Do you have more than 20 different folders in Outlook that you use to keep your emails organized? If this is the case you most likely use a couple of these folders more often than others. Rather than scrolling up and down each time you wish to look for a folder or expanding folders (if you nest your folders) to find the folder you need, you can easily add your most frequently accessed folders to the Favorites section in the Outllook Navigation pane.

The how-to below will walk you through the simple process of adding and removing your most frequently used folders to Favorites section in Outlook 2010. Do you have any tips to share? Post them below or visit the forum.
