OL2002: You Cannot Use the Quick Key Search in a Large Shared Inbox Folder (331483)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2002

This article was previously published under Q331483

SYMPTOMS

If you view the Inbox, and then click any letter on the keyboard while you are using Outlook 2002, Outlook 2002 is supposed to quickly sort to items that start with the previously clicked letter. This function is known as a quick key search and should work for any column that is selected in the current view. You may notice that this functionality does not work as expected when you view the contents of a large shared Inbox that belongs to another user if the shared mailbox is on a different Microsoft Exchange.
