Thank you for suggestion. I'm attempting to follow your instructions as specifically as possible, but I'm not winding up in the same place as you, since I cannot locate the setting “In folders than the Inbox” option. Let me explain how I am trying to get there: I am following this path in Outlook 2013: File>Options> and then both >Mail or >Advanced Options, then looking for your suggested “In folders than the Inbox” , but not finding it. I have been through these paths many times, even before your suggestions, looking for some sort of setting which might solve my problems, but not finding it. Your request that I invoke: File >> Options >> E-mail Options >> Advanced E-mail Options does not directly leave me to the "In folders than the Inbox" option. Either this setting is missing from my copy of Outlook 2013, or I am missing something, since I am trying to follow your suggestions very literally.
