Lotus Notes 7 Help - Customizing your Inbox and mail

MAIL AND ADDRESS BOOK

Customizing your Inbox and mail
When you first open your mail, you see the Inbox view, sorted with oldest messages first, without the preview pane.

You can change several things about the way mail appears, and the next time you open mail, Notes will remember your changes. You can:

Open mail to a different view or folder
Open with the miniview displayed for Follow Up messages, New Notices or To Do items
Open with the preview pane displayed
Customize columns to sort differently, or set columns to appear in a different order or to hide
Display icons showing whether your name is in the "To" or "cc" field, and set specified senders' names to appear in colors you choose for easier identification

For example, you may want to change the Date column sorting in the Inbox so that newest messages appear first, or make all messages sent from your manager appear in green.

To cause Notes to remember your selections, make any of these changes and then close your mail database.

Tip Before customizing the Inbox, explore the other views and folders in Mail to see whether one of them already does what you want.
