Hello MFPA, This is what you said on Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:29:09 +0100 your time:
> Mine are all outside of the inbox. Seems that the outsiders are in the majority :-) > Well, if it works for her and does what she wants it to... Yeah, very true! Who am I to meddle... > When I first got a PC and used Outlook Express, my folders were all > outside the inbox. It would not have occurred to me to put them inside the > Inbox, even though I nested some of my folders inside other related ones. Me neither. > It would also not have occurred to me to look for a guide to tell me how > to organise my folders (-; She's a little bit OCD, so it doesn't surprise me at all. > I recently worked with somebody who created folders within the inbox in > Outlook. The rest of us who shared that computer would always move them > out for her and put them with the rest of the folders. This was not just > me, as sometimes I would decide I was moving it later, then find it > already moved the next time I looked at Outlook. You just can't help some people ;-) > [...] meaning the messagebase files are accessed for a very large number > of read/write operations, which increases the possibility of the > messagebase becoming corrupted. That's what was crossing my mind... > A sub-folder within the Inbox is still a distinct folder with its own > messagebase files, so should still guard against this eventuality - IMHO. ...but I didn't think of that obvious answer! And of course, you must be correct. > Same here. In fact, all my inboxes contain zero messages Yup, exactly the same here. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #24383.
