If you access your email accounts through webmail, you can create directories to organize your emails according to your own criteria.
In the following guide, we will show you how to do it:
In the cPanel control panel, navigate to Email Accounts under the Email section.
On the new screen, you will see the area where email accounts are created and reviewed. Click on the Check Email button to access your email account in Webmail.
You will arrive at the screen where you should choose roundcube to access your email account.
Within Webmail, click on Settings.
Then, select Folders.
At the top right, you will see the Create button to create a new directory or folder. You will also see a button to delete the folder when you no longer need it.
Choose a name for the new directory or folder and press the Save button. If you want your new directory to be inside an existing folder, select that folder under Root Folder.
In the center, you will see all the directories or folders created. Each one functions as a mailbox for emails. To the right of each folder, there is a switch that allows you to sync the folder with external email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.
When you create your new folder, you will see it as an additional mailbox in your email account.
It is not recommended to keep too many emails in the inbox of an email account, whether accessed via Webmail or external email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.
Now, we will show you how to archive emails quickly and easily:
Select the email you want to archive.
If you hold down the SHIFT button, you can select multiple emails to take action on all of them at once.
At the top right, you will find the Archive option.
Any email you archive will be moved to the Archive mailbox. This mailbox is not continuously synced like the inbox, making it useful for moving infrequently accessed emails to this mailbox.
At the beginning of this guide, we showed you how to create folders to save emails according to your own criteria. This is very similar to archiving emails. Now, we will show you how to move emails to a specific mailbox.
Select the email you want to move to another mailbox.
If you hold down the SHIFT button, you can select multiple emails to take action on all of them at once.
Open the three-dot menu located at the top right.
Select the Move to... option from the menu.
Choose the mailbox or folder where you want to move the email.
With these three methods, you can efficiently manage the emails in your accounts, organizing them to your liking and improving performance by reducing the email load in each mailbox. Next, we provide a final guide that may be very useful for further managing your email accounts:
