# Using Email Folders

This page shows how to create and use email folders for your @extinctionrebellion.uk account[<sup>1</sup>](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1329#bkmrk-the-information-on-t) via our 'Roundcube' Webmail interface.  However, if you're [accessing your emails via a third party app](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1307#bkmrk-page-title) using IMAP (not POP3), then you'll be able to carry out these operations via that software also, and changes made there will automatically be copied into the Webmail account.

#### Why use folders?
Folders allow you to organise your mails.  Our Webmail comes with some folders already created. These are:

- Inbox
- Drafts
- Sent
- Spam
- Deleted items
- Archived

You may want to create extra folders for various reasons such as:

- to group together all mails that relate to a specific campaign/issue
- to group together mails being dealt with by specific activist
- to facilitate the sorting of incoming mail by [using plus-addressing](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1306#bkmrk-page-title)
- to facilitate the sorting of incoming mail by [using filters](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1328#bkmrk-page-title)
