show subfolders from a shortcut

G

Guest

I have a folder (I'll call it myFolder) that contains only subfolders. I
cannot access those subfolders if I access myFolder either from a shortcut or
myFolder as a favorite. However, from the "All Mail Folders," where the
expand/collapse (+/-) buttons appear alongsice myFolder, I can get the access.

Is this not possible in Outlook 2003? In Outlook XP (I believe it was,)
this could be done.

You have to put each one of those subfolders in shortcuts ( and 2002 was
the same BTW).

what about if I want to have a folder in my personal folders lets say
"Master Project" underneath I create Cost Folder, Labor Hours Folder,
House folder One, House folder Two and House Folder 3.

If I put every single cost email in the cost folder and every single
labor hours email in there folder.........for some of the cost emails
they are jsut related to house folder one, but others might have info
related to house folder one and two........so rather then copying the
email and making seperate cost folders I just want one master cost
folder....and I want to create a "short cut" to this cost folder which
appears as a sub folder in house folder one, house folder two and
three.........

i know how to make shortcut folders, but they only appear in the
shortcut folder area.........i want to be able to create shortcuts to
one folder......

i know how to copy the contents of a folder to another folder, but
rather then remembering to do this I just want to put the email into
the main folder and create shortcuts to that folder as a subfolder in
other folders........

any help?

Categorise instead of making everything a separate folder. Use the
concept of each job/project as a category name. Group by Category.
