The Status line on the Select Target Mail Folder... screen will show the current action, for example:

<tr__STATUS__>
Status: Adding SENDER filter: "myfriend@someuni.ac.uk"

The Cancel button at the end of the line immediately below the Select Target Mail Folder... heading returns you to the main mail filtering screen and no action is taken.

## Selecting a folder

- If the folder you wish to use is shown in the list then choose:-
  - Select (no copy) if you wish the message just to be put in the selected folder.
  - Select (save copy to inbox) to put one copy in the selected folder and one in the inbox.
  A successful filter entry will then take you back to the main filter screen with the status message and display updated to show the new filter.
- If the folder exists, but you know that it is in another directory, you can expand collapsed directories using the icon.
- If the folder does not exist create it using the Create dialogue. For example:-

  <tr__BANNER__>
  Create under with name

  Once you have selected the Create button the folder is created and the display of mail folders updated. You can then choose one of the Select options, as described above.
