Here is what comes up. Outlook 2002 works like a charm with several folders! Puts it all where its supposed to be! But If you close Outlook with unread notes there when it opens again you will have several notes that are marked read and were not! In other words anything not read when it was shut down will be marked Read when it opens again! Anyone know what switch I need to turn off or or!
