I have been trying to do various things on my e-mail and have made a mess of it as I don't really know what I am doing to be honest.
Anyway the bit on the e-mails that says inbox outbox etc on the left hand side has gone, I did something don't know what but its gone, can anyone tell me how to get it back again please?

Are you using Outlook on Vista? If it is outlook try the following:

On the toolbar at the top click on : View

Then when the drop down menu appears click on : Folder List

Hope it works.

Hi Michelle,

I am not sure, I think its vista but it does look just like my old e-mail on outlook. When I try to change anythig though its Vista.

Betty

Hi Michelle,

Did what you suggested but Folder list option in dropdown menu only lets you view it, it doesn't stay on the e-mail as I had before..

Betty

I have Vista - It is a B********** PAIN !!

Anyway, try this:

Click on view, click on layout from drop down list, then put a tick in the 'folder list box'

Sorry, have to go and cook tea but if this doesn't work I will be back later and try to help if I can.

Hi Dea,

ME TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I spend so much time trying to work out solutions for the problems it causes - I still can't work out how to download things from Ancestry - It insists on saving them to temporary files and won't tell me where it puts them. - I have no choice in the matter !!

I have now 'sort of' worked out where they go but can't move them or send them to people or save them in another format.

Never mind - I will find another way one day.

P.S. I LOVED my XP too !!

Hello again

Glad you got it sorted. I'm working on Vista but have got outlook loaded for my emails. I must admit I haven't really had a good look at Vista, avoiding it and just getting on with the basics, but I prefer XP as well.

Dea, I have trouble finding files as well!!
