Customizing the Open, Move, and Copy To Menus

Once you have set up a number of mailboxes, you may discover that there are several mailboxes you use frequently. You can customize your Move menu, the Open Mailbox submenu of the Mailbox menu, and the Copy To Mailbox submenu of the Message menu to show these key mailboxes. Opening and filing to mailboxes is much more efficient this way.

Adding the names of the mailboxes that you recently opened to the Move Menu and Copy To Mailbox submenu of the Message menu can save you time when you next move or copy messages to these mailboxes.

To Add Mailboxes to the Open, Move, and Copy To Menus

  1. Choose Move Menu Setup from the Options menu.

    The Move Menu Setup Options dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select Local or IMAP Server to specify the server where the mailboxes are located.

    If you select IMAP Server, type the server name in the text field.

  3. Type the path to the mailbox under Path/Mailbox Name, then click Add.

    The mailbox is added to the Move menu, as well as the Open Mailbox submenu of the Mailbox menu and the Copy To Mailbox submenu of the Message menu.

  4. (Optional) Make further customizations:

    • To alter what is in the Path/Mailbox Name field once a mailbox name is selected, edit that field and click Change.

    • To delete a mailbox name from the scrolling list, select it and click Delete.

    • To display the mailboxes in alphabetical order, click Alphabetize.

    • To change the position of a selected mailbox in the scrolling list, click Move Up or Move Down.

  5. Click OK or Apply.

To Change the Number of Mailboxes Displayed in the Move Menu and Copy To Mailbox Submenu
