Outlook question

[Crawley]

Have to use Outlook at work.

We have a personal inbox, and a shared departmental box that all staff have access to.

Problem is, the shared inbox is broken down into multiple folders for various subjects, and on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern, it is easy to miss important emails on days off.

I've seen a way of making un-read e-mails in the "all docs" box show in red text, but we can't find how to set that up.

Anyone?

Are you referring to 'flag status' - the little flag icon at the very right of the email line (next to the 'size' column)

?

if you add those mailboxes to favourites they should pin to top with unread count in brackets

Not as such............although there could be a connection. What I've seen is the header line of each un-read e-mail appears in red text (to show it as un-read).
We keep masses of operational e-mails in the relevant folders, and spotting all the un-read ones is tricky, but a colleague has his outlook set so when he is first day back on shift, his (shared) inbox has all unread e-mails in red. He just can't remember how to set it!!!!

It's called Conditional formatting

Outlook 2010:

Navigate to a folder:

- Click View on ribbon
- Click View Settings
- Click Conditional formatting
- Add a rule and change the font colour

Thank-you.

Have adjusted my personal inbox........if I carry out the same action on the shared inbox, will it adjust the setting for all readers, or only mine as we all sign into the system individually?
