I am currently running MS Office on a MacBook Air.   My question relates specifically to Outlook.   I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 (Version 14.2.4 (120824)).

I make extensive use of folders to organise my email but in recent months they have become somewhat unpredictable.  

I have two issues that I'd appreciate some guidance with:

1.  The main problem is that I can't rename newly created folders.   It creates the folder without a problem and calls it 'Untitled Folder'.   If I do either a slow double-click or right-click and select 'Rename Folder' it will very briefly look like I can edit it (blue background) but before I can press a single key the background reverts to grey and I can't change it.  On the odd occasion I can get a single letter typed but that's it.   So, I've now got a series of folders that either start with 'Untitled Folder' and then a number, or which have just a single letter as a name, 'B' for example.   This is getting to be really frustrating.   Any ideas?  Solutions?

2.  My second issue, is on a related topic.   If I try and drag an email from my inbox and deposit it to one of the folders it won't actually move it.  If the destination folder is positioned at the top of bottom of the list of folders then it work fine but if it's somewhere in the middle of the list, it just won't work.  The 'Move' button at the top of the screen works fine but this isn't the most efficient option.   Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Stuart
