Hi DAB1946,


Using the Mail app on your Mac, you can create a new mailbox. Follow the steps below to create new mailboxes and organize your messages.


1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, choose Mailbox > New Mailbox.
2. Click the Location pop-up menu, then choose where to create the mailbox.

* On My Mac: Mailboxes you create in On My Mac are local, meaning you can access them only on the Mac where you created them.

* An account: Mailboxes created on your email account’s Mail server can be accessed on any computer or device where you use the account.

If you choose an existing mailbox as the location, the new mailbox is created within the existing mailbox—like a subfolder.

3. Type a name for the mailbox, then click OK.

Take care.
