INTRODUCTION

Outlook sets up default mail folders for common items, including the Inbox for mail you've received, the Outbox for mail that's ready to be sent, as well as Sent Items, Deleted Items, and Drafts. Outlook also automatically sets up certain Favorite Folders. You can use this folder list to quickly access commonly used folders. You can select a folder from the Favorite Folders or the All Mail Folders list to display the contents of any listed folder.

TIP

Displaying the Folder List

By default, when the Mail feature is selected, Outlook displays only mail folders in the Outlook Bar. To display all your Outlook folders?not just the ones related to Mail?in the Outlook Bar, click the Folder List button in the Outlook Bar.
