No so Favorite Folders

[Virgin]

Is there anyway to get rid of the favorite folders section from the top of
the left pane? If not is there a way to remove the existing favorites and
stop it adding more? (I have tried the remove option which works for a
while then it adds them back in again)

This is for outlook 2003

Sounds like your settings aren't stored properly as there is no way that
Outlook will add them back once you remove them. See if resetting your
Navigation Pane works for you;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /resetnavpane

Try clicking on the icons on the bottom of the Navigation pane. If you just
click on the mail icon, the Favorites is on the top. If click first on the
mail icon, then on the Folder icon, the Favorites disappear and the folder
list is on top.

Thanks, I've changed to the folder view - that's had the desired effect.

ok, so how do I get it to go straight into folder view every time I open
outlook. I don't want to have to click the folder icon each time...

Closing Outlook in the Folder List Navigation will start it in Folder List
Navigation as well.

Nope, not in my outlook. Just tried it. Closed in folder list, opens in mail
list. And every time I manually switch to folder list everything is
compressed, so I have to expand it into the structure I want. That's so
much effort that if it can't remember it I might as well not bother.

What is your default startup folder set to?
