Yes, I'm sorry - I did type the question in a box at one point, so
I'm not sure how it "disappeared." I would like to use Outlook 2003,
but I'm disappointed at how few folders can be seen in the one
column. Is there an option to expand the Shortcuts pane to two
columns? Or, even better, to open the Shortcut navigation pane in
its own window?

Why not just use the Folder List view and then you can see everything all at
once in a scrollable pane?

is there
a way to speed up the opening of the main folder when you drag a
message to be dropped in a subfolder? It takes about 2 seconds to
open...

I don't experience any hesitation like that, so I can't make any suggestion
in reference to it. Sorry.
