  Adding a New Drawer to Your Index

  Choose Add Drawer to Index from the main window's
  Maintenance menu to create a new mail drawer or access
  a drawer that was created in a directory other than your
  default Mail directory.

  Mail displays a dialog box containing a list of your directories
  and a list of all files in your default directory that have a file
  type of MAI. This includes mail messages (identified by the
  prefix MAIL$) and mail drawers.

  To create a drawer that does not currently exist, enter the
  name of the drawer in the Selection entry box.  If you want to
  create the drawer in a directory other than your default Mail
  directory, you must enter the full file specification including
  the name of the currently existing destination directory.

  To add an existing drawer to your index, select the file name
  of the drawer.  To search another directory for drawers, use
  the file filter to display the files in that directory, or enter the
  full file name in the Selection entry box.

  In the Display Name entry box, enter the name you want to
  be displayed in the main window.  If you do not enter a name,
  the drawer's file name is used by default.
