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

Can we PLEASE get an update. Users are DESPERATE for better functionality which will improve higher acceptance of the new format.
Feels like we're just screaming into the abyss here Microsoft.
Thats what i'm thinking. The folder structure has been changed on the MS webmail for quiet a while. It is obviously super inconvenient to be stuck with 6 obsolete folders at the top of the list, but it seems the topic just doesnt bother enough people which makes it convenient to ignore.
How has it been over a year and Microsoft has not been able to fix something so simple yet so crucial?!
This is typical Microsoft, create a new version of a product and not include all the features which make the product usable.
The ability for the user to sort files in any order desired is a basic feature and not some new thought or concept. This is a reason why Microsoft is one of the most used products on the planet and one of the most hated companies as well. Microsoft has a general disregard for its users and their abilities. Microsoft continually forgets their products are just tools, like a screwdriver.
Peace,
John
