It sounds like POP (if you just have one folder) versus IMAP. Is that correct? Are you familiar with how to determine that information? Secondly, who is your email provider? Do you know if they offer IMAP access?
POP will download only the content of your Inbox to your Mail application, you'd then be required to create local folders and manage your email (organize it). IMAP, if you like to work with folders would be the preferred solution here. This way the folders that you see on the web will "sync" with the folders in your Mail application.
Not all free email providers offer IMAP, GMail is the only one to my knowledge, at least of the popular ones. Most ISP emails or work/corporate email providers offer IMAP but you'd need to get the appropriate server settings.

How do you create folders in photo's

In an IPOD4 (or IPhone for that matter) how do you create folders within Photo's to segregate your pictures in to meanigfull collections, rather than just random bunches.
Thanks

Bummer - seems like wasted effort - to move all the photo's to a computer, delete then from the IPOD/IPHONE, organize them, and then move back to IPOD/IPHONE. Oh well, is what it is.
Thanks

HT4847 how do i create folders for iWork documents?

How do I create folders to organize iWork documents?

If you want to create folders in iCloud to organize your documents, it's much easier if you are using OS X Mountain Lion and iWork '09. Just open Pages and you will see the iCloud window. Drag one file to another one to create a folder in iCloud.
If you aren't using OS X Mountain Lion, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and choose iWork. Then, if your documents aren't in iCloud, drag them to your Internet browser. If they are there, just drag one file to another one to create a folder in iCloud
