Rename an item in outlook

Post by sektor-05 »

I think someone asked this question before but can't find it:

I am receiving faxes into my mailbox but the from address and subject makes it impossible to organize properly. Is there a way to change the name and subject of an email in outlook's inbox?

In Office 2007 you can just click and type to change the subject?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

You can. Open your inbox. Right click on your column headers and select Customise Current View. Select Other Settings. At the top of the dialogue, click Allow In-Cell Editing. Then do the Ok thing. You can now edit the subject and sender

Interestingly enough - if the message is open I can edit it without that option being selected?

But this way is much, much easier. Thanks Tribs! :)

My pleasure. I don't like opening them all - preview pane rocks
