I am used from OE to see Inbox, Outbox,Sent Items,Deleted Items,Drafts


I would like the same order in Outlook but do not see how to do it.

Dragging the boxes does not work.
 
The sort order is hard coded.

Meaning it cannot be changed, I assume.

Can I delete or hide some boxes then?

I just do not like the order Outlook uses !
 
No, you can't delete or hide them.

I just figured out that I re-arrange them to my liking.

Drag to line which comes up and drop the box.

Works fine.

changed in the folder list.
