One of the main functions of the I-Mail Interface is Web Access to user Folders. You can display the list of Folders in your account, create new Folders, rename and remove Folders, open and view Folder, search Folders for certain data, etc.
Access to Folders
The Folders page displays your Folders. It allows the user to open the listed Folders and to create a new Folder:
The Folder names are links to the I-Mail pages displaying the Folder contents.
You can open the Settings page and specify which Folders should be displayed in the Folders page:
Display All Account Folders:
Display Subscribed Folders:
Display All Account Folders
If this option is selected, all Folders created in your account are listed.
Display Subscribed Folders
If this option is selected, the Folders page lists all Folders your account is subscribed to (including foreign Folders). If this option is selected, the newly created Folders are automatically added to the subscription list.
Folder Browsing
You can browse a Folder by clicking its name (link) on the Folders page. A Folder page displays the messages stored in the Folder, it provides checkboxes to select messages, and the controls for performing operations on the selected messages:
For each message in the Folder, several message header fields are displayed. The messages are sorted by the highlighted field. The field name (link) can be used to highlight a different field and to change the sorting order.
A message can be opened using a link in the first and/or highlighted columns.
Display
This button tells the I-Mail module to display not more than the specified number of the Folder messages. If the Filter field is not empty, only the messages with the highlighted field containing the filter string are displayed. If the Search field is not empty, only the messages containing the search string are displayed. Please Note: Filters are CASE-SENSITIVE!
Mark Read/Unread
The Mark Read button can be used to mark the selected messages as "read", the Mark Unread button can be used to mark the selected messages as "unread".
Flag/Unflag
The Flag button can be used to mark the selected messages with a flag, the Unflag button can be used to remove the flag marker from the selected messages.
Copy To
This button can be used to copy the selected messages into the specified Folder.
Move To
This button can be used to copy the selected messages into the specified Folder; the original message is deleted or it is marked as deleted (if the I-Mail Interface Delete Mode is set to Marked).
Forward To
This button can be used to forward the selected messages to the specified addresses. The address field to the side of the buttons should contain one or several addresses separated with the comma signs.
The following buttons appear if the I-Mail Interface Delete Mode is set to Mark
Delete/Undelete
The Delete button is used to mark the selected messages as "deleted", the Undelete button can be used to clear the "deleted" markers.
Purge Deleted
This button is used to remove the messages marked as "deleted" from the Folder.
If the the I-Mail Interface Delete Mode is set to Trash or Immediately, the following button appears:
Delete
Click this button to move the selected message(s) to the Trash Folder (the Via Trash Delete Mode) or to mark all selected messages as "deleted" and remove all marked messages immediately (the Immediately Delete Mode).
You can open the Settings page and specify how Folders should be displayed:

The I-Mail Interface Settings page also allows you to specify the Delete Mode:
Trash Management
Message Delete Method:
Move To Trash
The delete operation moves the selected message(s) to the Trash Folder. This option available for multi-Folder accounts only. If the Trash Folder does not exist, the first delete operation creates it.
Mark
The delete operation marks the selected message(s) as "deleted". The marked messages can be removed using the Purge Deleted operation.
Immediately
The delete operation marks the selected message(s) as "deleted" and then immediately deletes all marked messages from the Folder.
Folder Management
The Folder Management page allows you to set the ACL (Access Control List) settings for the selected Folder, to rename, and to remove the Folder.
To rename a Folder, type the new Folder name into the New Folder Name field and click the Rename Folder button. If the Rename SubFolders option is selected, all subFolders of this Folder will be renamed, too. If you are renaming the Folder Sent into Sent in 2000, and you also have the Sent/customers submailbox, that submailbox is renamed into Sent in 2000/customers if the Rename SubFolders option is selected.
Note: If you rename your INBOX, the new empty INBOX is automatically created. You cannot rename your I-Mail Address Book folder.
To remove a Folder, click the Remove Folder button. If the Remove SubFolders option is selected, all subFolders of this Folder will be removed, too. If you are removing the Folder Sent, and you also have the Sent/customers subfolders, that subfolder is removed, too - if the Remove SubFolders option is selected.
Note: You cannot remove your INBOX or I-Mail Address Book folder.
To grant Folder access rights to a user, enter the user name into the Identifier field, select the desired access rights, and click the Update button. To grant an access right to everybody, use the word anyone. To remove certain rights from a particular user, "grant" those rights to the identifier -username.

Folder Subscription Management
The Subscription Management page allows you to set the Folder Subscription - the list of your own and foreign Folders you want to use.
You can open the Subscription page using the link on the Settings page:
Folder Subscription
Type a Folder name into an empty field and click the Update button to add a Folder to the subscription list.
To specify a foreign Folder, type the tilda sign (~), the user name, the slash sign (/) and then the Folder name. Make sure that user has already granted you the Select access right for that Folder.
Folder Aliases Management
The Subscription Management page allows you to set the Folder Aliases - the list of simple names for foreign Folders. You should use Folder aliases if you want to access foreign Folders via IMAP clients that do not support the foreign Folders concept. It is not recommended to use Folder aliases with more advanced IMAP clients or with the I-Mail Interface itself, since they add unnecessary compexity to Folder management.
Folder Aliases
Alias Name
Foreign Folder Name
Type a simple Folder name into an empty field in the left column, type the name of a foreign Folder into the right column field, and click the Update button to create a Folder alias.
Your mail client software will list the created Folder aliases as well as the real Folders created in your account. You can open a Folder alias as you open a real Folder, and the specified foreign Folder will be opened.
Change the Folder alias name to an empty string and click the Update button to remove the Folder alias.
Access to Folders by Name
You may want to access some Folder without including it into your subscription list.
Open the Subscription page and type the Folder name in the Open Folder panel and click the Go button:
