Custom Folder

[Odd Spot]

Is there any way to leverage the folder view in Outlook with items that
don't physically exist in the folder. I want to be able to pull items
that I have gathered from various folders and display them in a new
folder without actually moving them or copying them to the new folder.

Yes, with mail items in Outlook 2003, which supports search folders.

Can these be created programmatically in replace of a folder that
exists in the inbox? Is there any way to do it with previous versions
of Outlook?

"Replace" makes no sense in the context of search folders, which are
essentially virtual folders that are the result of a search. They can be
created programmatically with the results of an Application.AdvancedSearch
search by using the Search.Save. Search folders as such do not exist in
earlier versions of Outlook although there have been applications in the
past that have created similar virtual aggregations using Extended MAPI.
