Step 1: Open Outlook
Launch Outlook 2007. It should look something like this.
Step 2: Open "Options" Window
To open the "Options" window, click on the menu at the top of your screen called "Tools", then click the last option in the list, called "Options".
Step 3: Switch to "Other" Tab
Next we need to switch to the "Other" tab. The tabs can be found at the top part of the "Options" window.
Step 4: Open the "Advanced Options" Window
Now we need to open the "Advanced Options" window. This can be done by clicking the "Advanced Options" button towards the top of the "Options" window while on the "Other" tab.
Step 5: Browse & Choose a Default Folder
Finally, we get to the right place! Click on the "Browse" button towards the top part of the "Advanced Options" window, which will show all of the Folders we can choose From.
Step 6: Final Step
Once you've selected your desired default folder from the previous step, click OK on each of the windows until you've reached the main Outlook 2007 window.
To test it out, CLOSE Outlook, wait 2 - 5 seconds and RE-LAUNCH Outlook. If it worked correctly, you will be taken to the mail folder that you chose in the previous step.
If that worked, THUMBS UP!!!! Have a fun time using Outlook 2007 with one less annoyance. =)
