I would like to take advantage of this feature. I searced FAQ, couldn't find anything. For my sake and others, Would somebody give us a brief tutorial on Managing Folders. TY

I'm not sure what this feature is, Bob, so I may need a tutorial too.

Are you talking about managing folders in messages?

Yes sir. Trying to set up messages into different folders. Easier to locate in the future. TY.

Short tutorial on Manage Folders

In the messages part on the website, there is an option to set up folders for filing messages. There are three default folders: Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted Items. From what I can tell, everyone has these three and the names cannot be altered. When you click the drop-down menu at the top of the inbox and select Manage Folders, it takes you to a page with a list of your folders. As mentioned, the three default folders are there, but there is also an option to add folders. I know many of our members are active traders, so you could create transactions folders such as proposed, agreed upon, completed, canceled, etc. to move messages to when needed. For example, if you move messages for completed transactions to the completed folder, you can always go back and look at those completed transactions. It works a lot like Microsoft Outlook, if anyone is familiar with that program. It basically gives your options to set up additional folders in which to file messages. If anyone has any questions about it, I would be glad to answer them as best I can or help find the answer.

OK, I see all of that. But I don't see how to move messages to a folder, created or otherwise. I don't have a problem in other programs just on TCDB. Think more help is needed.

When you open a message, there will be a drop-down menu at the bottom that says Move Message To: with the drop-down below it. Unfortunately, you will only see this once you have created additional folders. This menu only works for created folders. This drop-down menu also appears at the bottom of your inbox, with the title Move Selected to: with the drop-down below it.

Thank you so much. Got it. ~BOB~

glad I could help
