Default Inbox/Outbox

[Mark]

Does anyone know how to set the default inbox and outbox
to an imap folder instead of the local folder outlook sets
it to?

Also, I want to rearrange the listed order of my folders
so that "inbox" is listed first as it is my most used
fodler.

Thanks,
mark

I don't believe that's possible. I tried it with OL 2003 and the IMAP store
was not available as the default delivery location.

Also, I want to rearrange the listed order of my folders
so that "inbox" is listed first as it is my most used
fodler.

I do't believe this is possible, either. Folders are listed in alphabetical
order.

Well that makes outlook express so much easier to use.
Why would anyone use a bigger program that has more
limitations? (granted there are other features, but still)

If you have no need of the other Outlook features, there is no need to use
it. In fact, I believe Outlook Express does a better job of IMAP than
Outlook. If, however, you need to use the Calendar, Tasking, Journaling,
and so on Outlook provides, you can decide either to use OE for mail and OL
for all the other things or just stick with OL for all of it.
