I just got Vista Home Premium on a new Dell machine. I've been using
Outlook Express since Win95, and my favorite feature is the Outlook Bar.
That's the feature where you can place an iconic folder for any of your
mail folders, that would otherwise be identified by it's text name.

Any way to do this in Windows Mail?

Thanks.

You sure you're not talking about Outlook (which is different from Outlook
Express)?
I don't remember such a bar in Outlook Express, though maybe I just missed
it.
Outlook is part of Office. If you want Outlook, you have to install Office,
which means buying it if you don't already have Office installation disks.

Outlook Express does have that feature.

Nope. I'm talking about Outlook Express. It has the feature. Outlook
Express has it too (I use it at work), but I much prefer OE at home.
