>3. Choose your preferred method of sorting - eg unread messages, by thread. This is actually a feature in OL 2003...but I think the same can be pretty much accomplished by using View....Custom/Group and setting levels of what you want. I'd have to experiment to get it right, but it should work...however, I don't have OL2002 handy to verify. Dian D.

I thought I would try this for an alternative solution if you are viewing in Outlook - my version is 2002 but I guess it will be similar in other versions: 1. Right-click the folder your MSO mail comes into (I presume you have it set on a rule to go into a separate folder) and click Properties. 2. Click Administration. 3. Choose your preferred method of sorting - eg unread messages, by thread. Seems a great idea - except it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong or not doing in the first place?

But, you can add the "Sent" column to your folder so you will see them in the order they were sent, instead of the order you received them. Linda F.

It may be that it's too complicated or just not worth it though I guess.
