I welcome you again, dear readers of the site. As usual, I am with you, Dmitry Kostin, and we will continue to learn how to work on the Internet. Damn, yesterday I went to bed very late, so I woke up at about 11.30 somewhere. This is strange for me, since I usually sleep until 9 at the most on the weekends. Well, okay, but I got a good night's sleep. And as I promised in the last lesson, today we'll tackle another important element of email. Specifically, we will learn how to create a folder in mail ru mail.
Why should it be created at all? And in order not to store all letters in the inbox or in the archive. For a specific category, we can create our own folder, for example “2014”, “Work”, “Letters from Aliexpress”, etc. Call it whatever you want. But in addition, you can put a password on each such folder, which provides additional protection.
To Work with additional folders it becomes much more comfortable to work than without them. You don't have to go through all your mailboxes looking for necessary information. Well, I hope you understood what I meant, right? Well then, go to the created mailbox and let's go!
New folders
It’s very easy to create an additional folder in our almost mail. To do this, in the menu of our letters we need to select the “Customize folders” item. It's almost invisible, but you'll see it. I highlighted it in the picture just in case.
A folder settings menu will open. Here you will see everything that we have today (damn, after this phrase Klitschko immediately comes to mind with tomorrow). Well, you probably already understand what needs to be done next? Right! You need to click on the “+ Add folder” button.
Here a new window will open where you must choose a name for your new directory. Additionally, you must choose where this directory will be displayed. If you leave "On upper level", then the folder will be created in the general directory where “Inbox”, “Sent Items”, “Drafts”, etc. are located. I don't usually do that. I recommend creating new folders as subfolders of the main ones. Click on “Folder Position” and select “Inbox” from the drop-down menu. This way the directory will already be a child.
See other options. There is no need to put anything here yet. There is no need to deny access from email programs, but later I will talk about these programs and then we will consider this point. There is no point in making a folder an archive, since this folder will become an archive, and old folder with the archive it will become normal. IN general function useless, so don't install it. Well, let's talk about passwords a little lower. So just click "Add".
Well, when you have created everything, click on the “Letters” tab, which is located at the top to return to the main page of your mail.
Notice that our new folder is now under the Inbox. But if you click on it, it will be empty. Well, it's natural. How can it be filled? Well, let's fill it with something now. Log in to the “Inbox” and select a couple of letters, selecting them using checkboxes (squares to the left of the subject of the letter, in which, when clicked, checkboxes are placed). Now click on the “Move” button, which is located just above and select your new folder from the drop-down menu.
Now go to your brand new directory and you will see the very two letters that you sent there. Do you agree that it is much more convenient to work this way? Everything is in its place, and not in disorder and chaos.
Password protection
Now let's create another additional butt with you, but this time with a password so that intruders or your nosy relatives do not poke around.
We create a new folder in the same way as I described above, but now we check the “folder is password protected” checkbox. And look what happened. We automatically got a checkbox “not available for email programs”, and an additional form opened where we must come up with a password, Secret Question and enter your current email password. After all the fields are filled in, click “Add” as usual.
Now when you go out again home page mail, you will see a new folder, opposite which there is an open lock. This means that for now we can log in without a password.
Let's immediately upload a couple of letters there too. To do this, do the same as in the previous case (Move - your new folder), only now you need to select exactly the folder that we made with the password.
Let's go in and check it out. Everything is in place? Wonderful. Now click on “Exit” in the upper right corner, and then go back to your mailbox. 
As you can see, the open lock on the new catalog has been replaced with a closed one. This means that now you can’t easily view letters from there. Click on the password-protected directory and a form for entering your password will open. Enter it, click “Login” and you are back in your folder! Hooray! We succeeded! You are simply great. 
In general, in this way you can optimize the process of working with by email. But in general, I would recommend that you watch excellent video tutorials on working productively at the computer. In a simple and easy way they will tell you how to work very productively at the computer and optimize the entire work process. Just awesome. And special time is devoted specifically to working with email. See for yourself.
Well, this concludes our lesson. Thanks for reading my blog. If you don’t understand something, feel free to ask. And don’t forget to subscribe to my blog updates, then you won’t miss any important and key points when working with a computer. Well, we will see you in the next articles, where I will tell you a lot of interesting things. Good luck to everyone and bye bye!
