INTRODUCTION

In addition to using folders to organize messages, you can also use colors. For example, you might apply a special color to all messages from a particular person. You can then see at a glance which messages are from that person.

TIP

Moving Messages

You can also use the Organize pane to move messages to a different folder. To do so, open the Tools menu and choose Organize, click the Using Folders link, and select the messages you want to move. Display the Folder drop-down list, select the folder to which the selected messages should be moved, and click the Move button.

Click the down arrow next to the In field and select the color you want to apply.

Click the Apply Color button.

Messages that match the criteria are displayed in the color you selected.

Click the Organize pane's Close (x) button to close it.
