Outlook 2003- Miss the shortcut bar from 2000

[yrafal]

I miss the shortcut bar from Outlook 2000. In the shortcut bar I had a
shortcut icon going deep into the public folders..with one click it opened up
the all my public folders. Now you have open public folders several times a
day, moving down the tree and it takes too much time. We work in public
folders often.

Also, in Outlook 2003, you cannot view your favorites folder and the folder
list at the same time...such a pain. It would be great to have the inbox icon
at the top at all times.

Another thing is if you add a shortcut to the public folder..it only opens
up that one folder and not the entire public folder directory.

Our agency just upgrade to Outlook 2003 and so many functions that were so
userful in Outlook 2000 have been taken away.

The Outlook Bar functionality migrated to the Shortcuts navigation pane in Outlook 2003. Have you tried it?

Ms. Mosher,
Thank you for writing. I have tried your suggestion and may not have
explained it well enough in my original message but stated when you create a
shortcut it only opens one folder - it does not open the entire public folder
directory, in one click like it use to, where you can see all folders and
manuever through them with ease. I don't like having to go to the shortcut
window (then you lose view of all your other folders) then only to one public
folder instead of all of them. Before I could have the shortcut to the public
folder with my other shortcut icons and in one click expand all my public
folders, it just worked beautifully and was so useful. I work in public
folders a lot and now it so time consuming since that function was removed.
