Favourite folders in Outlook allow you quick and easy access to folders that you frequent. You can add them by following these simple steps.

1. Open outlook, under public folders, navigate to the folder that you would like to add as a favourite.

2. When you have selected the folder you like, simply right click it and choose "Add to Favourites..."

3. In the subsequent dialog box, you can choose to name your favourites folder differently from how it appears in the public folder (the name of the actual public folder stays the same, the new name is for your personal convenience). You may pick a familiar name or keep the same name as it appears in the public folder directory. Once you've customized the name, click "Add." Note: below we have made the favourite folder name "NameYouChoose" while the Public Folder's actual name is "Test Public Folder."

4. Now your folder will appear in the "Favourites" dropdown under the "Public Folders" section.

5. These steps will place the folder you have selected in the favourites section under "Public Folders," which is a little bit more accessible, but you can make your public folder even easier to get to if you follow the next few steps. The next steps, when completed, will put your public folder under the main favourites bar near your inbox.

6. Right click on your folder which should now be under "Favourites" in "Public Folders," Select "Show in Favourites."

5. This will make your folder visible in your main Favourites menu. Check to make sure the process worked by navigating to the bottom left of the screen and selecting "Mail."

6. Now you will see your folder here, where it is circuled in red below.
