Using the Folder List

Discussion

The Folder List can be used instead of (or in conjunction with) the Outlook Bar. This list allows you to view available folders and to display items within those folders. You can also perform folder management functions, such as creating subfolders to organize your items.

The Folder List does not appear by default. You can display the Folder List by clicking the name of the open folder, which appears on the left side of the Folder Banner. A small down arrow appears next to the open folder name. When you select a folder from the Folder List, the folder appears in the information viewer and the Folder List is disabled. You can also use the folder name as a toggle to disable the Folder List.

You can permanently enable the Folder List using the Folder List command on the View menu or the pushpin symbol at the top of the Folder List. Conversely, you can disable the Folder List using the Folder List command on the View menu or the Close button at the top of the Folder List.
