MS Office Forum / Outlook / 3rd Party Utilities / June 2004Outlook FInd feature
Hello- I just upgraed to Outllok 2003. it is pretty cool aqnd better than the previosu one, but when I use the FIND function for mail, it is very slow. It also seems to look from the oldest to the newest, which is the wrong way. IS there any way to speed this up OR get it to start from the newest first? Thanks No, not really... use search folders instead.

Thanks Hello, I think the question warrants a slightly more verbose answer. Why has Microsfot in all their wisdom decided that productivity is increased by starting e-mail searchjobs in the oldest e-mail?? I don't know what you mean exactly by 'search folders instead' and I really just want to use to standard searchbar.. Kind regards, Ries > No, not really... use search folders instead. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > there any way to speed this up OR get it to start from the > > newest first? Thanks It has nothing to do with lack of wisdom or productivity. It's how it's always worked - whether it was overlooked, is a bug, or is 'by design' (because they couldn't do it newest first without causing bigger problems) is unknown. They are well aware that it's irritating and stupid... You said you use Outlook 2003. Outlook 2003 has a new feature called search folders. Search Folders are like a permanent find and index the messages as they arrive, not at the time you start Find. Look for it at the end of your mail folders. right click on the Search Folder and choose new search folder to create a customized one. You may want to test Lookout (http://www.lookoutsoft.com/Lookout/) - it has great search capabilities.
