Catherine.
I too don't understand all the different things in the view menu of Outlook.
I had a problem recently when for no apparent reason, my messages went into
alphabetical order. I had about a fortnight's worth going unnoticed, 'cos I
didn't know how to change it back. I believe I have mine set up the way you
want yours.
To get it where you have them all listed as they arrive, and not by
conversation, go into view, assuming you use the arrowas and not a mouse or
anything, arrow right once into current view submenu, as this is at the top
of the list. The top one is messages which needs to be checked to get the
view we like. You can only have 1 in this list checked, and if Jaws doesn't
say checked, hit enter. can't remember if you need to hit enter again to
exit. I don't think you do. To get to the ascending or descending option,
when you're in the current view, keep going till you hear customize current
view. Hit enter, then tab till you get to the sort them field. press
enter, and tab once to the radio buttons of ascending or descending. when
you select what you want, you'll automatically end up back in the list of
fields within the customize list. Hope this makes sense. i'm not the best
at explaining things.

Subject: [access-uk] Sorting, grouping, ascending/descending
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?
