My e-mail account was with Hotmail, then a year or so back everything changed to Outlook, my e-mail address stayed the same but the e-mail pages are all headed Outlook, it's a shit system, don't know why they changed it...

It don't matter if I'm on the computer or iPad, it's the same crappy page, Annie's changed to the new style page as well...

Minty, open your outlook then click on "File". When that opens, click on "Help". It should then open a screen which lets you know your version. Find out what it is and I'll see if I can find out how to make a new folder.

I had to download a new mail program ( Mailbird ) in order to create new folders, but that was in "Mail" on Windows 10. I remember something from when I was trying to figure out how to add new folders in "Mail" ( you can't cos it's shit) that Microsoft no longer support POP3 mail systems ( I.e. Outlook).

Try tapping and holding on your name above the "Inbox" folder. That should allow you to create a new folder...

None of them options apply to the screen I see, have tried to upload a picture of what I get but can't do it, that facility went tits up the sane time as I got the logging out problem...
What prompted my original post was my inbox is just full of stuff I would normally have filed, I still have the files I had when the change took plac, bunt can't create new ones...

Does that mean you have to change your e-mail address...

no, I kept my addresses. Had a hell of a job remembering the passwords for the accounts though.

it will also transfer your old emails over. I think you might have to adjust the settings but its easy
