Hello,

I wonder if anyone can explain something to me I've never understood.

The way I have Outlook 2000 set up, at the top of the inbox come the most
recent e-mails.  I arrow down and JAWS says "Conversation: Hello or whatever
the subject is".  Within those conversation groups, the most recent e-mail
is at the bottom.  I hope that makes sense - as you'll see below I don't
understand it!

I have several questions.  I like having the most recent e-mails within a
conversation at the bottom, but really I'd like the whole thing with the
most recent e-mails (the whole load of e-mails in the inbox, not just within
each conversation, if that makes sense).  How do I do this?

The other thing is, although most e-mails seem to get sorted/grouped in the
way I describe above, some which are very recent seem to get put at the
bottom.
I
 don't really understand how to set Outlook up so I have it the way I want
it.  I don't know whether to choose ascending or descending, and I don't
know the difference between sorting and grouping.  There seem to be millions
of ways of customising it in Outlook and I can't imagine that they're
necessary.  I thought I had it the way I want it but every now and then
someone says they've sent me an e-mail and I don't notice it, because it's
been put at the bottom and I assume it will be near the top (and I have
e-mails in between which I just keep for info, so I never get to the bottom
cos I think all below a certain point are just for info).  Then someone says
about an e-mail they've sent me and I find it at the bottom even though it's
recent.

Can anyone explain to me?
