filter applied

[Guest nashbro]

i'm new to the computer world, late comer. Can you tell me what is meant when I go into e-mail "filter applied." Much appreciated. Thanks.

It's sorta difficult to tell what you're asking about. Are you talking about the e-mail section of this site? I just looked and didn't see "filter applied" anywhere.

 

What *are* you asking about?

[Guest nashbro]

No, not this site. My computer at work. I never had it before, but now when I go into Microsoft Outlook, in the upper right hand corner it states "Filter Applied."

You'll have to ask your office help desk.

 

That's beyond what anyone here can answer definitively.

It means that your Outlook system has been configured to show only a subset of the folders in the selected folder.

 

If you let me know what version of Outlook you have, I can tell you how to turn off the filter.

 

Generally, it involves going to the changing to a different view or configuring your existing view.

Depending on the setup his IT people have imposed, he may not have control over views.

Oh, you're right. Being an admininstrative user in my own domain, I sometimes forget that not everyone has full control over their machine.

I forget about it too. If nothing else, this site reminds me (routinely) why our end-users call us Net-Nazis. ;-)
