Creating Favorite Folders in Outlook
Updated onArticleThe Favorites section of Outlook, located at the top of the Navigation Panel, contains shortcuts to folders such as your Inbox, Sent Items, and Search Folders. You can add, remove, and arrange folders in this section in order to access your mail folders more easily.
When a folder is added to Favorites, a shortcut is created; however, the folder and its contents remain at their original location in the folder list. Removing a folder from Favorites does not delete the folder or the contents - it removes only the shortcut that appears in Favorites.
