Windows Mail (in Vista) vs Outlook Express 6 (in XP)

I really miss Outlook Bar in Windows Mail that I used in Outlook Express 6?
Is there any plug-in for WM which could add this feature?

I never used the Outlook bar ever, I use the folder bar and click the
currently open folder name to show my folders, in Vista the Folder list is
the equivalent of the Outlook bar.

They simply take up to much screen space for me to have enabled.

Yes, not that I know of...in answer to "Is there any plug-in for WM which could add this feature?"

It's been discussed before and the actual Outlook bar disappeared with the advent of WM.

Re: Windows Mail (in Vista) vs Outlook Express 6 (in XP)

mac,

I've got kinda complicated structure of folders (about 310 or something) and
rules in Outlook, so sometimes it's really useful to have most often updated
folders in a separate bar. That's why I'm asking about such feature. Anyone
else can help? Maybe I could address my request to Micrisoft somehow?

Thanks to everybody.

Could I find this topic anywhere?
Because as I said it was useful feature, which didn't take much from
system's resources.

Look here:

plenty of hits, and a few others, but sorry to say, that feature really is
dead.

I have a large list of folders that are also serviced by message rules, the
most often used folders are named alphabetically, in a way that sits them at
the top of the folder list, for instance, I get loads of personal mail from
a mate called Joe Hess, so his incoming folder is named "A Hess In" and so
on.
YMMV?

Re: Windows Mail (in Vista) vs Outlook Express 6 (in XP)

yeah, I use this small trick too, but if there was an outlook bar it could be
much more convenient. Anyway, thanks for Your support, I really appreciate it.
