Alan - Yahooooo!!!! That totally fixed this problem - very strange that this
is how it had to be handle. After I switched to View > Current View > >
Messages with AutoPreview, my preview pane closed. So I turned the preview
pane back on - and I could still search!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!!

I did not have the option to reset, it was grayed out. However, I did notice
that I can sort by subject, hit a letter, and it will go to the first email
subject starting with that letter. So I thought the arrangement of the
columns from left to right had something to do with this, so I put the "from"
column to the right of the subject column, and it still did not work. It
only seems to be the "from" column, even the received. Only the subject
column in the inbox lets me sort like this. In the sent mail folder I can do
this by the "to" or "subject". Very strange.

You're using the single line view? Right click again and choose Customize -
hit the Reset button. if that doesn't work, click group button and uncheck
the option to automatically group. Also check in other settings - make sure
in cell editing is not enabled. (Type down will work with grouping - but
only to the first match.)

Hi Diane, I clicked on the row, I have the choice of Group by this Field
and
Group by Box. Niether are selected. I tried various combinations with
both
of them selected and not selected, closing outlook and starting it back
up.
still no luck. I compared the customized view between inbox and sent
mail.
both were the same.

In Microsoft 2003, in outlook, I could click on the sort by "from"
column
to
sort emails by who they were from, in any folder (inbox, sent, etc).
Then, I
could click a letter or number on the keyboard and it would go to the
emails
starting with the letter or number that I clicked on. So in I have an
from Steve Barry, I would click the from column to sort that field..
Then
I
would click the letter "B" on the keyboard. It would then automatically
scroll up to the first email starting with a "B".
In Microsoft 2007 outlook, I can do this in my sent items folder, but
not
in
my inbox. In the inbox folder I have to click on the "from" column,
then
scroll to the letter. I know you can type in a name in the search
block,
but
this other method is easier to do, especially if you are not sure of
the
name, it is also quicker. I can do this in the sent mail folder, but
not
the
inbox folder.
I have looked for settings, I have tried to re-order the columns,
looked
at
short cuts, but no luck. I even searched on line and found another
person
with the same problem, however, no solution except to type in the name
in
the
search box at the top. To me, this isn't right, if I can sort then
click
the
required letter, it should work in all folders, not just sent mail..
Does anyone know how to make this work for the inbox folder, what
settings
do I need to change?
Thanks

I had the same problem and changed the view to View > Current View >
Messages with AutoPreview and the problem went away.
If I created my own view with View > Current View > Define Views... >
New... the problem also did not appear.
Don't know why that one view didn't work in that one From column while
in the Inbox.
