How to delete the RSS Feeds folder in Outlook
I have a new computer with Outlook 2007. Being newly retired I am doing all my own computer setting up. Half the battle seems to be getting rid of all the garbage they download that clutters up your computer. I am trying to get totally rid of the RSS feeds which I simply don't want, but the option to delete the folder is greyed out. Do I just have to live with this pollution?

outlookmvpWhy am I stuck with the RSS Feeds folder? I don't use it and don't like losing all that room to the folders I don't need, like Junk Mail, Journal and Notes. Now I am saddled with one MORE useless folder. I already lose WAY too much viewing space from the Folder List, All Folders, and All Outlook Items bars above my folders, as well as the block below the folder list (I think Microsoft calls it a Navigation Pane, I call it a Pain that takes up useful real screen estate). In fact, the newer the Outlook, the harder it is for me to make it useful and readable. The first time I opened Outlook 2007, I wondered how I was supposed to be able to see anything in my Inbox. All the computer makers now have the resolution set to microscopic because there is no other way to see everything in newer software windows. Apparently all the software companies think the entire Windows world has lots of money to go out and buy 20" or larger monitors.

SeanTnTMy laptop has a 12.1" screen and I don't have a problem seeing my folders. Did you slide the navigation buttons down? http://www.xsolive.com/Outlook%20Screen%20shots/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=31 If you use group policy you can disable the RSS ability - but you'll need to make a new PST if you don't want the RSS folders, you can't delete the folder.

tillman1952Amen, what a complete waste of my precious screen space... I can't believe this stuff clutters my personal folders... obviously Diane, you organize your Outlook differently than Sean TnT and the default (could do without people questioning that people really have the problem they are describing). I can't see all of my storage email folders because of all these useless default folders I don't use and can't hide... why not let me hide them?

Froggeryou need to apply group policy before the pst is created to prevent their creation. The RSS folder takes up 1 line so its not wasting much space - other things (like large buttons in the nav pane) waste a lot more. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I have 33 folders in Mail, for each of my business projects. I have to hide 11 of them to keep from constantly scrolling up and down the Navigation Pain (spelling intentional). I've already hidden all the useless button bars (they duplicate the smaller versions at the bottom of the Pain). I've already turned off the Favorite Folders (I use them all; none are "Favorites"). I've already cancelled my subscription to a third-party junk mail solution so I could get rid of their folder since Microsoft forced a second folder on me for their packaged junk mail handler. I have to regularly re-prioritize MY folders to keep the "Top 20" visible. I routinely archive old client folders, which means if I need to find anything I have to open the archive PSTs. Beside the RSS Feeds, I still have the Search folders visible because Microsoft thinks I should have them. I don't need those search parameters anyway, precisely because I have a properly organized folder system. I somehow managed to get rid of RSS Feeds on my WinXP PC, but I just installed Office 2007 on my Vista laptop and the folder is there, immovable. How come I could remove it before, but not now? Loretta Yeo
LorettaYeoActually, if you used search folders, you wouldn't need so many folders. Outlook is not a file cabinet and shouldn't be organized as such - it’s a database.

Actually, if you were running a business like I am, you'd want to be able to access all of the correspondence with your client in a single location, without having to take the time to enter search criteria when you're on the phone with the client. What I should and shouldn't do with Outlook is not an MVP's place to say. I do use Search if I'm trying to find that obscure one-of-a-kind message that referenced a web site several months ago, or the long e-mail from Aunt Tillie where she gave me her recipe for goulash. But not when I'm dealing with clients; it has to be faster than that. And oh BTW, a data base does exactly the same thing a filing cabinet does. But Outlook isn't Access either.

That's an odd way to do business. When I'm talking to a client about a specific issue, I prefer to have all correspondence regarding that issue in front of me, looking at the inquiry the client sent me last year is probably a waste of time, looking at what action I'm taking on the inquiry they made this morning is far more likely to be useful to the current conversation. >What I should and shouldn't do with Outlook is not an MVP's place to say. Indeed, but once in a while, you may learn a tip or trick that will improve your productivity. >I do use Search if I'm trying to find that obscure one-of-a-kind message >that referenced a web site several months ago, or the long e-mail from Aunt >Tillie where she gave me her recipe for goulash.

