I previously had my mail sorted into three categories, mail, secondary mail and junk mail. now I onliy have 2 mail and junk. I really preferred the 3 categories. Especially with my main mail being from known or regular sources. Can this three mail system please be reinstalled?

    To restore your email sorting system with three categories (main mail, secondary mail, and junk mail), you may need to manually create a new folder for the secondary mail category. Here’s how you can do it in Outlook:

    1. Create a New Folder: Right-click on your Inbox or any other folder where you want to create the secondary mail folder, select New Folder, and name it something like "Secondary Mail".
    2. Organize Your Emails: Move emails that you consider secondary into this new folder. You can do this by dragging and dropping them or using the Move option.
    3. Set Up Rules: If you want emails to automatically go into the secondary mail folder, you can set up rules. Go to Home > Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts and create a new rule to move specific emails to your new folder based on criteria you define.

    This way, you can effectively manage your emails in three categories as you preferred.
