Filtering If your Mailbox or Calendar contains many items, it may be hard to find one item in particular. Filter lets you display items according to specific criteria. For example, a filter fl can display only items that have a certain word in the subject. Filter does not actually move or delete items; it displays certain items based on the criteria you specify. When you clear the filter, all the items reappear. Filters you create affect all folders. The basic Filter dialog box lets you filter on the following information: From, To, CC, Subject, Message, and Category. If you want to filter on additionalfields, click Advanced Filter.
