I am having trouble reorganizing my folders in the NEW Outlook Preview for Windows

I have switched to using the NEW Outlook for Windows. Everything was fine until I tried to reorganize my folders. I want to put them in specific order but when I try to move them I cannot move main folders to a new main position. It will only let me put them into another main folder. I have an order with main folders, sub folders, and sub sub folders, etc. When I switched to the NEW Outlook it alphabetized my folders which put them out of my order. I went to drag them into their proper place but it will only let me put them into other main folders. I cannot seem to figure out how to put main folders in between other main folders. It used to show a little gray box when I was about to insert a folder into another folder and a line when I was going to drag it in between other folders. Now it is only the little box that makes it go into the other folder.

    De Paul,

    As you can see from the multiple comments on this thread, this is still an issue.

    If we as professionals can not use 'New Outlook' in an efficient manor then we wont be using it.

    its been a year since your original reply and it seems nothing has happed to resolve the problem.

    do you have any update on if this problem will be fixed?

    I have also discontinued using the NEW Outlook because I cannot arrange the folders as needed. The other reason is you can't sync your Google/Gmail calendar with the NEW Outlook and have it be up to date or be able to make changes, which will show in your Google/Gmail calendar as well.
