    I have just started using Windows 7 from a long time with Mac, anyway I have a question about outlook 2007
    I have my mobileMe email set up in outlook and it also shows all the sub folders which is great the problem is when new mail arrives it goes to the mobileme inbox which is halfway down the subfolders list. What I want to do is have all my mobileme new email arrive in the outlook 2007 inbox not the mobileme inbox .................. How do I do that???

    To have that done, you'll need to setup a rule that copies your new incoming mail from the "mobileme" inbox into the "personal folders" inbox. This is an inelegant solution. The "personal folders inbox was originally meant to be used by POP3 mail accounts.

    A better solution is to use the Favorite folders area pane. If all your unread mail automatically is sent to a single inbox under mobileme, then add that inbox to your favorite folder pane.

    If you are like me, and messages get sorted automatically into different folders, you'll need a customized solution. You can make customized folder views using "Search Folders." Think of it like a database query.

    It'll move to the deleted items folder when you hit "Send/Recieve."

    The reason why it shows the line through is so you can tell what will be changed on the E-Mail server when it Send/Recieve's new mail. :)

    Yeah, Outlook is a blast with an Exchange account.
