Post by wwe »

I haven't done this in awhile so can anyone tell me how to rename folders that are in my IN BOX?

Thanks.

How is the account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.

With a POP account you should be able to right click on the name of the sub-folder and select "Rename" from the context menu.

Sorry, yes, I see that it is SeaMonkey. The same instruction will apply in that application: Right click the folder name and select "Rename Folder."

Just got this Dan

I have tight clicked the folder I want to rename but there is no option to RENAME!

About the only thing I can do is right click on PROPERTIES and I can highlight the folder but not change it.

You can only rename subfolders that you have yourself created.

So -

INBOX - No

INBOX2 - Yes.
