The folder list organizes your email, calendars, address books, task lists and memo lists in a tree, similar to a file tree. Most
people find one to four folders at the base of the tree, depending on the tool and their system configuration. Each Evolution tool
has at least one folder, called On This Computer, for local information. For example, the folder list for the email tool shows any
remote email storage you have set up, plus local folders and search folders, which are discussed in Using Search Folders.
If you get large amounts of email, you might want more folders than just your Inbox. You can also create multiple calendar, task,
or contacts folders.
To create a new folder:
1. Click Folder > New.
2. Type the name of the folder in the Folder Name field.
3. Select the location of the new folder.
4. Click OK.
