The BlueMind application has a folders list cache, so a recently created or shared folder may not be displayed in the list immediately. To force-refresh the list, the trick is to: - go to the Manage folders menu:
- and just return to webmail, without doing anything else.

When a folder is selected, its content is shown in the right-hand pane .
The "shared folders" folder holds all the folders – user-specific or shared mailboxes – you have been granted rights to.
Messages can be moved from one folder to another by dragging and dropping them from the message list into the desired folder.
Right-click a folder to open a folder-specific action menu:

About disk quotas When disk quota is enabled, the disk usage percentage is displayed permanently in Mail at the bottom of the left-hand pane and hovering with the mouse shows usage details:
Disk quota usage is color-coded: orange = 75% used, dark red = 85% used, and red 100% used:
When a quota is reached, incoming emails are blocked. These emails can be kept on the server for a few days.
This may also cause disruptions to send, and possibly delete, operations as the system needs to perform copies in a temporary and/or trash folders. | Remarque |

| To delete messages when the disk quota has been reached, use the delete permanently function (without sending them to the trash) by pressing <SHIFT+Del>. |
When a disk quota has been reached, you can increase it manually and decrease it back to its original size at any time. |
