If you use group policy you can disable the RSS ability - but you'll need to
make a new PST if you don't want the RSS folders, you can't delete the
folder. Download the outlook adm file from the ORK.

If you don't want to see the nav pane, turn it off. Click View and uncheck
"Navigation Pane".

The RSS folder takes up 1 line so its not wasting much space - other things
(like large buttons in the nav pane) waste a lot more.

I have to regularly re-prioritize MY folders to keep the "Top 20" visible.
I routinely archive old client folders, which means if I need to find
anything I have to open the archive PSTs.
Beside the RSS Feeds, I still have the Search folders visible because
Microsoft thinks I should have them. I don't need those search parameters
anyway, precisely because I have a properly organized folder system.
I somehow managed to get rid of RSS Feeds on my WinXP PC, but I just
installed Office 2007 on my Vista laptop and the folder is there, immovable.
How come I could remove it before, but not now?

See http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2008/up080911.htm#1 to remove rss.

Actually, if you were running a business like I am, you'd want to be able to
access all of the correspondence with your client in a single location,
without having to take the time to enter search criteria when you're on the
phone with the client.
What I should and shouldn't do with Outlook is not an MVP's place to say.
I do use Search if I'm trying to find that obscure one-of-a-kind message
that referenced a web site several months ago, or the long e-mail from Aunt
Tillie where she gave me her recipe for goulash. But not when I'm dealing
with clients; it has to be faster than that.
And oh BTW, a data base does exactly the same thing a filing cabinet does.
But Outlook isn't Access either.

That's an odd way to do business. When I'm talking to a client about a
specific issue, I prefer to have all correspondence regarding that issue
in front of me, looking at the inquiry the client sent me last year is
probably a waste of time, looking at what action I'm taking on the
inquiry they made this morning is far more likely to be useful to the
current conversation.
>What I should and shouldn't do with Outlook is not an MVP's place to say.
Indeed, but once in a while, you may learn a tip or trick that will
improve your productivity.

No, it really doesn't. The key difference is that a filing cabinet can
only be ordered, sorted (and filtered, by virtue of the sort order) in
one way, any other method requires manual intervention.
A database doesn't have that limitation, any indexed field can be used
as the filter key. In the context of email, there is no right answer,
sometimes you're looking for past correspondence from the customer on
the phone, sometimes you're looking for all activities regarding a
specific request (which may involve internal communication, or other
vendors as well)
This is where the concept of search *folders* really shine, you don't
need to choose, or to manually file items, you can let the computer do
the work for you.
That being said, Outlook isn't a particularly strong implementation,
something like Goldmine really shows off how useful this can be.
Once a search folder is created, you don't need to do anything but look in
it. I can find things faster using search (and occasionally instant search)
than many people who file messages in dozens of folders. Then there are the
ones who forget where they made a folder and can only find the contents by
searching...
