Outlook Folders Order not alphabetised

[Ken Wright]

Recently been given a new laptop at work, and machine has
been reimaged with our Corp standard image of Win 2K with
Office XP, so I have Outllok XP installed. What has really
thrown me though is that my folders are no longer in
alphabetical order, so under my folder list I have the
following:-

+ Personal Folders
+ Public Folders
- Outlook Today
Calendar
Contacts
Deleted Items
Drafts
Inbox
etc

As you can see it is not even as if they are reversed,
because Pe comes before Pu, but P does not come before O.

This bugs me because I like to have my Outllok Today at the
top of the folder list and then scroll down for what I need
in the Personal folders.

Any ideas on how I reset this order?

Regards

Hi Roady, many thanks for that - I guess I'll leave that to the IT folks at work
as I'm likely to blow away all the proper settings if I try this from home, but
at least I know it's not something stupid that I've done, so I can ding them for
it and have them do the work. Unless of course there is an easy way to import
settings from another profile, and I could then check the new one before blowing
away the old?

No, it's something you want to do at the Office. Especially if you use an
ost-file (cache your messages to the harddisk)
