How do you force outlook to always display Personal Folders instead of Inbox

[nooneinparticular314159]

I want outlook to start in my Calendar, which I got it to do by
clicking on Advanced Options and telling it to start in Calendar.
Great. But now in the Mail pane, it displays my inbox by default
rather than "Personal Folders". This is rather useless, since not
only
don't I want to see my Inbox, but also don't use Outlook for mail in
any case. I DO want to see Outlook today when I click on the Mail
icon. You can set outlook today to display by default, but that
applies to all of Outlook, not just to the Mail folder, and causes the
calendar not to be displayed by default. So, keeping in mind that
when
Outlook starts, I always want it to display my calendar by default,
how
do I force it to display Outlook Today rather than Inbox when I click
on Mail?

Outlook Today is not a mail folder. It will never display when you click on all mail folders.
