Default Creating Email sub folders

I have a Tmobile Dash runniing WM6.1.

I use Gmail and have it correctly set up on my phone.

I would like to create another email folder, like stuff to keep or something like that but when I go to the manage folders page, I can not do anything. No create new folder or anything.

Does anyone know how I can create another email folder for my pop gmail account on my phone?

Thanks,

jeff

I just want to be able to create a new folder so when I want to keep an email on my phone, from my gmail account, I can just put it there, and it wont fall off when I download the next three days messages.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

Go to messaging and under your e-mail you setup go to 'tools' and then 'options' and 'Account settings'. Instead of downloading the last 3 days, set it to "keep all." Now your phone and outlook will be synced completely

Yes, it will
If you set the time to manual...the emails will be deleted after your next manual check.
If you have it set to every 15, after the 15 minutes is when they get deleted/
