In Outlook, all of your items are organized in folders. There are two types of folders available in Outlook: your mailbox folders and public folders. Your mailbox folders are your own folders to which only you (and others you may have granted) have access. To view your Folders, pull down the View menu and select Folder List. Your e-mail messages can be moved to other folders by selecting and dragging them to the appropriate folder. You can create additional folders for better management of your information in Outlook.

Public Folders are for use by faculty and staff to store Outlook information such as notes, contacts, and tasks that can be shared with other people. The Public Folders are similar in function to the filer drive that you currently use to share information with others. Just like the filer drive, you will need permission to have access to a folder.

In the Public Folders is a folder called * Computer Application FAQ’s. This folder contains a number of instruction sheets on how to do things in Outlook as well as other Office products.