Best regards, Dmitry Kostin

Read about how to sort letters in Yandex email
Method I: create new folders, then move the corresponding Mail ru letters into them
To create a new folder for Mail ru letters, click on the “Folders” link:
We get to the “List of Folders”, where we see the mailbox volume scale:
The figure 1 MB means that that much space is taken up by existing Mail.ru letters. Initially, the total size of the mailbox is 10,240 megabytes; when full, you can increase it by another 2 gigabytes.
Click on the “Create a new folder” button and in the window that appears, enter the name of the new Mail folder, for example, “ ”: 
The parent folder is the one in which the new folder will be located. If you select “No (folder at the top level)”, then the new folder will not be nested anywhere and will remain at the same level as the “Inbox”, “Spam”, “Sent Items” folders. I want to sort the Mail ru “Inbox” letters, so I select “Inbox” as the parent folder.
We entered the name of the new folder, we figured out the parent folder, so click on the “Create” button. As a result, we see a new folder “Computer Literacy”, nested in the “Inbox”:
Finally, click on “Inbox”. We find a letter to move to a new folder. We grab it with the left mouse button and, without releasing the left button, drag it to a new folder, after which we release the mouse button.
Thus, one letter was placed in the desired folder. You can also use the mouse to move other letters to the appropriate folders.
Method II: select the mail ru letter and place it in a new or existing folder
Select one or several mail ru letters at once by checking the box next to the letter:
Then click on the “Move” button:
In the drop-down menu, select the folder where we want to move this letter and click on it. The selected letter appears in the desired folder.
For a letter marked with a checkmark, you can immediately create a new folder. To do this, click on the “Move” button, in the window that appears, use the scroll bar to move down and click on “- new -”.
After this, create a new folder as described above in the first method.
As a result, a new folder will be created and the mail ru letter, marked with a checkmark, will be immediately moved to it.

More information about working with Mail.ru mail can be obtained by contacting. For example, help “Actions with folders” is located here: http://help.mail.ru/mail-help/mailbox/folders/action
In the previous article, I talked about how you can sort emails by folders (labels) in the GMail mail service. And in this article I will show you how to organize incoming letters into the required folders in Yandex mail, in which this process is even more intuitive than in Google.
Now I will not delve directly into the essence of this whole division of letters into folders, since I already wrote about this in more detail in a previous article (see the link above).
If in GMail mail folders are called correctly “shortcuts” and you won’t see the word “folder” there, then in Yandex it is the concept of “folder” that is used for letters.
Creating folders for sorting letters in Yandex
In Yandex, folders are created simply.
Left in personal account mail there are main folders, such as “Inbox”, “Sent Items”, “Deleted Items” and under them there is a “Create folder” link. Click on it:
In the window that opens, you need to indicate the name of the folder and such that you will later understand what kind of letters it contains :) It is clear that by naming the folder “123”, you are unlikely to understand what kind of letters are in it :))
Here you can select the “parent” folder, i.e. the one in which the created one will be placed this folder(subfolder).
For example, there is a folder called “Company A”, in which you will receive all letters from company “A”. And since letters can be from different people and for different purposes, you can create several more subfolders in that folder, for example, “From management”, “Reports”, if, of course, you need such detailed sorting.
To create such a subfolder, click “Attach to another folder” and select the desired parent folder.
All. You can click “Create folder” at the bottom and it will be created.
The principle of sorting letters into folders in Yandex
You can sort letters into created folders in Yandex in 2 ways:
Manually. That is, by choosing the right letter, move it to the desired folder;
Automatically. By creating special rules (conditions) for transferring certain letters to the required folders immediately when they arrive in the mail.
Manually moving emails to a folder
Manually transferring a letter or several to the desired folder is done like this...
Select one or more letters from the list that you want to move to another folder, click “To folder” and from the window that appears, select which folder they will be moved to.
Or you can open the letter itself and do the same. No difference.
Automatic placement of letters into the required folders
Automatic placement of letters can be configured directly when creating the folder itself.
