Overview

Email Folders is the mailbox organization feature in the left navigation pane of WPS Mail. It is used to view system folders, create custom folders, and manage your personal folder structure.

Core tasks include:

View mailbox folders: Check system folders, My Folders, and Labels in the left pane and switch to the related message list.
Create a folder: Use the plus icon or the right-click menu in My Folders to add a new folder.
Manage custom folders: Use actions such as Label, Mark all as read, New folder, Edit folder, Delete folder, Import emails, and drag to reorder.

This feature is useful for project-based email sorting, daily inbox cleanup, and long-term mail archiving.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides system folders, custom folders, subfolders, right-click management options, and drag-to-reorder in one sidebar for email organization.	Outlook on the web provides default folders, folder and subfolder creation, rename, delete, and favorites management.	Gmail mainly uses labels instead of folders, with support for creating, nesting, editing, and deleting labels.	Notion Mail supports labels, views, groups, and filters, but nested labels and subfolders are not currently supported.	Adobe official documentation mainly describes email connector workflows that can move, copy, mark, and process emails across folders rather than a consumer inbox folder interface.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS shows system folders, My Folders, and Labels together in the left pane, and supports right-click actions plus drag reordering for daily mailbox cleanup.	Compared with WPS: Outlook also supports folder management, but the referenced page focuses on the web mailbox experience.	Compared with WPS: Gmail uses a label-based organization model, so its workflow differs from a folder-first structure.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail focuses more on views and labels, and it does not currently provide a subfolder structure.	Compared with WPS: Adobe does not provide a comparable consumer mailbox folder interface in the referenced product flow.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to manage system folders, custom folders, and subfolders directly from a mailbox sidebar, WPS follows a familiar folder-based workflow. Products centered on labels or automation can suit different organization styles, but their structure and daily handling flow are different.
