Use views to read messages

Outlook Express has default views that you can use without having to create custom views.

On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click one of the following options:

Show All Messages.
This view shows all the messages in one of your folders, such as your Inbox—new and old, read and unread.

Hide Read Messages.
This view hides all the messages you've read, leaving only the messages you have not read.

Show Downloaded Messages (use only with IMAP and newsgroups).
This view displays the messages that were most recently downloaded from the server.

Show Replies to my Messages (use only with newsgroups).
This view displays only messages that are replies to a message you posted on a newsgroup.

Hide Read or Ignored Messages.
This view hides messages that you have read or that you have applied the Ignore Conversation command to.

You can also choose to arrange Inbox messages by subject. To do this, on the Current View menu, click Group Messages by Conversation.

Note

The view you choose for a type of mail or news will stay in effect until you change it.
