One of the best features of the old Outlook layout was the ability to have
BOTH the Outlook Bar AND the Folder List SIDE BY SIDE, lenghtwise (not on top
of each other so you have HALF the list capacity visible) !!! This allowed
for long lists of both being visible at the same time and filing with click
and drag !!
This is going to be much less efficient.
P.S. No, I'm not one of those people who resist change. There may be
businesses
where this will be wonderful, but not ours.

Well, since you never mention WHAT is your *new* version of Outlook then
we really don't know what versions you refer to that are the old
versions. I'm using Outlook 2002. The Outlook Bar and folder list
panes do display concurrently and vertically (actually the Outlook Bar
is superfluous if you have the folder list pane displayed). If you're
talking about Outlook 2003, have you checked that you cannot change the
layout? I've seen other posts that said you could but you'll have to
expend your own effort to search the relevant newsgroups and/or do a
Google search.

And, as a hint (scroll down):

On the View menu, point to Reading Pane, and then click Right or
Bottom

I still have OL2002 (no bang for the buck, for me, to bother going to
OL2003). I simply found the above by going to
http://support.microsoft.com and searching under "Outlook 2003" for
"reading pane" (the first KB article listed described how to change how
the reading pane works and looks).
