Hi All
I'm loving the new Outlook, however I'm having real difficulty manually sorting my email folders.
Clicking & dragging the folder, only allows me to drop the folder INTO another folder, but doesn't allow me to drop it in between other folders (meaning I cannot re-arrange / sort the folders manually).
Right clicking the folder and clicking "Move", again only allows me to move the folder INTO another folder. There is no "move up or down" option unfortunately.
It is currently sorting my folders in alphabetical order, but I wish to change this. I have been through all the settings and cannot find anywhere I can manually sort my email folders.
Can anyone assist?
Thank you
Thomas

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Echoing other comments, I need this as well. I'm working on several different projects at a time with varying degrees of urgency, so being able to move folders around like this posts describes is a big need of mine right now.
is this fixed yet? I was forced to move to the new outlook and this is the 3rd item that does not function the way it did and you dont know that till you go to do it.
I'm also very disappointed that this issue has not been addressed yet. Also, copying attachments to add to a new email is also not possible!
I too have wasted many hours trying to figure out how to rearrange folders in the "New Outlook." How much longer will "WE" have to wait before Microsoft takes this issue seriously.
Ahahaha...this thread is becoming a joke. Such a simple implementation, and no one at Microsoft cares.
