Most disappointing to say the least, I cannot add folder to my Samsung email app.
There are no means on the app to do so
No add folder link to be found, therefore I can't progress, I have spent a lot of time looking every where possible to look for link but no go.
Today I rang Samsung support, the support lady was unable to help.
after spending 45 minutes with me, in the end she hung up, I guess through frustration at not able to solve the issue
So here I am with s22 ultra phone and not able to add folders to my Samsung email app.
What to do, where to go if Samsung support can't help me 
Anybody on the community forum with knowledge how to fix
PS
There is no update on playstore for this app.
Thank you for any help with my problem

Thankyou Dolgogi, for trying to help.
I am totally lost at the moment.
If Samsung can't help me, what hope do I have to put folders on my mobile Samsung s22 ultra.
It should be so easy to do. I need to add folders, but can't!!
No where to go, end of the road
Anyway thankyou for going out of your way to help

If you have several email accounts on your phone, use one (not All accounts). If it is a IMAP service you will be able to add a folder in that account by opening the menu, scroll down to the bottom and click "+ add folder". You will then be prompted to add a folder location (I chose Root) and then you are prompted to add a name of the folder and when you click enter (it says the equivalent of Create in my Swedish version) and you are done. Then you can do the same for your other email accounts. If it is a POP3 account it will not work.  When you want to view the content of your new folder you can only see it if you are viewing that account only, not if you choose All accounts. Hope this helps!

Hi Terry,

redoing the setup as imap instead of pop3 as suggested here enabled the "Add folder" option for me.

Applying the fix from this thread made all previously existing subfolders visible.
