How to Combine IMAP Folder with Default?
When I first set up Outlook 2003 my email folder was created outside (just
below) the default folder. I only have my IMAP root name and within that an Inbox folder where all of my email goes. Because there is only that one folder, some functions don't work, such as as deleted files going into a deleted items folder (they are just lined out and I have to manually purge the deleted messages) or junk emails going into the Junk email folder. I want to set it up so that there is just one main folder, organized into subfolders, with all of the functionality of the current default personal folder. I guess I need to combine the two, but I don't know how. Thank you in advance for your help! |

I guess I need to combine the two, but I don't know how. IMAP doesn't allow this. It can't be done when using Outlook as the IMAP client. IMAP also doesn't have a concept of a Deleted Items folder. Items remain in their original folders but are marked for deletion. You must purge them. Outlook 2007 has the ability to automatically purge messages marked for deletion when you switch folders, but Outlook 2003 doesn't. You can, however, use the "Hide Messages Marked for Deletion" or "Group Messages Marked for Deletion" to make your folders easier to manage. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
