Sigh yourself. What do you think a folder structure is, if not a type
of database. Hell, everything is a database.

You are welcome to make any type of assumption about how Outlook works or
should work, but only the definition of the designers will apply.

Yeah, and you Microsoft apologists can make whatever excuses you want
to about the half-baked crap coming out of Redmond.

On my screen, the Outlook folders (that is what Outlook calls them, in
case you are also confused about that) are displayed in a tree
structure, so they ARE a tree structure. They should act like it.

It doesn't matter. Microsoft has alweays been arrogant. Google (or
someone) will do to them what they did to IBM because of their
arrogance. I, for one, will be applauding. You can continue making
excuses for their half-baked, overpriced software. Good luck.
