|  To help you organize your messages using folders, you can use Outlook 2003's new Ways to Organize pane. Although Outlook provides the Inbox folder, this folder will become cluttered with messages unless you decide how you want to handle the messages that you have read. Some messages will be deleted immediately, others you will reply to or forward. With the exception of the deleted messages, all messages will remain in the Inbox until you move them elsewhere.
