"flag to" field

[Guest]

When you right click on the flag of a message, one option is a reminder. In
there, you can "flag to", and one option there is "read". I'd like to set up
a search folder that collects all the things that I set those reminders to
"read". Any advice?

I'm trying to do a custom search and putting in a condition, but I don't
know where the field is for this "flag to" option.

In the Advanced Search dialog go to the Advanced tab, in the Look in
drop-down select All Mail Fields, Follow Up Flag. Use Contains as the
condition and enter "read" (without the quotes) in the value field. If using
Outlook 2003 you can also set up a search folder using those criteria.

thanks, Ken, the search folder idea was why I was asking, so this will help.
Appreciate it.

Is there a way to get custom folders to bold when they have something? I
notice that the standard ones bold up, despite that being usually reserved
for unread messages in folders. I now have several search folders in severa
PST files that are expanded on my navigation area. I'd love to be able to
scan down and see where I need to act, with the custom folders also bolding
up as they are filled and not taken care of.

Thx if there's a way. For that matter, thx if there's not.

It should be automatic. All of my search folders (default, created in the UI
and created using code) bold when they have unread contents. If a search
folder hasn't been used in a while it will show up listed using italics. If
you click in the folder it will remove the italics since it's now updating
the search folder.
