The Favorites Bar — the strip under the toolbar — can be customized to display shortcuts to your favorite views. You can add shortcuts to almost anything in the folder list including mail folders, saved searches, newsgroups, address books, or the To Do List.
 

To add a folder to the Favorites Bar.

1. In the folder list, locate the folder that you want to add to the Favorites Bar.
2. Drag the folder to the Favorites Bar.
3. Option: Right-click or Control-click on the item's icon and select Add to Favorites Bar.
   

Tips
    •    To remove a shortcut, drag the shortcut name off the Favorites Bar. Dragging the name off the Favorites Bar removes only the shortcut, not the original folder.
    •    To hide the favorites bar, click Mail, and then on the View menu, click Hide Favorites Bar.
    •    Root folders, such as On My Computer, cannot be added to the Favorites Bar.
