outlook 2003 favourite folder
Hi Experts,
I have a quick questions about outlook 2003.
we use public shared folders which are available to view in 'folder list view'. But you obviously cant see the shared folders in 'Mail view'.
we have a lot of shared folders and it starts getting messy.
is there anyway I can add the shared folder I use (+sub folders) to my favourites list in 'Mail View' or is there anyway I can have my own favourites list in 'folder list view'
I can right click on the folder and select 'add to favourites' but this still only displays under public folders half way down the list and isn't easy on the eyes.

Don't use favorites, but Shortcuts instead. It's still not ideal, but it's at least something you have a bit of control over.

that's exactly what I tried doing Phil, but it only shows in favourites under my folder list not my mail view
Hey there,
It seems that you have turned of the favorites for the mail view. Do do so all you need to do is just go to the navigation pane and select the favorites option.

Morning Phil,
Sorry I don't know if I am explaining myself properly.
the favourites folder is showing in both Mail view and folder view.
if I add things to my favourites in mail view, then it will show under my favourites in mail view.
if I add things to my favourites in folder view, then it will show under my favourites in folder view.
what I am trying to do is get a public folder (which can only be viewed from folder view to my knowledge) to show in my Mail View.
when I try to drag and drop the folder it says that a public shortcut can not be added to mail view.
is there a way round this or not?
