Outlook 2007 - Navagation Panel

[Carl Kirsch, Atlanta]

I want to organize my email folders and subfoders in Outlookl 2007's
navagation panel with out regard to alphabet. How do I do that? I can do
that in IncrediMail, but not Outlook.

(Presently, I have to "trick" Outlook by numbering my email folders, One,
Two, Three, and so forth and the folders organized accordinly in decending
order. However, I have many email subfolders per folder and that becomes a
pain. IncrediMail allows me to click and move any email folder or subfolder
without regard to alphabet. That's important to me because when a particular
file becomes "hot". I can put it at at the top of the list of email folders
for easy access.)

You cannot rearrange the folders in the Navigation Pane except in the
Shortcuts view.

Use the Mail module (Ctrl+1) and drag folders to the favorites list. You
can collapse the folder list under the favorites list to hide them.
Assuming you have a lot in the favs list, after you arrange them to your
liking, close outlook, wait a min or two then find the xml file that holds
the navigation pane data (proile_name.xml) and make a copy. Restart
Outlook. If for some reason outlook makes a new file, you can replace it
with a copy of the backup. (See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm for the file paths.)
