In Outlook 2002 or earlier, what is the Folder List view, and how do I turn it on or off?

In Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier, the Folder List is a hierarchical listing of all the folders in your Exchange account. This list appears on the left side of your Outlook window, and you can turn it on and off. To do this, from the View menu, choose Folder List.

In versions of Outlook and Exchange for Windows, an icon on the Toolbar also allows you to toggle between views that display or hide the Folder List. If you cannot tell which icon is the right one, hold your pointer over an icon for a few seconds until the description appears.

If the Toolbar is missing, you can make it visible. From the View menu, select Toolbar. (In Outlook 2002, you can further select which toolbars to show.)
