[AccessD] OT: Outlook questions

Yes, it can be compacted.  you have to:

1) Right click on the very top level folder ("Outlook today" on my machine).
That will open a right click menu.
2) Click "Properties" which will open a dialog form.
3) Click the Advanced button
4) Click "Compact now"
5) Wait 4 or 5 hours if the file is very large.

  Subject: [AccessD] OT: Outlook questions


  Hi, I was wondering if anyone in this group knows that answer to either of
my two Outlook questions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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 :(

  Sorry for the OT.
