Quickly reading unread messages in public folders

[Guest]

Is there any easy way of moving through unread messages in public folders
(similar to the unread messages in the inbox)?

Thanks

Helen

create or apply an unread view to the folder.

If you mean by creating a Search Folder than no. You can of course change
the view of the Public Folder to show only Unread Items so you don't have to
scroll and find the unread items yourself.

Thanks Diane and Roady, that sort of works - the trouble is we are using
Public Folders for "conferencing" so the messages really need to be grouped
by conversation - I don't suppose there is a short cut key that takes you to
the next unread? Otherwise we will need to remember to keep switching from
one view and back again....not ideal.

Use the grouped by conversation view and set it to hide read messages - if
you need to the the full thread, you can expand the group.

Use the blue arrows for next unread - you need to select it from the flyout
or it goes to the next message

you need to the the full thread, you can expand the group.

If you hide read messages then the only way I can "expand the group" is to
make the messages visible again ie change the view - did I miss something?

This looked hopeful - but unfortunately it only works within a conversation
and it was posts to earlier converstaions that I was looking for!

Still I am learning! :O)
