Going to the next message after deleting from list

L

LKRichardson

I like using the preview panes, but unlike Outlook (which I use at work), when I delete a message from the list in Entourage, it jumps back to the previous message instead of going to the next one. I'd like to get it to go to the next one, but I've looked under all tools and preferences and cannot find any way to change this. Can anyone help? Or is this Microsoft's way to make me go out and buy a copy of Outlook for my home Mac?

Hope you're still checking....

I'm pretty sure that Entourage goes to the next most recent message. So in
folders that I have sorted top to bottom, oldest to newest, it goes down to
the next one when I delete a message. In folders that I have sorted newest
to oldest from top to bottom, it goes up.

There's a preference under Prefs | Mail & News, Read tab that sets "next
message" or "just close." The problem is in the interpretation of "next."

By the way, Entourage is replacing both Outlook and Outlook Express for OS
X. Are you on OS 9? Don't think you can run Outlook without a connection
to an Exchange Server (which I assume you have at work?), and Outlook
Express is a free download.
