Order of folder list

I recently got a new laptop and upgraded to Win XP and Outlook 2002. My
folders are now listed differently.
Used to be (top to bottom): Outlook Today (Cal, Con, Del, Inbox, etc.
subfolders), Personal Folders, Project Folders, Public Folders.
Now (top to bottom): Personal Folders, Project Folders, Public Folders,
Outlook Today.

Help! Having my outlook today (inbox, etc.) BELOW everything else is making
me insane. :)

Thanks
 
Do you have the latest SP of Office?

Your Exchange mailbox should be on top - it begins with M :) - unless you
are using a pst for the mailbox.

I'm not sure if I have the latest SP. How can I tell?

I'm not using a pst for the mailbox - it lives on the Exchange servers in
our Data Centers...so that's not it.

The name of the folder reads as "Outlook Today - [Wharton, Kati]". I would
think that the "O" would make it be above the "P" folders (personal, project
and public), but maybe it's going by the "W" of my last name? The weird
thing is it was never like that before (on my former laptop).

Thanks...and sorry about the duplicate post of the question. I'm a
newbie/idjit!

My experimentation indicated that the order the PSTs will appear in the
folder list corresponds to the order in which you added the service for
them. If Outlook Today is a PST, you added that one last. If it's an
Exchange mailbox, you added the Exchange service last.
 
Thanks for the advice, Brian. Unfortunately, it didn't help me. I removed
all services and added them back in the order I want them to appear (my
Outlook today is an Exchange mailbox so I added it first, then the 2 psts)
but they are still in the "backwards" order. Do you have any other
suggestions?

Thanks again for the help!
