hide unused outlook system folders

[bbutle01]

Outlook 2007 and 2003 have a number of folders I don't use and would
frankly like to hide them. I understand they may be important, so
deleting them is not necessary.

Specifically, I want to hide 'search folders', 'sync issues', journal
and 'rss feeds'

And for some users I want to hide notes, sent items, outbox...

Outlook provides no way to do that.

Well that stinks, and thanks for the reply.

Frankly, I think that was a bad design decision. It's wasted screen
space, espcially with the almost NEVER used 'sync issues.' I tried RSS
for a while myself, just got too distracting... And the journal...
tried it, I've never needed it.

I have never used sync issues to resolve any problems the users have,
but they have sure enough called me to tell me they have sync issues,
and I have to tell them to just ignore it.

Thanks again.

You can hide Outlook folders with this external tool:

However, it won't work for the search folders, because they're not a "real" folder.
