# Working with Mail Folders

Your Mailbox contains folders with specific functions for handling your mail messages: Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox, and Sent Items.

You can also create additional folders to organize messages into different categories, like "Urgent" or "Personal," or with the name of a particular project. Outlook Web Access allows you to delete folders as well, and to move and copy existing folders to suit your needs. See Creating and Deleting Folders and Move/Copy Folders for more information.

To display the contents of a folder, click it. All the items in that folder will be listed in the main Outlook Web Access display area.

| Tip To view the contents of a higher-level folder, click Up one folder.

### Outlook Web Access provides the following default folders:

Deleted Items | Stores messages that you delete. You can view or permanently delete messages in the Deleted Items folder.
Drafts | If you decide to save a message to finish or send at a later time, it is stored in the Drafts folder.
Inbox | Stores new mail. To view the contents of the Inbox folder, click Inbox in the Mailbox folder list, or click on the icon in the Outlook Bar. New mail messages are displayed in bold type.
Outbox | Holds mail until it is sent. To view the items in your Outbox, click Outbox in the Mailbox folder list.
Sent Items | Stores a copy of each message that you send.
