Thanks, Peter. That's not quite what I'm looking for. I know all about that View Menu and sorting through messages in various ways . . .. (Why do these things have to be so complicated???) <SMILE> Thanks, anyway, Peter for your help. Much appreciated. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 01 October 2004 16:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: ARCHIVING IN OUTLOOK Hi Carol, I think you want to hit alt V to bring down the view menu, then arrow right to find a list of options. I think you want to select. Unread Messages. This will tell Outlook to show only unread messages. Read messages are imediatley hidden when read.

(Perhaps I don't fully understand.) I don't want to permanently delete anything but do want all messages archived and therefore *not* showing in my general Outlook folders. If anyone does this successfully, please tell me what settings you have. Thanks. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
