To rename a folder:

1. Double-click the folder whose name you want to change in your list of personal folders.

   The folder name highlights for editing.

   

2. Type the new name and then press Enter.

   

   Tip: Folder names can be letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), space ( ), and underline (_) characters only.

   The renamed folder appears in alphabetical order in the personal folder list.

   

To delete a folder:
