Sorting the Mail – Video Tip

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could sort your email by the date it was received or by the name of the sender?

If you use Microsoft Outlook Express (or Outlook), Mozilla Thunderbird, or most other email systems), you can quickly sort all of your mail. AOL finally added this feature for its members just last year. As an added bonus, this tip will work with any computer or operating system.

To sort the mail:

1. Click ONE time on the desired heading of your email list. For example, to sort your messages chronologically, click once on the date heading to sort from oldest to newest.
2. Click again to sort from newest to oldest.
3. To sort your mail by the sender, simply click on the “From” heading at the top of the email list.
4. To sort by the subject of the email, click one time on the “Subject” heading at the top of the email list.
5. As in Step 1, if you click a second time on a column heading, the sort direction will reverse.
6. You can even click on the “paper clip ” at the top of the email list to quickly find messages that have attachments.

That’s it! Simple, clean and useful…give it a try!! Watch the video below to see this tip in action.
