Email folders on Ipad

I can not figure out how to set up sub folders on my email on myipad. Is it possible? I have it synched to my Comcast/Windows Live Email on my home computer and it doesn't pick up my sub folders from that inbox either. Any thoughts

You can only create additional mailboxes if your email account is an IMAP account. You tell this by tapping on your account in the mailboxes window - and in the window that shows your inbox, sent folder, trash folder, etc - there will be an Edit button at the top of that window. If there is no edit button - you do not have an IMAP account and you can't create new mailboxes. If the Edit button is there - tap on it and the tap New Mailbox at the bottom of the window.


I assume that those folders in your email client are local folders that reside on your computer and on the computer only - and will not sync to the iPad. I have Comcast email and none of the folders that I set up on the server sync either because it is a POP email account.
