Ok, its me again, NOW What am I doing wrong?
I have Office 2007 installed on my laptop and for some reason, the applications hows the classic menu, not the ribbon menu....but if I open/reply to an email, the ribbon is present in the open message (cuz it comes from Word, I suspect). But the application itself shows the classic menu only and no options to switch.

I've seen addins on the web for switching to "classic" or to view both with an addin, but heck I can't get the classic to go away and GEt the ribbon, which I need to fix my RSS feeds cuz I have too many and if I nuke the folders, they come back.

ARGH!
Help!

I think that it's normal for Outlook to show classic menus - there is no ribbon.

As for the rss feeds, it works like this I think:
you delete your subscriptions by going to: "Tools|Account Settings" and then the "rss feeds" tab. The folders will remain so that you don't lose any existing content. If you delete the folders then (after deleting the subscription), they'll stay deleted. If, as I suspect, you're just deleting the folders but not the subscription, then although you'll lose the cached content, new content will continue to be downloaded, hence your 'nuked' folders "come back".

Hope that helps.
