Yes. I didn't realize when I wrote this message that the space at issue was part of the search term, not the folder name as it is being created. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Farfar Carlson Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 2:53 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Bulk] RE: easier navigation to folders in Outlook Express Adrian, Correction...A space is a valid character in a folder name. However if you're typing J A W S spacebar F O L D E R, you will not get past the space. The search by typing one or more characters stops when a space is encountered and gives you the first valid result.

The old folder name disappears, and the messages stay in place under the new folder name. Second, although you and Dave Carlson have found that a space isn't accepted in a folder name, for me it is. I'm using Outlook 2003. But if your system won't accept spaces, Dave's underscore idea accomplishes much the same purpose. Personally, I'd use a character that doesn't require the shift key, such as a hyphen. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas Richard Dexheimer Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 10:26 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: easier navigation to folders in Outlook Express The space is used for separating words in the folder title containing two or more words. I use the same keystroke, shift+control+v when outside a message to move the highlighted message to a different folder. Pressing spacebar in this action only causes a ding, and the display stays where it was after pressing the last character before the space. The same thing happens when moving via the file menu from inside a message. I guess renaming a folder, then moving messages to the renamed folder, would be the only time saver as opposed to pressing the first letter or down arrow key a random number of times to move the selected message to another appropriate folder.

Which method do you use for moving messages from folder to folder? I use shift-control-v when outside the message and a file menu method when inside a message. In either case, a space wouldn't even come up as part of the operation. Meanwhile, have you considered renaming the folders? I believe placing F2 at the folder name in the folders list would make this a simple task. When you press F2, an edit field appears. Type in the new name, press enter, and it should be done. To suggest an example, I have a folder I've named "JAWS Future." If I had as many JAWS folders as you, I'd probably switch the words to make it "Future JAWS." _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas Richard Dexheimer Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 9:48 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: easier navigation to folders in Outlook Express Good morning. I've been using OE for a few years, and I was wondering if you could address an issue I have when I have a bunch of folders starting with the same word in their names--i.e., I have almost 20 folders beginning with the word Jaws. When moving a message from my Inbox to a different folder, spacebar doesn't work; I can only use first letter or first word navigation. My only luck is pressing the first letter or down arrow numerous times till I land on the folder I want. Is there a quicker way to find the desired folder to transfer the message to, when spacebar is disabled and there's no character to substitute for space? Is this a Jaws or OE issue?
