What are people doing to affect the sort order of mailboxes in outlook? Apple Mail and MS Outlook similarly suck in that they do not sort '~' correctly -- mailboxes starting with '~' are first instead of last. At least I think this is the fault of the client, since Mulberry sorts correctly.
At least with Apple Mail I can drag and drop mailboxes into any display order I like, so at least after the fact it can be "corrected".
I want to provide shared, virtual and lazy_expunge mailboxes. I'd like these to be last in the list of mailboxes. This doesn't seem possible with Outlook unless I prefix the names with 'zz' or similar. yuk.

Personally, I have always used numbers, the the most important folders utilizing the lowest numbers.
I believe this behavior has been changed in Outlook 2010, which is still in beta. I will check on it later today if time permits.
