Making changes in Outlook folders
I changed ISP to MSN and cancelled previous ISP
1. How do I get email delivered to former personal folders (inbox) and not to the new MSN folder (inbox)? I don't want different inboxes. 2. How do I get the "unread mail" to show the new MSN email, not just the former personal folder email? |

1) Tools | Email Accounts. When you go into the dialog to modify email
accounts, you'll see a drop-down list for setting the default delivery store. 2) Not possible. Search folders work only within a single store. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "kung hei" kung wrote in message ...

1. I did change the defailt from the drop down list, but it still goes to the
new msn folders 2. So if I cannot change the inbox, how do I get the new msn inbox to have an unread folder in favorites? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: 1) Tools | Email Accounts.

Thank you. I don't understand the two sets of folders (the original personal
set and the new MSN set.) 1. What do I do with two sets of tasks, notes, contacts? I prefer to have one set, but I do not know how to move them from one folder to the next. I tried moving them within outlook, but an error message said it cannot move them. 2. Can I move all my former folder content to the MSN set then delete the former? Or do I need to keep my original personal folders plus the MSN set. 3. How do I direct my PDA to the correct set of folders? I tried to sync it but it got confused and has duplicated some items more than once, and it lost the names of about 50 contacts in the MSN contact folder and in my PDA. 4. I see you are an author on Outlook. I am not a programmer, nor do I want to understand all the capabilities of Outlook. I just want to understand the folder organization enough to set them up properly and sync them with my pda wthout losing data. Can you recommend a book that would address these issues? Thanks "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: 1) You need to restart Outlook for that change to take effect. MSN mail will still be delivered to the MSN account's Inbox (that's the way the MSN service works -- it's a cache of your online mailbox, not like a POP account that downloads mail to Outlook and removes it from the server) but other accounts should deliver to your Personal Folders file Inbox. 2) Display the Folder List. Under the MSN account, under Search Folders, right-click the Unread Mail search folder and choose Add to Favorite Folders. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "kung hei" kung wrote in message ... 1.

1. What do I do with two sets of tasks, notes, contacts? I prefer to
have one set, but I do not know how to move them from one folder to the next. I tried moving them within outlook, but an error message said it cannot move them. Try moving them one at a time. If you have a problem, give the exact text of the error message. 2. Can I move all my former folder content to the MSN set then delete the former? Or do I need to keep my original personal folders plus the MSN set. I don't hink you'll need to keep the Personal Folders file if you make the MSN folders the default information store. 3. How do I direct my PDA to the correct set of folders? I tried to sync it but it got confused and has duplicated some items more than once, and it lost the names of about 50 contacts in the MSN contact folder and in my PDA. Consult the documentation for your PDA's synchronization software. Most PDA sync tools connect with the folders in the default information store. 4. I see you are an author on Outlook. I am not a programmer, nor do I want to understand all the capabilities of Outlook. I just want to understand the folder organization enough to set them up properly and sync them with my pda wthout losing data. Can you recommend a book that would address these issues?
