Adding Public Folders to Outlook - in Windows
- Go to the lower left corner of the Outlook window and select (click on) the three dot icon.
- A popup will appear. Click on “Folders”
- Notice that “Public Folders” now appears on your list:
- Click on the little triangle to the left of the words “Public Folders”
- Click on the little triangle to the left of the words “All Public Folders”.
- You now see all the folders available that you can choose from.
- By clicking on the little triangles, you can open up folder groups to get to the goodies inside.
- To add a folder to your favorites list, right click on that folder and select “add to Favorites”
- So start adding all the folders you want on your Favorites list. Once that’s done, there’s one final task you need to do.
- Now that you have your list of Favorites, you need to toggle each Favorite so it shows up in your normal Outlook view and it will show up in Outlook Web Access (OWA).
- At the bottom of the Public Folders listing, you’ll see a “Favorites” folder with that familiar little triangle.
- Click on the triangle to display all the folders you’ve added.
- One by one, for each of the folders you’ve added, right click and select “Show in Favorites”.
- When you are done, click on the little mail icon or, in older versions of Outlook, the word “mail”.
- Now you should see your favorites on the top left corner of your screen.
- Remember, these settings will follow you to Outlook Web Access (OWA).

- Click on the folder you wish to add, which will highlight it.
