Want to Group messages by date only in Outlook XP 2002

[Guest]

When you use the grouping function in an Outlook XP 2002 folder (like Inbox)
to group by Received field; you get multiple groups each containing one
message, because the field is a date-time field.

I want to group all messages received any given day, discarding the time data.
Anybody knows how to do this, seems a very simple thing to do. Maybe I'm
bypassing something.

Thanks

Unfortunately you can't...only Outlook 203 can do this.

No problem, I just had a funny image of a 3rd Century monk sitting down
trying to send an e-mail. LOL!

How do you do this with Outlook 2003?

I have been searching for the answer to this original statement by Patricia,
but cannot seem to locate one. How do you perform a "group by" in Outlook
2003 with only the Date (not Date and Time)?

I am trying to expand the current "Grouping" feature of the Outlook 2003
Inbox to more than just the standard 7 groups: Yesterday, Last Week, Two
Weeks Ago, Three Weeks Ago, Last Month, Older ...

I have not had any luck with this. I am still living with the same
limitations you mention. I am trying to do the same thing with journals,
group by date (not time) for more than 7 days.

I have spent a couple hours researching this, and a lot of folks say it is
possible to "group by" date. However, they all seem to think that using the
standard "Arrange by" -> "Date" is sufficient. Let us be clear - I am
looking for more than the standard 7 groups provided with the "Arrange by",
"Date" selection.

that is impossible to do in outlook 2002 - it groups by the exact date and
time, not day or other period.

We are considering Outlook 2003. Sorry ... Patricia changed the version
below. Is this possible in Outlook 2003?

What exactly are you looking to do? Outlook 2003 supports the built in
arrange by groups - you cannot change or edit them. If you try to create
your own groups, it reverts to the behavior in older versions - and groups
by exact time.
