I have created a few folders that I no longer want but cant seem to delete them. At the same time I have new folders I'd like to add but they dont appear in the foldes window after creating them.

When you highlight a folder in the left column and then right-click on it, the pop-up menu offers "Delete" and also "New Subfolder" as two of the choices. You can also click on File, and choose "Delete."

If you want a new primary folder, click on the desired account, then right-click. Choose "New Folder." Again, you can also click on File, choose "New" and then "New Folder" in the next menu.
