Reed, Oh, for Pete's sake. I never thought to do that. Sure enough, my iCloud branch was expanded, and once I contracted it, I was able to find the GMail branch, expand it, and select the inbox as the default folder.
Absolutely wonderful, and it solved something that has been bugging me for three years. Much appreciated.

I have 6 e-mail accounts set up in Outlook. 3 of them are Gmail accounts. All 6 of them show up in my selection dialog. When I go into the dialog, I used the left-arrow key to completely collapse my first default account. This helps to remove a lot of folders from the view and helped to see the other accounts. I used a Google search to learn how to do this and did see instructions for Outlook 2007. I'm not sure why your Gmail account wouldn't be there. Good luck with it.

In fact, I do find the browse for default folder button under the Advanced tab, but I only find some of the folders, such as calendar and iCloud. I do not see my Gmail account folder there. Thanks for helping, nonetheless.

Hit Alt-F to go to the File Menu. Go down to Options and hit Enter. I use Control+Tab to move over to the Advanced tab. Now here's where JAWS messes up. Hit your Tab key and JAWS says "Navigation dot dot dot button". Hit your Tab key again and JAWS says, "Reading dot dot dot button". Hit your tab key a third time and JAWS says "Browse dot dot dot button". Hit Enter here and you will land in a StartUp Select Folder dialog. Here's where you can set your startUp folder. Hope this makes sense, Reed -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Sent: February 1, 2017 8:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing default startup folder in MS Outlook Thanks for that question.

I'm trying to have Outlook 2016 go directly to my inbox on a specific email account rather than going to the personal folders in said application. Is there a way to accomplish that?
