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

Please get this added ASAP as new Outlook is unusable without it.
We cannot use it in my organisation until this is resolved.
This is what happens when IT does the SOFT launch (aka Preview or Agile MVP).
Minimum Viable Product is so minimal. ...
Think about how many times we all lose productivity, because some marketing department decided they needed to change things to justify their existence. It's like we are part of their experiment or unwanted survey.
It's bad enough when they change the entire ribbon on some of these apps .. hours lost, but in the past at least it seemed like the basic smart stuff was in the release, you just had to figure out where they put the setup for it.
6 months you guys have been on this. So far work hasn't switched us to it.
Another thing I hate and I'm sure its to make the desktop version so mobile friendly, but the new outlook, everything is too big. The calendar preview on the right could be about 4 font sizes smaller for the desktop browsers.
Well I'll believe this change when I see it. Even if they took the drag off the main interface and had it in a tree option setup like we have to do to Word/Excel to get it tweaked like we like it.
.... Keep this thread alive until it's fixed.

When will this update come? Simple thing, but greatly needed
Seconded.
Adding to Favorites also doesn't show the subfolders of the folder you added to Favorites.
If you add the subfolder to Favorites it just creates a new Favorite and doesn't 'sub-folder' it. Which makes sense in a way.
I wanted to point out however that Favorites doesn't work for ordering if you're using sub-folders as well.
