You¹ve misunderstood the intention of the Move feature. It¹s meant for moving messages between folders within Outlook. To file an open message you just click the Move menu button and select Choose Folder In the next window you simply begin typing the name of the folder and all available matches are provided. Once you¹ve selected a folder then that folder is placed at the top of a recently used list for quicker access. >I look forward to the new trial to find where they hid the Switch >Identity >Hopefully it is not history. Consider it history. The original Switch Identity feature was envisioned by Microsoft as a solution to the problem of having just one Mac user account that must be shared by many users. This is from the classic Mac OS days. With the introduction of Mac OS X and its multiple user accounts, the need for this feature *as it was envisioned* in Entourage and Outlook is gone. Folks have also used this feature as an archiving mechanism, which Microsoft wasn¹t expecting. Although Microsoft hasn¹t provided a very good archiving solution with either Entourage or Outlook, they certainly don¹t want to support using Switch Identity as a solution. It¹s buried in Outlook to make it less convenient to use. We can probably expect it to be gone in the next major version. We¹ll need to spend the time between now and then to find a different solution for archiving. -- William Smith -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
