1377268 2014-06-16 06:25:00 Hi All.

On XP Outlook Express, on the Folders column, the top ones were...Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items & Drafts.

On W8 the above are in alphabetic order. Is it possible to move, bunch them together in W8 as in XP? Yhanks. PJ

1377269 2014-06-16 06:34:00 What email program ? W8 doesn't come with a email program ( same as W7)

If you are using Live Mail, heres the default Layout: (Names removed from two accounts) + top account has a created folder.

1377271 2014-06-16 10:42:00 There is a huge difference between Outlook Express and Outlook.

Outlook 2007 & 2010 is fixed as is with Alphabetic and Numerical order. (AFAIK)

What you can do is put a number in front of the Folder Name so it then auto arranges

Example:

1 Trade Me
2 House Stuff
3 Birthdays

Etc

Upgrade to Outlook 2013 and its a feature inbuilt. :D

Is it possible to move, bunch them together Not to sure what you mean by that ?? You can create a Folder and make sub-folders within the folder -- Exactly the same way as previously ( if thats what is meant)

1377272 2014-06-16 11:34:00 That pic is cool Wainui. I've just migrated to a Windows 8.1 machine and detest the user interface but accept I'd better learn.

Am using Outlook for mail but what I see is absolutely bare bones - nothing like your pic. I do have MS Office 2013 loaded now. Am I using a low level version of Outlook by default or are there settings hidden somewhere. Tells me it won't accept POP3 either. What about xtra.mail?

1377273 2014-06-16 12:13:00 If it doesn't accept POP3 you're using the built-in Mail app, not Outlook. :) pcuser42 (130)
1377274 2014-06-16 12:27:00 Aha - thanks Pcuser, but the mail app calls itself Outlook.

Anyway understood and I'll have to go through all the bleedin setup contacts etc once again.

Cheers. :D

1377275 2014-06-17 06:02:00 I have found a workaround, I think. Click on "Inbox" look down list & "Add to favourites". This then goes to the top of the folders list. Dont know if it will work yet. PJ Poppa John (284)
