How to set up so when deleting an e-mail it auto opens the next?

[Leece123]

Hi there,

I've just upgraded from express to outlook 2007. In the old system if an
e-mail was open and it was deleted, the next message was automatically
opened. Does anyone know how to set this up please ?

Tools, Options, Email Options - first item in the list.

AFAIK, Outlook cannot do that. You might try this VBA sample:

Open the VBA environment (alt+f11), then open the project explorer (ctrl+r)
and double click "ThisOutlookSession" to open that code module. Then copy
the code into ThisOutlookSession, click Save, and restart Outlook.

It doesn't open the next email if you delete on, but it deletes the last
opened email if you move to the next or previous one.

Yes it can. In Outlook 2007 do Tools-Options-Preferences-Email Options and
in the top section, email handling, change the drop-down box against "After
Moving or deleting an Open Item" to "Open the next item"....

Thanks, I didn't know that. Outlook 2003 can do it as well.

I didn't know either, until I looked. I use the default of "back to
Inbox"....
