Moving Back and Forward

Use the back and forward commands to quickly jump back or forward to previously-visited folders. This is very useful, for example, after performing a search.

The Back and Forward buttons are located on the right side of the header above the list columns:

   

Or press Alt+Left for Back or Alt+Right for Forward.

Search on Conversation 

To quickly see all related messages:

·         Click    on the Standard toolbar, or

·         Press F7.

You will then be quickly positioned in Search view with all messages based on the same 'conversation' displayed.

   

When done, click     or press Alt+LeftArrow to go back to the folder your came from.

About 'Conversation'

Every message has a property called Conversation, and it is usually the same as the Subject property but it can be different.

When a new message is created, the current Subject is copied to the message's Conversation. However, if the Subject is edited, the two will be different. Conversation always remains as the original Subject.

Deleting Messages

Deleted messages go to Deleted Items

To delete a message or messages, highlight the message(s) and press the Delete key

When messages are deleted in NEO they are moved without warning to your Deleted Items folder in Outlook. You can get them back if you need to by moving them from Deleted Items to another folder or by pressing Ctrl+Z (Undo) immediately after the delete action.

Note:    When you delete a message, the message will be removed from all views within NEO.

Deleting saved search folders  (Alt+Del)

If you delete a saved search folder (Alt+Del), just the saved search results are deleted – the underlying messages remain.

Undoing Actions

You can UnDo (reverse) some operations in NEO. Keep in mind that only the last action can be undone.

To UnDo an action, press Ctrl+Z or select UnDo from the Edit menu.

Viewing Message Properties

Right-click any message in list view then click Message Properties.

Location lists the NEO folders that contain the selected message. This is especially useful for determining in what Correspondent and Outlook folder a selected message is stored in. Note that you can also see what Outlook folder a message is stored on the Folder field on the Reading Pane header.
