Non-mail folders—those for tasks, calendar, journal, and contacts—are handled a bit differently than mail folders. Rather than organize folders by placing them in other folders, as you do with mail folders, you use groups. First, the following steps show how to create a non-mail folder:

1. Click the appropriate button in the navigation pane corresponding to where you want to add a new folder—Calendar, Contacts, and so on.
2. Choose Folder from the File menu and then select New Folder from the next menu. Outlook displays the Create New Folder dialog box (Figure 27-31). The folder for the type of item you selected in Step 1—Calendar in the figure, for example—is highlighted in the folder list.
3. Enter the name of the new folder in the Name box.
4. Make sure that the Folder Contains list displays the appropriate type of item for the folder you are creating.
5. Click OK.

Creating a new folder, Tasks, in this case, to hold non-e-mail items.

After you create a non-e-mail folder, it is displayed near the top of the Navigation Pane along with other folders, including the default one, for that type of item. Figure 27-32 shows an example for Tasks after creating two new task folders called Work-related and Personal.

User-created folders for non-e-mail items are displayed along with the default folder in the Navigation Pane.
