Contacts in Folder List

[Pegasus [MVP]]

On my previous installation of Outlook 2003 I used to have mail folders,
contact folders and the calendar all listed arranged on the left side under
my mailbox (see below). Since re-installing Outlook 2003 on a Windows 7
machine my contacts and my calendar are shown as buttons at the bottom of
the folder list. So far I have been unable to get them back into the folder
list. Is it possible, and if so, how?

FNL Mail Folder
Calendar
Contacts
Deleted Items
Drafts
Inbox
etc.

Why don't you just click the Folder View button at the bottom of the
Navigation Pane?

Great, this was it! I actually had to tick the button labelled "Folder
List", which restored the list of folders. Under older versions of Outlook
this menu item used to reside under the View pull-down menu, which is where
I kept looking in vain.

Thanks for your help!

But you said weren't using an older version. You went from Outlook 2003 to
2003, right?
I suspect you'd just forgotten that you'd reset Outlook 2003's default view
(Mail View) to Folder List view on the old installation.
