Re: how do i add additional folders to my email

POP3 has no such thing as "folders", that's an IMAP thing. Switch your account over to IMAP (you won't lose anyhing) and the server will keep your email in folders. ("Folders" in POP3 are an artifact in the email program - the server still sees just a single email account. If you look at the same account in your computer, you won't see the folders you made on your phone if the account is POP3.)
