Can color be used to highlight new mail?

[Diane]

Does anyone know how to set up Outlook such that new,
unread mail appears in a colored font? The font options
do not present incoming mail as a option for font
selection. I have a user who tells me this was done for
her at a prior firm. We're running with Exchange 2000.

Thanks for all help.

It might help to know which VERSION of Outlook you are inquiring about.

yes, I have been to this site and it helps allot for color coded mail.
new question.. I know how to do this in outlook, is there a way to do this in OL express?

 

[Roady]

Don't think so.

Better ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook
forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!
