Reorder multiple mailboxes

[Muscolo]

I have an exec admin that manages 3 mailboxes in Outllook 2003. We run on an
exchange server. Can we reorder the Mailboxes? She has "Mailbox - Joe" and
Mailbox - Jim" and her own, "Mailbox - Jane". All we want to do is change
the order that she sees them in. This worked with Outlook XP but when we
upgraded to 2003 we lost (apparently) that functionality. Thanks....

How did you reorder it in Outlook XP? Sounds like you used the Outlook Bar
and not the Folder List. The Outlook Bar has been replaced with the Shortcut
Navigation.

We used to click and drag "Mailbox" but now it gives us the message of Can't
move Special folders.

In the Folder List? The entire mailbox (not just a single folder)?

It's in the Navigation pane to the left under All Mail Folders. Yes, we wnat
to reorg the order in which the Mailboxes she taskes care of appear...We
can't just click, drag and drop - that's when we get that "Can't move special
folder" error. I hope this explains it a bit better - sorry and thaks for
your help so far...

I don't have an Outlook 2002 installation at hand here to verify but I don't
believe you were ever (supposed to be) able of doing that. It should list
your mailbox at the top and any additional mailbox/storage location in
alphabetical order.

Thanks for the help.. I think you hit the nail right on. Your mailbox
listed first then in alpha order anyone else.. I appreciate your time.
