Here's another one we've had tons of questions about lately!

I know lots of you keep all your important e-mail in your in-boxes. Which, after a year or two, becomes an unorganized mess. Well, there's a better way (you knew there had to be).

I get around 400 e-mails each and every day. Some I keep, some I delete. If I kept all my keepers in my inbox, I would literally have thousands of e-mail messages floating around in there. So what do I do? Create folders!

We'll use an example that creates a new folder for you to keep all these computer tips newsletters I send out.

Here's how for Outlook Express (other e-mail clients work in a similar manner):

First, you have to have your "view" set properly. Here's how to do that:

1. Click the View menu, Layout...

2. Make sure the "Folder List" checkbox is checked.

OK, Now here's how to create more folders:

1. Right-Click the "Local Folders" folder (it's at the top of the "folders" window). Select New Folder.

2. You'll be presented with a screen where you can name your folder. Type in "Computer Tips" (or whatever you would like to call your new folder) and click OK.

That's it! You have a new folder where you can keep all these little nuggets of computer knowledge I send along to you. After you're done reading an issue that you would like to hang on to, just drag it to that folder. To view the messages in a folder, just click the folder. You can have as many of these little folders as your heart desires. I personally have around 25!
