Outlook is a great tool for managing email, but it can be a little sparse when it comes to adding new features. If you want to add a mailbox, for example, there’s not really a good way to do it without installing a third-party add-on. Thankfully, there’s a simple workaround.
How to Add a Mailbox in Outlook
Adding a mailbox in Outlook is easy. Open Outlook, click the Mailbox tab, and then click New Mailbox. In the New Mailbox dialog box, type a name for the mailbox, and then click Create.
In the Inbox view, you’ll see the new mailbox appear in the list on the left. (If the mailbox doesn’t appear in the list, click the Show Inbox button on the toolbar and then click the new mailbox.)
To send or receive mail in the new mailbox, click the Mailboxes tab, and then click the name of the mailbox. The Mailbox Contents dialog box opens, and you can send or receive mail in the mailbox.

If you’re like many people, you may have a few mailboxes in your Outlook account that you use for different purposes. For example, you might have a “work” mailbox where you store your work-related messages, and a “personal” mailbox where you store your personal messages.
You can also create additional mailboxes to store your messages in more precisely. For example, you might create a “family” mailbox to store messages related to your family, or a “friends” mailbox to store messages from your friends.
