Hey Dave, You're brilliant!! I did as you suggested and went to the sent items folder and than went into the view menu. I arrowed until I got to arranged submenu and down arrowed until I came across the current view submenu. I right arrowed to open the submenu and down arrowed to sent to and pressed enter. Somehow you were right I had the unread check box checked. So now I just have the sent to checked and I'm able To see all the messages that I wrote from today. Thank you so much for your help. I thought that I was going crazy or something. Boy I have to be a little more careful when I navigate through menus or when I just poke keys because I never know what I'm going to do next. It's people like you that really make learning the computer possible. I get discouraged easy because I don't understand everything that is involved with using a computer. Glad that the problem is solved.

Hit enter on the sent items folder, then go to the view menu and select current view. Make sure you have your current view is set the way you would want. Mine is set to "sent to" but you could also have it set to "messages". The "messages" option sets them all to show you as the sender, so I use the "sent to" choice, which shows to whom the messages were sent. If you have "unread messages" checked, you'll probably see nothing in the list.

I'm also using Outlook 2003. I was wondering when I'm in the Outlook 2003 tree view and I want to search for a specific folder this is what happens to me How is it that I'm unable to see all of my e-mails from my sent items folder. For example, when I go to the tree view and use first letter navigation to get to my sent items folder and press enter. I then tab to the list view where you would normally see all the e-mails that you've ever written in there. You would think that they would be there. Is there a feature that you can turn on and off to cause something like this to happen where you can't even view the e-mails that are in the sent items folder. In my Outlook settings I have all the unsent e-mails that I wish to work on later go into my drafts folder and I have checked everything else out and it seems like everything is going to the appropriate folders except for the sent items e-mails. I don't see anything there. When I go to the list view Jaws says "From subject receive size: There are no items to show in this view." What does this possibly mean? I went to the Outlook window and went to tools: options and in the preferences dialog box, I tab to the e-mail options button. I tab to where it said saved copies of messages in sent items folder check box is checked. Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing before? This has been going on for quite some time. Any help would be greatly appreciative. Carmen Santiago
