closing open Outlook e-mails

[Guest]

Is there a way to close all open Outlook e-mails without closing Outlook
itself? Or is there a better way to be working (a particular view, for
instance) that will prevent my usual annoying scenario: I continually end up
with about 30 e-mails open on my monitor, which I then am forced to close
individually, using the Close upper-right-hand box, for lack of knowing some
automated way. I'm checked out some of the View options, and I really prefer
completely opening each e-mail, as opposed to seeing it in a small pane on
the right hand side of the Outlook window.

Bottom line: How to close all open e-mails at once. A right-click anywhere
on the Outlook window and selecting "Close all e-mails" would be nice.

Return question; how do you end up with 30 mails open? Every now end then
remind yourself to close them when you're done with it ;-)

Anyway, when you minimize Outlook to the Notification area and you have
Grouping enabled for the Windows Taskbar you can rightclick the group and
choose Close All.

alt+F4 will close a message (or the window in focus) if you are a
keyboarder.
