USING FOLDERS IN MY ARCHIVE DEFAULT FOLDERS My Archive displays three different folders (as shown in Figure 22) by default, which can help you access specific email categories quicker than browsing through your entire personal mailbox. My Archive default folders are: All Mail, which loads by default when you open My Archive All Received All Sent SMART FOLDERS Overview Figure 22: My Archive Default Folders End users have access to Smart Folders. The root folder, named Smart Folders, always displays, and allows end users to create Smart Folders that will appear as sub- folders below the Smart Folders folder. Basically, a Smart Folder is nothing more complicated than a saved search or a filter that a user applies on his My Archive. NOTE: End Users do not have the capability to created nested Smart Folders. Figure 23: My Archive Smart Folders 17
Create Smart Folders Creating Smart Folders is a very easy task. It is almost the same process as creating an advanced search given that a Smart Folder is basically a saved search or a filter that you apply on your My Archive. 1. Click the "+" sign next to the Smart Folders root folder, as shown in Figure 24. Figure 24: Creating a New Smart Folder 2. Give the Smart Folder a unique name, as shown in Figure 25. 3. Populate the Smart Folders fields (refers to the Advanced search section to sell all the search options available) with the desired criteria to create the filter defining which messages will go into the Smart Folder, as shown in Figure 25. 4. Click [Save Smart Folder] to save and create your Smart Folder, as shown in Figure 25. Figure 25: Creating the Filter and Saving New Smart Folder 5. You will see your new Smart Folder displayed below the root Smart Folders folder, as shown in Figure 26. 18
Figure 26: Newly Created Smart Folder NOTE: From there, you can either edit or delete the folder. It is worth noting that every time you will access a Smart Folder, its contents will be updated. This means that if some messages (and their attachments), matching the Smart Folder criteria, have been collected since the last time you opened the folder, they will be automatically updated and categorized in the matching Smart Folder. Edit Smart Folders Once a Smart Folder has been created, it is updated with the latest information (collected messages and attachments) every time the user clicks and opens the Smart Folder. Note that when an end user edits a Smart Folder, no emails and/or attachments are deleted or removed from My Archive. The associated emails and/or attachments with the Smart Folder would still be available in the All Mail folder if they were not to match anymore the new Smart Folder criteria. 1. Click the Smart Folder you want to edit, as shown in Figure 27. 2. You will see a red "X" and a "pen" logo on the right of the Smart Folder. Click the "pen" icon to start editing the Smart Folder, as shown in Figure 27. Figure 27: Editing a Smart Folder 3. Modify your Smart Folder.
