Personal folders can be created to help organize messages. Personal folders are only for storing messages, messages received always appear in the Inbox folder first and messages sent always appear in the Sent folder first. Once a message appears, it can be moved into a personal folder.

Follow these steps to open the Add Folder page.
Step 1 Click Communication from the Course Menu.
Step 2 Click Messages.
Step 3 Click Add Folder from the Action Bar.
The Add Folder page only includes one field, Name. Enter the name of the new personal folder in this field and click Submit to create the folder.
