There should be a 'location' dropdown in the New Mailbox dialog. I'm using Mail 
4, it's been a lng time since I used an earlier version of Mail.

Possibly you have to select the mailbox you wish to subfolder and then select 
new Mailbox from the menu.

All else fails create the new mailbox then drag it into the folder you want.

Hi Jeff,

There is a possibility to color mail. I took a quick look in the Help  
file. Go to Mail -> Preferences -> Rules and insert a new rule to  
change the background color of the message or a color tag. You don't  
need any add-ons I guess. Everything you need is already there.

You can set a rule in the Mail "Preferences" to set a color for mail arriving 
from a specific address.

Make the new mailbox then drag it into the mailbox you want it to be in.

You can also do it by Control-Clicking on the parent mailbox and select "New 
Mailbox...".

good question, you can't make folders like you can in t-bird




What? Of course you can make folders in Mail. You can also set rules to move 
mail into folders based on a lot of different criterion.



All I can find is new mailboxes (mail 3.6) and I can't make sub boxes.

What? Of course you can make folders in Mail. You can also set rules to move 
mail into folders based on a lot of different criterion.

You can also use rules to set colors either for the text or for the background. 
(both refer only to the text or background of the header line, not the email 
itself.

See:



One rule sets the background of any message from Dr. Murphy to green.
Another sets the text of any message sent to 'Appointed' to red.

You can perform multiple actions, and have multiple criteria. Mail's rules are 
quite powerful.

Greetings ( + )!( + )

That's an easy question to answer.
Select, highlight the eMail that you want to color then select from
the menu bar "Format" and from the drop-down select "Show Colors" and
when the Color Platen opens select the color that you would like for
that message.
