When I start up Outlook, I'd like the default view to be "Unread Mail" rather
than "Inbox". Is there any wat to do that?
 
Where do you receive your new/unread mails. I believe they come to your inBox
or do you have any other folder where you get these unread mails
 
Paul -

Any good with rules??? It's the easiest way to have things go where you want
them.

If you want a walk through - just ask. I've set it up on a couple of my
users and it's worked well.
 
Not all of my incoming mail goes to my Inbox. I have rules that send
incoming mail to various folders depending on subject, who from, etc. When I
start up Outlook, it comes up in "Mail" view and defaults to showing me my
Inbox folder. I would rather it defaults to showing me my "Unread Mail"
folder without having to "click" on the "Unread Mail" folder icon.
 
I figured out a work-around. I put a shortcut on my desktop to the "Unread
Mail" folder (First you have to search your hard drive for "Unread Mail",
then right-click on "outlook:search folders/Unread Mail" and "Add to
favorites", then move it from your favorites folder to your desktop folder).
I use that to launch outlook and it opens up in "Unread Mail" view. You can
change the shortcut's icon to suit; I changed mine to the "Outlook" icon.
Hope this helps someone else.
