Can someone advise if it is posible to map a folder from the outlook inbox tree on to a Network or harddisk drive, so if you move a mail to a folder it saves this in the "external" folder
using outlook 97 with win NT

I don't think so, but if you click on View on the menu, then "Show Outlook Bar", you can right-click the Outlook Bar and select Outlook Bar Shortcut. When the Add to Outlook Bar box comes up, change the Look In dropdown to File System and you can then make a shortcut to any drive, and drang and drop messages there.

I have already looked at this and I only have "outlook" as a option in the "look in" drop down menu

I do not know any way to attach the folder to the outlook bar.
What I do to get around this - I have a folder on my desktop and drag messages from my inbox (or whatever folder the messages are in) to that folder on my desktop where it will save a copy in the folder on my harddisk or network drive.

Hi,
SyscoKid give the correct answer.
I use the same enviroment, WinNT with Outlook 97 and for me worked.
Maybe you need some updates/patches:
-SR1patch and SR2patch
-also other usefully patches like: preview pane, rules wizard, etc.(check microsoft site)
Maybe NT service pack 6a...
