Is it possible to view both the Inbox and Sent Items in the same list?

[Rufus V. Smith]

I'd really like to be able to view my correspondence in order. i.e. I send
an
email, get a response, send another,...

The problem is, I have email in the Inbox and the Sent Items folder.

I'd like to get them on the same screen, so I can track the progress of a
conversation in order.

Any Ideas? (short of copying all the files into one folder....)

In Outlook 2003, you can create a custom search folder.

File/New/Search Folder...
Scroll down to and select Create a custom Search Folder, then click
Choose...
Give it a name
Do not set any criteria
Click browse
Uncheck any currently checked folders
Check Inbox and Sent Items
Uncheck Search Subfolders (unless you want it checked)
Click OK
Click OK
You will get a warning about your lack of criteria. Click Yes.
Click OK

If you wish you can then drag the new folder up to your Favorite Folders
pane.

That looks like it'll do the trick, thanks!

I think I can use that search trick for some other things, too.
