I have an old blackberry 8700c, I want to create a home screen icon that takes me directly to the SMS Inbox folder, or to a specific folder from my exchange mailbox, how do I do that?
I found out that pressing alt with the wheel lets me move or delete an existing icon from the homescreen, but how do I add an entirely new one ?

Not sure why you're posting that here, but I would head over to the forums at crackberry.com.

On my 8330 I just hit the menu key to add folders.

How to add folder icon to the blackberry home screen? - It is easy!

Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
From your BlackBerry home screen, select the BlackBerry Set-up icon, then choose Personal Email Set-up. (On older devices, just look for the Personal Email Set-up icon.)
Select Personal Email Set-up.
Accept Terms and Conditions.
On the 'Email Account Set-up' page, enter your full email address (including '@gmail.com' or '@your_domain.com') but leave the 'Password:' field blank. Select Next.
You'll see a screen that says 'We were unable to configure [username@gmail.com].' Select I will provide the settings to add this email account, then Next.
Select Internet Service Provider Email (POP/IMAP), then Next.
Select I will provide the settings to add this email account, then Next.
You'll see 'The BlackBerry Internet Service could not configure [username@gmail.com] email account.' Select Provide The Settings to continue.
In the 'User name:' field, enter your full email address (including '@gmail.com'). Google Apps users, please enter your full email address at your domain. Then enter your password in the 'Password:' field.
In the 'Email server:' field, enter 'imap.gmail.com,' then select Next. Google Apps users should enter the server name provided; don't add your domain name in this step.
If IMAP access was successfully configured, select OK.
Below your newly added Gmail address, select Edit.
Select Advanced Settings at the bottom.
Make sure the port is set to '993' and 'Use SSL' is set to 'Yes.'
Select Save.
