I am using Microsoft Exchange Server for my email and Outlook 2003. I
have one .pst file showing up with my name at the root, and it
contains all of my current email (Inbos, Sent Items, Deleted Items,
Drafts, Outbox). I have another folder called "2006" that ties to a
file on my local computer called"2006.pst". This folder is not
contained in an "archive folders" or "personal folders".

I am trying to create another folder that shows up at the same level
(not within an "archive folder" or "personal folder"). Every time I
try to create a new folder, it winds up inside "Archived Folders".

How can I get this new folder to show up at a higer level, like the
2006 folder?

Thanks,

I believe you will find that '2006' is simply the name for the 2006 personal
folders (pst)
or it could be that 2006 is an archive of 2006 data
Create a new data file & name it as you wish, eg 2007, if thats what you
want

And to create a new Outlook data file, use the File | New | Outlook Data File command.

Sue, I tried that and the added folder (from the creation of the
outlook data file) appears in the "Archived Folders" folder. I am
trying to understand how my folder "2006" stands at the same level in
the hierarchy as the "Archived Folders" folder, and then I want to do
it with new folders.

I think I got it. Duringthe Data File creation, there is a field where
I can enter the folder name, and I just give it the same name ("2007"
for example). That works!

Thanks, but that doesn't work. The new folder from the file (I have
one called 2007.pst) shows up in Outlook under the root folder
"Archive Folders". I want to get it to the same level in the folder
hierarchy as "Archive Folders".
