How do I set up additional folders in Mail to enable me to move read e-mails yet still retain them

How do I set up additional folders in Mail (in the left hand panel under inbox/trash/drafts etc ) to enable me to move messages
that I have read. I do not wish to leave them clogging up the page but like to have folders for Apple/Amazon etc.
Any advice wouldbe gratefully received.
I can find the symbol to move the message but cannot figure out how to make the new folder
thanks

You can't create mail folders on the iPad. If you are using an IMAP/Exchange account you can set up folder on another device and they will be reflected on the iPad. If you have an POP3 account there is no way.

How do I set up folders in mail to store my emails?

You can't set up extra folders on the iPad Mail App. As Barry stated, you have to set up the folders on your computer in your web mail. Then you sync your email account to the iPad via iTunes in order to get the folders on the iPad.

I do not use hotmail so I'm not familiar with it. I can tell you that if there is no "New Mailbox" button that pops up at the bottom of the screen when you tap the "Edit" button at the top of the screen - when you are in that email account - my guess is that it is a POP email account and that's why you need one of these Exchange account workarounds.

How do I set up additional mail storage folders?

I have installed the cloud and my mail storage folders did not import into the IPAD. How do I set up additional mail storage folders?

did not have a mobile me account.
Copied from your previous post.
Waited for the ICloud to come out installed on both the MAC and the IPad. Started an .me account.
Did you have a MobileMe email account first or not?
And regarding your Mail storage folders that you want available on the iPad, mail storage folders from which email account? Since you just created an iCloud email account, any locally stored mailboxes created for another email account must be transferred to the server for your iCloud account for the mailboxes to be available with the account with the Mail app on your iPad. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app, but you must place any locally stored mailboxes on the server first. If you use the Mail.app on your Mac, select an drag a locally stored mailbox under the iCloud desgination in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer to copy the mailbox to the server with your iCloud account.

How do I set up mailbox folders within the IPad mail system (similar to the mailbox folders that I have in Microsoft Outlook)

In Microsofr Outlook, my email is sorted into folders; how do I set up similar folders in tha mail application of my IPad??

You can't do it at the moment in the Mail app itself. If you email account is an IMAP one then you can create extra folders by logging into your account on a browser and creating them there - they should then appear in the Mail app on the iPad. If it's a POP type email account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.

How can I set up various mailboxes in Mail on my iPad.

How can I set up various mailboxes in Mail on my iPad.
I am using a Pop account and don't want to change this setup.
I use two devices to access the same email account but I am not experiencing any lockout issues.
Mail is simply not giving me any options to create mailboxes and there must be a way of doing this. If I can do it in my iMac, surely I can do the same thing on my iPad.

-Tap "Settings" app,
-Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option on the left hand side,
-On the right, under "Accounts" on top, tap "Add Account...",
-Select one of the email service providers or "Other",
-Under "Mail", tap "Add Mail Account",
-A window pops up and enter your new email account details.
-Repeat for new email accounts.

How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

Microsoft just changed this POP mail item this month - they now allow this with a HOTMAIL PLUS account -
I was finally able to set up my iphone to support my Hotmail Plus email account. I did make a mistake initially which caused it to fail at first so I delete the new account and tried again - here are my steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Mail
3. Go to Add a new Account
4. Click Other
5. Click the POP button - do not leave it on the default IMAP button (this is where I mady my mistake.
Then fill in these values as the prior poster noted:
NAME: Enter your name here, or some other value.
ADDRESS: Enter your full hotmail email address
DESCRIPTION: Create a description such as "hotmail account"
INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Host name: pop3.live.com
User name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
Password: (enter your password for this account)
OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
Password: (enter the password for this account)
Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS
Make sure incoming and outgoing SSL is 'ON' - Authentication is set to Password
Pleaes note also that my hotmail account has a couple thousand emails in it going back several years so my iphone started inporting the first 200 - then it stopped, so I had to delete many of them, check for mail again and it imported some more, then I deleted more, imported more, and on and on - and it seems to do it by date, so the oldest messages come in first - justs something to keep in mind.
If you don't have a hotmail plus account - it might be worth the $20 a year to get this access if you use your hotmail alot. It beats forwarding messasges to another email to come into your phone or useing some third party like izy that than has your password info.
