Guys,

I have the exact same problem, It says I have reached the limit for custom folders. So frustrating. How can I change this?
 
Split from this thread.

Outlook/Hotmail showed this instant messaging: "You have reached the maximum number of custom folders". I have in my email account: 125 folders.

I need a little more.

Please I need some help.

Thanks

I recently tried using Outlook.com on my linux desktop via IMAP in Thunderbird. The account created without issues, however I am experiencing several problems:

1) I keep receiving messages that the server is down or not responding.
2) I cannot see all my folders. Actually I cannot see any of my custom folders I made in the web interface. I see only This problem does not appear in Geary which can see all my custom folders.

I have Thunderbird 24.1 with default settings.

I would really appeciate any reply. Thanks!

Hello

        I have  suggested     earlier   and want  to   point out why  there is no  Folders tab  in the  left pane it should  display all default  folders  the custom folders  and  the   size of the  folders   listed   .

Will the  Cut Copy Paste buttons  appear  in   Outlook.om

 

Thank You

I currently have 8 Top Level Folders.  I am trying to add a subfolder to one of the Top Level folders.  I receive a message that I have reached the limit of custom folders.

 

As an organized individual, having one big IN BOX is not efficient nor an option. 

 

Is this a BUG or a limit?  If it is a limit (and sure hope not - I just converted all of my email to OUTLOOK.COM and advised my contacts).?

 

If so, can MS provide us with what the limits are, and if they can be removed?

 

So far, we've had various statements about the maximum number of TOP LEVEL FOLDERS.  I have 8.  I am getting this error.

 

This is a MAJOR BUG OR LIMITATION. 

 

Can someone from the product team please make a statement. 

 

We don't need yet another person saying "I will be pleased to help you" and unfortunately not offering any benefit.  Can someone who knows the code and the software that supports OUTLOOK.COM PLEASE make a statement. 

 

This is using the WEB interface.

 

Microsoft?

Is it possible to change the order that custom folders are displayed in. It seems that new folders are displayed in the order they are created. I would like to move two top-level folders so that they appear directly after (not nested inside) the inbox, and then move the folders I don't use very often (like Junk) to the bottom of the list. If I can't move the default folders, I would at least like to group all of the similar custom folders next to (not nested within) each other.

Dragging a folder to a new location gives me the option to move the folder inside or within another folder, but not to move to below that folder.

Dragging a folder to the top-level "Folders" folder provides an option to "Move to Base" but this does not change the order the folder appears in.

A potential work-around would be to rename the foldders with numbers, but Outlook.com doesn't sort folders alphabetically.

--Note, I posted this as a reply to another form discussion on managing folders, but thought that it was different enough to merit its own topic, and couldn't find a way to move the original reply .

Hello,

It seems that many have suffered this issue and it has not been properly addressed in any thread by Microsoft staff.  Since it was advised that those of us experiencing such issues start a personal thread, here I am.

Problem: Old emails prior to 2011 in my Inbox suddenly disappeared...possibly due to the hotmail>outlook transition.

Facts: I sign into my hotmail account everyday | I did not accidentally delete them | I have attempted to restore from my deletion folder to no avail | I do not have Sweep automation with any email addresses | Any emails older than 2011 only appears in custom folders or quickview folders

Any help would be appreciated in retrieving missing emails.

Thanks,

Justin

On my Iphone 4.  My emails that are in my custom folders are not showing up.  Neither are any older emails.  When I sign into my account via a computer everything is there and working.  Any help would be great
