I have three POP3 email accounts and I'd like to have Favorite Folders for the email from those accounts.
A1:
There are several different ways you could solve your problem. Because Search Folders can be added to the Favorite Folders list, I recommend setting up a Search Folder for each account.
Follow the steps used in "Create a Custom Search Folder," earlier in this hour , using the custom search option. On the Advanced tab, choose All Mail fields, Email Account from the F i eld drop-down list, use contains for the C ondition, and enter all or part of your account name in the Val u e field. Your email account name is the name of the account in T ools, Email A ccounts, V iew or Change existing email accounts and click N ext. The account names are listed on the Email Accounts dialog.
Add the Search Folders to your Favorite Folders list and you can view the messages by account.
Q2:
I set up a rule to flag messages and did something wrong and a lot of messages I didn't want flagged are flagged. Because there are so many of these messages, changing each flag individually will take days. Is there a way to remove the flags quickly?
A2:
Create a Search Folder that contains only the flag color you want to remove from messages. If you can fine-tune the Advanced Filter tab to show only the messages that were flagged incorrectly, you can select all the messages in the Search Folder, right-click, and choose Follow U p, Clear Fla g . If you can't create a filter to show only the messages that were flagged incorrectly, hold the Shift or Ctrl key as you select the messages that need the flag cleared. Right-click and choose Follow U p, Clear Fla g periodically ”don't wait until you have all the messages selected to clear the flags.
