# Outlook Bar

The Outlook Bar, located to the left of the main folder viewer, offers a number of shortcuts to your personal folders, as well as a listing of your private and public folders. The two views available in the Outlook Bar are Navigation Shortcuts and Folder List. By clicking on the tabs at the top and bottom of the Outlook Bar, you can move neatly between the two.

### Navigation Shortcuts

By default, Outlook Web Access displays the Navigation Shortcuts view of the Outlook Bar. Clicking on these icons opens your Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts folders. Other Outlook Bar icons link you to functions for setting user options and for logging off your current Outlook Web Access session.

### Folder List

The Folder List in the Outlook Bar displays the hierarchies of you personal and public folders. You can expand folders as necessary to view sub-folders, or collapse the hierarchy to view only the top-level folders. A plus-sign (+) beside the folder will indicate there are sub-folders nested within. Click on the plus-sign to view the next level in the folder hierarchy.

Click on any folder in the Outlook Bar and its contents will be displayed in the Outlook Web Access viewing panel.

| Tip If you are working in a folder and want to hide the Outlook Bar, such as when you require more viewing room in your browser window, click the Show/Hide Folders button in the main Outlook Web Access toolbar.
