Help With Outlook

Just had to format and reinstall Vista.

Just installed outlook 2007 and created an account so i can get my AOL emails throuhg it, but instead of the emails coming through the Personal folders its got a seprate folder and i cant change it. I used to be just one folder. Its making me not recieve and manage them right.

If you'd configured it as a POP3 account, Outlook would be delivering the messages to your personal folders instead. It's down to the two email protocols working differently.
