Question

Hi

With Outlook 2007 and earlier I could change the language on default folders (Inbox, Outbox etc) with the switch /resetfoldernames

This is not possible in Outlook 2010

How is this done in Outlook 2010?

Hi,

You can change the language settings in Outlook 2010 from File > Options > Language.

Note: You can change the display language and the help language.

Best Regards,

Sally Tang

Hi Sally

Yes I know but that does not help me. I want to change all the folders language. Because now I have English XP, English Outlook 2010 with English Menus and help, but Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items etc is still in Finnish.

This could be done with earlier version of Outlook

Outlook.exe /resetfoldernames

By default, the names of the default folders will match the language of Outlook. However, if you have been using a different language of Outlook before when these folders were created, you’ll have to reset the folders to match the language of Outlook again by starting Outlook with the /resetfoldernames switch.

Windows 8
Start Screen-> type; outlook.exe /resetfoldernames
As soon as you start typing, a search box will automatically appear.

**Windows Vista and Windows 7 
**Start-> type; outlook.exe /resetfoldernames

**Windows XP and previous 
**Start-> Run; outlook.exe /resetfoldernames

Note the space in the command listed above.
