Apple mail v3 folder

A blast from the past!

Apple Mail version 3 was released in 2001 with Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma). At that time, the folder structure in Apple Mail was relatively simple. Here's a breakdown of the main folders you would have seen:

  1. Inbox: This is where new emails arrive.
  2. Sent: This folder stores emails you've sent to others.
  3. Drafts: This folder contains emails you've started composing but haven't sent yet.
  4. Trash: This folder holds deleted emails, which can be recovered if needed.
  5. Junk: This folder is where Apple Mail moves suspected spam emails.
  6. All Mail: This folder combines all your emails, including those in the Inbox, Sent, and Drafts folders.
  7. Smart Mailboxes: These are custom folders that use search criteria to filter emails, such as "Unread" or "From: [specific email address]".

Keep in mind that Apple Mail has undergone significant changes and improvements since version 3. Modern versions of Apple Mail, such as those found in macOS High Sierra (2017) and later, offer more advanced features, including:

If you're still using an older version of Apple Mail, you might want to consider upgrading to a newer version to take advantage of these features and improvements.
