Here you will find our extensive tutorials on how to use our Content Management System. You can also look by keyword using the search facility at the bottom of this page.

If you have a lot of mail in your mailboxes and are finding your IMAP connection sluggish as a result, a good way to speed up the mail service is to move old messages out of your inbox and into a sub-folder so that the server is not working with as many messages when making a connection. Below you will find a basic guide to creating an archive of old messages.

When logged into webmail you can use the following steps below.

1. Click the Folders tab to create a new folder

2. Give the folder a name e.g. Archive, and set as a subfolder of [none] to appear in the main folder list

3. Refresh the browser to see your Archive folder appear in your list of folders

4. Choose the mail you want to archive - either by clicking the check-all box at top or by selecting individually

5. Select your new folder e.g. Archive from the drop-down box and click the MOVE button.

6. Refresh your browser, then click your new folder to view your moved messages.

7. If you are using IMAP - your email will then update to appear in the sub-folder you have created in your email client.
