This is not referring to PST file but actually saving a email into a folder location for e.g on a shared drive or even to a local folder. This is ismilar to opening an email and then going 'File' - 'Save As' and then saving as a .msg email to a folder location, but instead of doing that, you just drag and drop the email into the shortcut (located in your left window pane) in Outlook Can this be done. Thanks	learning (5137)

Have a read of this: How do I add file shortcut in Outlook 2007 navigation pane? (help.lockergnome.com) I followed the instructions given in the last post by Roady [MVP] to create a new shortcut folder to open up "My Documents". But as I said, I can't see how to keep this folder in the same view as your inbox so you can drag and drop emails onto it. Edit: Ah ha! I needed another coffee. I have my "My Documents" folder in the same view as my inbox now, but each time I try to drag an email onto it, I get the "no-go" icon (circle with a line across it), indicating that action is not available.
