I classify this as programming-VBA as after quite intensive search on different forums I could find no answer..

I use outlook 2002 SP-2
I have a pst file with structure
folder a subfolder100
subfolder101
subfolder102
subfolder103
subfolder104
…
folder b subfolder100
subfolder101
subfolder102
subfolder103
subfolder104
…
…
folder c subfolder100
subfolder101
subfolder102
subfolder103
subfolder104
…

I sometimes have more than 20 subfolders, and as you can tell, they all have similar (or very similar) subnames

When I scroll down looking for information, to make sure I end up in the right subfolder, I almost always have to first go back up to see the main folder name and then scroll on to the folder/subfolder I am interested into.

Can I somehow color the structure of folder X and all its attached folder in a specific color to make my navigation easier ?
Or maybe there is a way to let the information "folder X" remain available while I scroll the structure ? (a bit like the "freeze panes" function in Excel, but then clever enough to "jump" to always display the appropriate folder X)

Please note that changing the folder/ subfolder names is unfortunately not an option !

Thanks for your help
 
No. Outlook provides no color coding in the folder list. You might consider
using Outlook Bar groups to help you organize this -- the shortcut name can
include whatever you want -- including the parent folder names.
