When you start Microsoft Outlook 2010 for the first time, you’ll notice that among other things, the Navigation Pane is a little different. First, the folders are in a new order. The design goal is to make the most common default folders — Inbox, Drafts,
Buy Windows 7, Sent Items,
Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, and Deleted Items — easy to find while moving the remainder of the folders into an alphabetized group below. You might also notice that the name of your mailbox has changed from “Mailbox - <your name>” to your e-mail address. We made this change to help you distinguish accounts when multiple accounts are configured in Outlook.We modernized the general look of the Navigation Pane. Unnecessary lines, gradients, and headers are gone. Windows-style expand/collapse widgets replace the former widgets. (Click the triangles to see your folders.) We also removed the module headers, such as “Mail,” at the top of the Navigation Pane. Commands not directly related to folder navigation are gone or moved into the ribbon, including: All Mail Items search To search for all of your mail, click the search box,
Office 2010 Professional Key, and then click All Mail Items. Current View buttons These are now in the View tab.
Sharing links These are now on the Calendar ribbon and on the Folder tab.
Unread Mail from Favorites This search folder was not widely used,
Office Pro 2010 Key, so we have removed it from the default set in Favorites. You can add the search folder back to Favorites from the list of search folders. Here’s a general comparison of the Navigation Pane in Outlook 2007 and 2010: Outlook 2007 Outlook 2010 Also, if you have configured multiple accounts in Outlook,
Office 2007 Standard Key, you can drag the Inbox for each account into Favorites.We hope these changes make your Outlook experience faster and more enjoyable. Melissa MacBeth