To do this, in the folder creation window, click “Yandex.Mail can automatically move …”.
In the window that opens, conditions will be given (“Put in a folder if”), with which you can set up automatic forwarding of letters.
For example, you can fill in the address in the “From” condition or part of the address, and as a result, if when the letter arrives in the mail, the sender’s address matches what you specified in that condition, then it will work and the letter will be sent to this folder.
To make the condition more “narrow”, you can also specify a topic. As a result, two conditions will be checked at once: address and subject of the letter. And only if both of them correspond to what you specified, the letter will be sent to the desired folder.
Here, if necessary, you can proceed to setting up more complex and flexible conditions by clicking “I need more difficult conditions” .
In the window that opens, you can create more complex conditions and actions for incoming letters.
The principle is similar: you specify the condition itself and choose what to do with the letter if this condition is met.
You can also get to creating conditions and actions with letters through the “Mail Processing Rules” subsection of the general settings.
Action on folders (delete, rename, configure)
Created folders can be easily deleted and renamed. You just need to click on the folder in the list right click mouse and select the appropriate action from the pop-up window:
If you need to configure folders in more detail, click “Folder and Label Settings” in the same menu. This will take you to a separate window where you can change the arrangement of folders on top of each other, nest one folder in another, and create conditions for moving letters into them.
Conclusion
When letters are sorted into folders, it is easier to work with mail and, most importantly, more convenient, because everything is sorted into shelves. In Yandex, as you already understood, creating folders, managing them and sorting emails by them is very simple and intuitive. Therefore, I recommend that owners of Yandex mail take this into account if they are not already using it!
This section is intended for creating new folders in mail for distributing letters. Folders help you organize your mail by distributing letters by topic or other parameters. Folders also allow you to block access to certain emails by locking the folder with a password.
Go to settings - button in the upper right corner, next to the “Exit” button or click the “More” button and select “Settings”.
Select the “Folders” section either in the list on the left or on the right with an icon in the form of a yellow folder with a lock drawn on it.
The page contains a list of existing folders. At the top of the list is the “Add Folder” button; by clicking this button, you can accordingly create a new folder for letters. For example, let’s create a “Personal” folder and click “Add Folder”.
In the first field, write down the name of the new folder (any name is possible, but I’ll create “Personal”). In the second line we select the nesting level, that is, it’s like in operating system, either this folder will be visible and it will be equal to the others, or it will be located inside another folder. To make it more clear, I’ll create a folder nested in the existing “Inbox” folder. I open the “First level folder” field and select the “Inbox” folder.
Now select the folder availability. “Not available for email programs (POP3)” - this means that if you check this box, you will not be able to open this folder from email programs, such as Bat, Microsoft Outlook, and the like. In this case, letters from the folder can only be opened in Mail.
You can create a password if someone else has access to your mail. To create a password, check the “Folder is password protected” box.
Additional lines appear to be filled in - we enter the password for the folder twice (you can see how to create a password in the “registration in mail” section), after the password we enter a secret question, the question is not selected, but is invented independently. The following is the answer to this question. The answer and the question do not have to be logically interconnected, the main thing is that you can later remember this answer. The answer is intended for password recovery; I do not advise you to write just anything, as one day you will definitely forget your password.
In the bottom line, enter the password for the Mail mailbox, that is, for the mailbox in which you are currently located. If you don’t remember your password, go to the “password recovery” section. After filling in all the data, click the “Add” button.
Now a new folder called “Personal” has appeared in the list of folders. If you point at a new folder, two buttons appear on the right - settings, and - delete folder. In the folder settings, you can rename the folder, make it inaccessible to email programs, and close it with a password. In general, this is all that we specify when creating a new folder.
If you hover your mouse over the main folders that already existed when you entered, then two buttons also appear - “Clear” and - settings. You can only delete folders that you created yourself. When clearing a folder, all letters stored in this folder are deleted.
Now we go to the main menu to look at the result of our actions; to go, click “go to inbox” in the list on the left.
A new one has appeared among the folders - the one that was created. The Personal folder is located below the Inbox folder and can be hidden or shown using a triangle in the Inbox folder.
