Is it at all possible to customize the way the folders are displayed in the
All Mail Folders / Personal Folders view ? Currently the hierarchy view
starts with Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Junk E-mail, etc... I'm very
accustomed to (and like) having the Inbox as the first folder, but I'm not
seeing anything that indicates the order of the folders can be rearranged.
Can they? I know I can rearrange the Mail, Calendar, Contacts buttons
etc... but that's not what I'm after.

Also, Is there a way to remove the Favorite Folders from the Mail View? I
don't see any use for it and would prefer to remove it, but I don't think I
can, can I?

And one last question, with OE I know where to go and set it up so mail is
not sent immediately after composition, it's the Send Immediately option and
it's a good safety feature :-) Outlook seems to be operating that way
right now, but I can't find that toggle switch. The closest option I see is
Options/Mail Setup/ Send/Receive and Send Immediately when connected. But
from what I can see, that's only when initially starting Outlook. Is there
an on/off switch for this behaviour, or is it the standard way of operating
for Outlook?

Thanks,

David...
 
1) Only by renaming folders, which you can't do with the defaults.
2) No. It's actually quite handy when you get used to it.
3) The Send immediately box you found should do what you want. What happens
when you have it enabled?

Thanks Diane,

1.) OK
2.) Hmm... I guess I don't realize that I have a need for it :-)
3.) It appears to work the way I want it to, but the description of how it
works in the help section is what confused me.