The key difference is that a filing cabinet can only be ordered, sorted (and filtered, by virtue of the sort order) in one way, any other method requires manual intervention. A database doesn't have that limitation, any indexed field can be used as the filter key. In the context of email, there is no right answer, sometimes you're looking for past correspondence from the customer on the phone, sometimes you're looking for all activities regarding a specific request (which may involve internal communication, or other vendors as well) This is where the concept of search *folders* really shine, you don't need to choose, or to manually file items, you can let the computer do the work for you. That being said, Outlook isn't a particularly strong implementation, something like Goldmine really shows off how useful this can be.
spam_narf_spamWell, I *DO* run a successful business and I use Outlook and search folders (and instant search). My "job" as an MVP is to help people work smarter, not harder, and to make the most of the software. Once a search folder is created, you don't need to do anything but look in it. I can find things faster using search (and occasionally instant search) than many people who file messages in dozens of folders. Then there are the ones who forget where they made a folder and can only find the contents by searching... -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I can not delete a duplicate personal folders list #2
Vall... amazing that there isn't an easy fix for this. The instructions provided simply don't work ( tools-email accounts-view change email accounts-deliver to new account-finish-close outlook and reopen ), and none of the other offered explanations have worked either. As this is such a common problem; why hasn't microsoft provided a very EASY fix? I am more confused ( and frightened ) and don't want to make the problem worse!

Retrieval of Deleted Items After Being Deleted from the Deleted Items File
I deleted a number of important emails from the deleted items file in Outlook 2000. This may sound stupid, but I completely emptied the deleted items file instead of deleting them one by one. Pretty stupid, huh. Anyone. Can they be retrieved? Please help. Thanks. Sorry for sending this again but I seem to be computer illiterate and it has taken me some time to explain the whole situation. Thanks again. unless you use Exchange server with deleted retention enabled, you are most likely out of luck, but you can try something that might help.... http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/r...
Missing Inbox, Folders & Address Book
I recently had to have a new hard drive installed. all of my old data was placed on the new hard drive in a folder called OldData. When I bought the PC, it came with Microsoft Office XP preinstalled. But I was not able to find the disks, so I aquired and installed microsoft Office XP 2003. I have two problems: 1) I don't know where to look to find my old inbox, folders, Address Book and anything else associated with my old Outlook environment. I also need to find my wife's data as well. She uses a separate identity. 2) Once I know where it is, I need to find out where to put it in o...

Automatically send email message when folder contents have changed.
Hoping someone can help. We have a UNIX server on our network and an Exchange 2003 server. Ideally we would like to have the Exchange server send an email to a group of users when a new file gets added to a shared folder on the UNIX box. The UNIX box is running VisionFS and we can see the shared folder in our Windows environment. Ideally I would like to have the Exchange server send a message without having to dedicate a PC running Outlook and a plug-in to the task but will do so if necessary. Any thoughts would be appreciated... Script it, schedule it to run on any member server (good i...

deleting email in outlook, freezes before i can delete

Hi All, I want to re-raise the old issue of Fax numbers showing up in the Outlook Address book when one is sending an email. I know that this can be stopped by prepending the Contact's fax number with a letter so that Outlook doesn't see it as a valid fax number and therefore doesn't list it.

Cannot delete subreport
I am using Access 2003 and have a report I did a while back with a simple subreport. I want to remove the subreport but for the life of me can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hi - When you say "remove the sub report", what do you mean?

Can anyone tell me how to add the newsreader button to the go menu in outlook 2003.

Rule for Deleted Items
I am being told that there is a rule in place on my Exchange server that will not empty the deleted items folder every 30 days for certain users in my organization. I found a recipient policy in System Manager that says "Users Excluded from Mailbox Cleanup" but it only shows 2 users and not the 3 I was told about.
