When I return after some free days, I handle all my unread mail starting at the bottom (as it is the message that I received first after I went away).

When I’m done with the email, I usually either delete it or move it to another folder. After this, Outlook automatically selects the email before it; which I’ve already read.

Can I make Outlook to move up the list of message and thus automatically select my next unread item instead of going down the list of received messages?

I just reinstalled my computer but did not save the nk2-file to maintain my autocomplete list.

I’m looking for a way to delete a mail from the web mail client when I delete the message in Outlook.

It’s because I don’t want to have a messy mailbox when I have to use the web mail client. Right now, when I delete an email in Outlook, the original one still remains in my inbox on the web server, so after a couple of months I have a real mess in my inbox.

Is there any way to also delete these messages from the server from within Outlook?
