Order of deletion

T

Tom B.

I was wondering if there was any way to change the order in which
messages are deleted. In Outlook, when you delete a message in the
list, it highlights the next oldest message. In Entourage it
highlights the next newest message. I would like it to default to the
order used in Outlook. I'm new to Entourage and 10 years of a habit is
hard to break.

Thanks in advance.

Which view are you using 3 pane view or preview pane below?

I like the 3 pane view. I set custom arrangements in the center column.
Using the space bar, I go to the next message.

* Use the spacebar to easily go through your mail. Tap the spacebar to go
to the next message, or hold down the spacebar to scroll down through a
message slowly and continuously.

* A lot depends on the view you are using. There are shortcuts that go to
the
next unread message. In 3 pane view you can just use the space bar to go to
the next message. In preferences you can select how long before a message is
marked as read.

OPTION+COMMAND (Apple)+[ Delete the current message and display the
previous message.

====
OPTION+Command (Apple)+] Delete the current message and display the next
message.

====
CTRL+OPTION+[ Delete the current message and display the previous unread
message.

====
CTRL+OPTION+] Delete the current message and display the next unread
Message.
