Preview Pane on Personal Folders

Hi,

One of my users has noticed that on the top level of a
Personal Folder, there is no option for the preview pane,
but on any email subfolders, there is the option.

I have looked for a TechNet article hoping to explain why
and I believe that it is a functionality issue, as it
isn't classed as an email folder, but can someone confirm
this or point me in the direction of a Knowledge Base
article.

Thanks in anticipation,

Carl Smith

Sorry,

Should mention that this is on Outlook 2002.

Your explanation is as good as any other. There should be no items stored in that folder, hence nothing to preview.
