Changing the Inbox Name!!

[Mark]

Hello,
As you will probably tell, i'm new to outlook, etc.

I've just managed to set up a new email address in outlook 2007, but whilst
all my test emails go to a folder marker 'inbox' how can i change the name to
state a specific name?

I can create sub-folders which do this, but i would like a general folder
name which when dropped down would include folders such as inbox, etc.

Not sure if i'm making this particularly clear, but can anybody help me here?

Regards,

Mark

You can't change the name of the Inbox - nor the names of any other default
folders.

You cannot change the names of the default Outlook folders.

You cannot change the default names. However, why do you want
to? I ask because, maybe there is another option/solution that may
suit your needs.
