Outlook missing "Favorites Folder"

[tennisbob]

I just switched from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003. My Outlook Folder List
has no "Favorites Folder" - how do I add one? Or... if it does have one, how
do I get it to show up in the Folders List window?

Thanks

Folder List view does not use the Favorites Folder. Mail view does.

I installed Office 2007 after using Office 2000 for years. There I was used
to Outlook having a pane on far left where I could drag folders to open
quickly without having to search for them in the Folders list. I commonly
kept the Inbox, Sent Mail, and Deleted items in there along with maybe one or
two others. I don't see any such thing in Outlook 2007.

In Outlook 2007 they talk about a "Favorite Folders" option which may be
what I'm looking for, but Help says: "On the View menu, point to Navigation
Pane, and click Favorite Folders to uncheck it." But my Navigation Pane
doesn't have a Favorite Folders option. Why not, and how can I configure
Outlook 2007 to do what I need?

Would greatly appreciate any help or advice.

I FOUND IT! Go back to sleep, everyone..By looking more carefully at
previous questions on the same subject. The secret is to hit Go (in upper
menu bar), then Mail, and THEN open the navigation pane, where the Favorite
Folders will be found. But I still don't know why the Help item quoted above
didn't also specify that procedure!
Sorry to have bothered you...

It sounds like you were starting in the folder list view. Ctrl+1 is the
keyboard shortcut for the mail module.
