3.16 REARRANGING YOUR EMAILS
If you receive lots of emails, you can organise them in
different ways so you can find something easily. The "View" Menu gives you powerful ways of doing this. You
can change your mind at any time.
To get into the "View" menu, press ALT V to hear "File", DOWN ARROW once to "sort
by", RIGHT ARROW once to "Watch/Ignore", then ARROW DOWN the choices: Priority, Attachment, Flag, From, Subject,
Received, Sort Ascending, Sort Descending. You can change whether an item is checked or unchecked by pressing ENTER
on it.
Most people like to have recent emails at the top of the Inbox list, with the name
of the sender, email title and date sent. If you would like this arrangement, you will need to have "Received" and
"Sort Descending" checked.
You can have all emails by one person together if you have "From" checked.
Senders’ names will be arranged alphabetically.
Emails on the same theme can be grouped together if you have "Subject"
checked.
Emails with attachments can be grouped together if you have
"Attachments" checked.
You can hide emails that you have read so that only new emails are in your Inbox.
This is rather disconcerting if you wander into it by mistake as your emails seem to have gone! It is quite useful
to deliberately "hide" emails you’ve read as it helps you not to miss new ones.
To get to "hide read messages", press ALT V and hear "file", press RIGHT ARROW to
"show all messages: checked", ARROW DOWN to "hide read messages: unchecked" and press ENTER to check it. You will
now only be able to read unread messages. To get back all your read emails, follow the same procedure but when you
hear "show all messages: unchecked", press ENTER.
