Hi,
I have three e-mail accounts n outlook.
Whenever I open outlook these accounts
are not expanded i.e. the folders under it are not shown
and everytime I need to push the plus sign on the left.
Is there a way to make outlook expend the e-mail folder view
automatically?

Don't confuse "account" and "Personal Folders" (PST) file. They're not the
same thing. Typically, all POP and Exchange accounts in Outlook use the
same set of folders. If you have multiple sets, then you added the PSTs
yourself and you sort incoming messages using rules to the appropriate PST.
While you may sort based on the incoming account, the PST isn't tied to that
account in any way.

For Outlook 2003 that I use at work, both my Exchange mailbox folders and my
PST folders remain expanded, while my IMAP folders do not.

my 2 pop and 1 imap folder do not remain expendad and I still dont
understand why.
In outlook express they were always expended but in putlook they are not.
I dont know why a simple expansion can not be done in outlook.

There's only one PST used as the delivery location no matter how many POP
accounts you have. If you use more than one PST it's because you have rules
that move messages from the delivery PST to the second PST. Are you saying
that the delivery PST doesn't remain expanded either?
and 1 imap folder do not remain expendad and I still dont
understand why.

I don't think IMAP PSTs stay expanded ever.

Hotmail account folders cannot be made to open expanded.

Well, even Hotmail data is kept in a PST.

Like IMAP folders, I don't think Hotmail folders ever stay expanded.
