## Renaming a mail folder.

The layout of the screen is similar to that in the main Mail Folders screen.

- The first form

  <tr__BANNER__>
  Directory Filter

  allows you to select a subset of your mail folders.
  - The Directory field shows the name of the current directory (default `mail`). Entering the name of another directory and then selecting Apply will display the contents of that directory. You can type `mail` in here at any time to return to the default mail folders list.
  - The Filter field allows the selection of mail folders by name. For example typing `sent` into the Filter field will, once the Apply button is selected, cause the display to change to show only mail folders with `sent` in their name.
- The list of mail folders.
- The second form

  <tr__BANNER__>
  New name

  - Selecting the Rename button will return you to the mail folder listing screen, with the renamed folder listed. The Status line will be updated

    <TR__STATUS__>
    Status: Renamed mailbox mail/sent-mail to be mail/old-sent-mail

  - Selecting Cancel returns you to the main mail folder listing screen and no changes are made.
