I actually use mine all the time… any other suggestions?

Having the preview pane at the right side has never felt quite “right” to me. More specifically: Having the messages list in the middle/left of the preview pane felt strange. What makes matters worse is that I like to have a lot of columns displayed with the list, and a lot of space for the subject.
Unfortunately, MS made using a bottom pane more painful with the 2003 release by making a part of the window content ‘sticky’ (one of several deficiencies in 2003+, IMHO). Maybe this was already with 2002/XP, I only heavily used 98 and 2000 before 03.

However I used to Ctrl-Y even for going back to the Inbox, this shortcut Ctrl-Shift-I is new to me and has truly made my day!

Another brilliantly simple idea…with Speedfiler I have dumped all other Outlook Add-ins I had that supposedly improved email processing (I had 3 of ‘em!). Couple of things I’ve struggled with – any keystroke that opens an email attachments? Also, a keystroke that marks an email as junk/spam? Both could save a lot of time without having the mouse perform the functions. For the life of me, I can’t seem to find the shortcuts for these (if they at exist).

I am now able to read much easier without having so much other garbage on the screen.

I often open a separate Calendar and Tasks window and remove the Navigation Pane with Alt-F1, but never considered it for Inbox because of my need to navigate the folders. The Ctrl-Y shortcut really makes this a no-brainer! Any news on future plans for Speedfiler?
