Here are pictures/the steps in how to do this:

The created folder is there on your iPad and it shows up in Gmail on the Web.

Let me know if I've left out a step ... and how it works for you. Good luck.

P.S. And, yeah, I wanted to play with Skitch, like The Archangel and twerppoet ... but still, they're pretty good instructions!

Thank you very much that worked a treat.

Yay! Glad I could help.

Which was really the point - though I did enjoy the heck out of playing with Skitch.

Thanks for coming back to tell of your success.

Thank you Mickey330! I also couldn't set up new folders,Nathan I followed Mickey330s approach but using the ICloud email account which is provided on my ipad and it worked. Brilliant and thanks.

I tried this and followed all your instructions which were great. However, no new folder appeared and I got a pop up box which said ' couldn't create the folder on this server'

Don't understand this as I have an exchange account.
Any suggestions?

The server I am on is. m.google.com

These instructions are for using the actual Mail app on the iPad. It looks as if you are trying to do this using the Web (via Safari). So, is this from using Safari or the Mail app?

To be honest I'm not sure. The pad was set up by the apple store and I think because I have an NTL - mail they had a problem setting it up so maybe that's whymI can't do it. I think I'll probably just accept I have to,work with the folders I have. Thanks so much for your help
