Managing emails with Mail (and more specifically the Mailboxes feature)

I'm not all that familiar with this feature, I imagine it's the standard email manager for Macs but I'm a PC-boyo. I don't even use outlook, I never went very far beyond hotmail.

Anyway, I noticed in mail that it dumps all emails into Inbox by default, which is to be expected and thus isn't that bothersome. Strange thing is that it seems to have a Mailboxes feature that implies you can store your emails in folders that aren't the inbox. I used a feature like this in my Hotmail and I found it was quite conveniant, I made a folder for my work, my personal life, family, gaming, etc.

Problem is... I can't see how one creates new Mailboxes. I can bring up the list of mailboxes, but all I see is the inbox, with no options or selections for adding new ones. I couldn't even find anything that looked like that in the iPad's settings.

What's more frustrating is that I saw in the inbox that you can click edit and it offers you the option of moving your emails. Which, again, implies that other mailboxes can be created. But, again..., the move option is pointless because all I've got so far is one inbox.

Has anyone here figured out how to create multiple mailboxes, or is it the program itself that is still a WIP? And the multiple mailboxes are simply not put into use yet.

You can't create mail folders on the iPad. However, if they are created on a computer, the folders can be seen and used on the iPad.
