Catherine, 

To sort messages in the way you wish do the following:-
By time:   
Jaws to PC cursor,
Arrow to above the top message in your list and jaws will say "From"
"subject" "Received", 
click on received and bingo first part done.

Ascending or descending follow the same steps.  If the messages are
descending and you would rather they were ascending, simply repeat the above
steps once again.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards.

Matty.

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can explain something to me I've never understood.

The way I have Outlook 2000 set up, at the top of the inbox come the most
recent e-mails.  I arrow down and JAWS says "Conversation: Hello or whatever
the subject is".  Within those conversation groups, the most recent e-mail
is at the bottom.  I hope that makes sense - as you'll see below I don't
understand it!

I have several questions.  I like having the most recent e-mails within a
conversation at the bottom, but really I'd like the whole thing with the
most recent e-mails (the whole load of e-mails in the inbox, not just within
each conversation, if that makes sense).  How do I do this?

The other thing is, although most e-mails seem to get sorted/grouped in the
way I describe above, some which are very recent seem to get put at the
bottom. I  don't really understand how to set Outlook up so I have it the
way I want it.  I don't know whether to choose ascending or descending, and
I don't know the difference between sorting and grouping.  There seem to be
millions of ways of customising it in Outlook and I can't imagine that
they're necessary.  I thought I had it the way I want it but every now and
then someone says they've sent me an e-mail and I don't notice it, because
it's been put at the bottom and I assume it will be near the top (and I have
e-mails in between which I just keep for info, so I never get to the bottom
cos I think all below a certain point are just for info).  Then someone says
about an e-mail they've sent me and I find it at the bottom even though it's
recent.

Can anyone explain to me?

Catherine
