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

Bill Gates doesn't want you to know this one simple trick.... lol hell i'm in if it would mean they could implement an incredibly basic function that works already just on a diff UI
What if we each individually started new posts on this subject. They may be ignoring this thread. If all 200 of us posted something like "why is Microsoft ignoring this issue...", it might be seen ha ha.
this is not a solution. our company is forcing us onto nEw OuTlOoK and it keeps frustrating me that my folders, which contain anywhere between 5 - 35 chronological goings ons in my work, this "solution" is not one. so not only are my months out of order, which I can deal with, the events inside those folders are not.
This is pathetic, It's July 2024 and you still haven't updated this functionality from a prior iteration?! Big Tech sucking away company dollars for a pittance.
Its ridiculous that its still not resolved after all this time, hopefully this is recognized soon
