Organizing messages with folders

You can organize your email messages into different folders by topic, correspondent, date, or any other category that is meaningful to you. You can create your own folders in addition to the following that are created automatically by Pine:

• The INBOX folder. Messages sent to you are listed in this folder. When you first start Pine and go to the Folder Index screen, you are looking at the list of messages in your INBOX folder. Every incoming message remains in your INBOX until you delete it or save it in another folder.

• The saved-messages folder. Copies of messages you save are stored in this folder unless you save them to other folders you create yourself. See ``Saving a message''.

• The sent-mail folder. Copies of messages you send are stored in this folder. This is convenient if you cannot remember whether you actually sent a message and want to check, or if you want to send a message again.
