<DIV><SPAN class=505425122-16072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi,
I was wondering if anyone in this group knows that answer to either of my two
Outlook questions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Can your inbox (or any other folder) be sorted by unread (bold) messages? just
as you can by date, subject line, or "From"? A co-worker of mine wanted to
know how to do this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Can Outlook be compacted? I have a co-worker that literally has thousands of
emails in each folder, and he periodically will go through and delete some of
these messages. I was just wondering if Outlook would benefit from a "compact"
or even if it even has that ability. I cannot seem to find anything in any of
its menus though :(</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
