There are a variety of options for organizing emails in Live.com. Last week I posted about using categories to organize your email. This week we will be looking at how to create folders and add emails to the folders in Live Mail.

1. Log into live.com
2. Right-click on your name from the left-pane
3. Select Create New Folder
4. Type in the name of your folder and press Enter
5. From this point it's easy to move emails into folders
1. Select one or multiple emails and either drag and drop them into the desired folder, OR 
2. Once emails are selected, click Move and choose Move to Folder, then select the folder you would like to move emails to.

Changing Your Views in Live!

Have you been trying to view your email the same way you did in Groupwise? You can do this by changing your view options.

Changing Views in Live!
With all the changes occurring in email, you can have some familiarity with setting up your email View options or change to the Windows Live way. You can view your email the traditional “Groupwise” way or by Conversation.
To change your view to a traditional view, click the small arrow next to Conversations by Date. Then uncheck the conversation choice. This will list your email by date just as Groupwise did.

However, you may enjoy the new format of having conversations grouped together. You can leave this option as it is and view the emails that are related to each other by subject.

Another option under the View tab is to view the email in the window. You can choose to view the Reading Pane to the right or below.
