Folders

After users click the Folders option in the mail home page— which is presented by the summary.jsp file—they are able to view or create a specific folder. When users select the Folders option, control is passed to the getfolders.jsp file, which fetches the folder names from the server and forwards requests to the folders.jsp file, which then displays the available list of folders. A New Folder option also appears, allowing users to create a new folder if needed.

When users select the New folder option, control passes from the current page (the folders.jsp file), to the newFd.jsp file, which prompts users for the name of the folder. Control then passes to the doNewFd.jsp file, which creates the new folder. Users then return to the folders page by following the Folders option that appears after the new folder has been created.

When users select an existing folder, control passes to the folderMenu.jsp file, which provides users with three options from which to select: Open, Rename, or Delete.

Open

The Open option reloads Inbox screen (passing control to the doInbox.jsp file), substituting the selected folder data for Inbox data.

Rename

The Rename option passes control to the renameFd.jsp file, which prompts users to enter a new name for the folder.

Delete

The Delete option passes control to the delFd.jsp file, which deletes the folder.

All three links eventually present users with a Folders option that returns control to the folders.jsp file.
