There is a way of grouping your email messages into subjects, or conversations as Outlook Express refers to them. If you are going through your email, and there is a bunch of messages with, lets say for example, today's weather, in the subject line, then you could group those messages together and delete them all together instead of one at a time. Another good thing about grouping conversations together is that you can read all of the messages that contain the same subject together one after the other instead of one at a time as they come up. This feature of Outlook Express can really be handy in reading email messages, as well as deleting messages.
The grouping messages by conversation feature can be turned on and off by doing the following:
1. While in the message list, hit alt V for the view menu.
2. Arrow down to current view sub menu, and hit enter.
3. Arrow down to Group messages by conversations, and hit enter.
4. This should put a check mark beside it in the menus. When it is checked, it is turned on, and when there is no check mark, then the feature is off.
