You can create and manage favorite folders to keep your frequently used folders easily accessible.
Let's walk through the steps:
1. Adding Favorite Folders
- Right-click on the "Favorites" section in the folder pane (located at the top).
- Select "Add favorite"
- Search for the folder, person, or category you want to add. You can also choose from the suggested list.
- By default, the new favorite is added to the bottom of the list.
- To rearrange the order, simply drag and drop the name to the desired position.
2. Removing Favorite Folders
- Right-click on the name of the item you want to remove from the list.
- Select "Remove from Favorites".
- Important: Removing a folder or item from Favorites doesn't delete it; it only removes the shortcut. The original folder in the folder list remains intact.
3. Reordering Folders.
- To rearrange the folders in the folder pane, **drag** the folder to a new location in the folder list.
- Note that **Search Folders** cannot be moved and are always the last set of folders for an account.
- Additionally, you can add folders to the **Favorites** section, which appears at the top of the Folder Pane.
Remember to **remove folders from Favorites** instead of deleting them. When you remove a folder from Favorites, the original folder in the folder list remains unaffected.
