Audience: GroupWise 6.5 Windows Client Users Purpose: Create a folder that shows the un-read items in the user's main mailbox folder. The Pitch: Some users have enough items in their mailbox that they would like to just see the items that are in their main mailbox, that they have not opened. The solution makes a solution in which an ?Un-Read? folder is just one click away within the GroupWise Windows client. |

- From the Find Results window (as shown in Figure 2) select File|Save As Folder
- Name the folder, for example the name could be Un-Read Mail
- Use the Up, Down, Right and Left buttons to put the new Un-Read Mail folder in the location you would like it to be in.
- Select the ?Finish? button to save the Find folder as a permanent folder in GroupWise.
When you select the Un-Read Mail folder you will only see mail items that have not been read. You can also use the column headers to sort by date or other sort criteria if you would like. See Figure 3.
