Vista - Folder Alphabetization

Folder Alphabetization

Does anyone know how to aphabetize sub folders? There is no Up/Down in the
right click menu like there is for the main folders. Obviously, I would like
them to remain aphabetized upon opening and closing Windows Live Mail.

Without alphabetization, you end up with a hodge podge of sub folders. I
have a very long list of sub folders and trying to find the sub folder I'm
want to store a message in is a waste of my time.

Re: Folder Alphabetization

I need to understand your interpretation of sub-folders.
Let say, I have 3 e-mail accounts. Under each account I have about 20 names
under In-box.
Which ones do you consider as my sub-folders ?
If you are referring to the names, they are arranged alphabetically by
itself.
Your header does not tell me which e-mail program you are using.
I use Windows Mail/ Windows Live Mail.

Re: Folder Alphabetization

It's Windows Live Mail. Sub Folders are folders I have created in my email
account to store emails I need to save.

Re: Folder Alphabetization

I think you'll find that user-defined folders *are* sorted
alphabetically, but after the system folders Inbox, Drafts, Sent
items, Junk e-mail and Deleted items in that order. Are you seeing
something different?

Re: Folder Alphabetization

THAT is why I do not understand. Like I said earlier, folders we created ARE
arranged alphabetically BY THE SYSTEM.
