Thanks again S-T.. but I can assure you that in my versions of 2003 & 2007 it was automatic that all incoming/semt/draft/deleted mails were in single In ans Sent folders under 'Favorites'. Can send you a screen shot.

I have now been able to partly achieve this for each mail account in OutLook 2010 by clicking 'Show in favorites' for Inbox and Sent....... but it's still a PIGS EAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But this is such apity ... danged MS, they change instead of just improving software.. should keep same programmers on development so that they know from where the software has grown/developed.

I would be very pleased to have a direct email contact with u if poss. crjm@talktalk.net...
