Hi George. I am very interested in this concept but cannot say I fulley understand it. could you explain just a little more or slightly differently. Now I have written message rules so that all my Access files go to one folder and then all my Talks to another etc and using keyboard commands I can cycle through the new messages. However I would not mind employing your method if I knew how to do it. Is it possible in Outlook Express 6 though? that is the question.

"Unread Mail" is actually what is known as a "Search Folder". It's not actually a folder per say, just a way of listing messages which you have not read. You can re-arrange this "Unread Mail" to display messages by Folder, which can be a very efficient and time saving way of dealing with incoming mail. It then will basically group messages by whatever folders you have set up. So for example, in my case I see all the unread Access-UK unread messages grouped together and deal with them as and when I want to. George.

Can someone help me please? My emails are all message-ruled and instead of coming into my inbox they seem to be going into something called unread mail but the grouped emails seem to be going into their appropriate folders and I can send email okay. I am using Outlook 2007. Mandy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Internal Virus Database is out of date.
