Does anyone know how to group my email in the inbox?
I use Outlook Express and MS Outlook and both use to group them up.
All the email from the same person would be "grouped" together.
How do I get Windows Mail to do this?
Please help. Thanks.

Windows Mail works just like Outlook Express for this.

Create a folder in the Local Folders for a person.
File - New - Folder

Create a message rule to move all emails from that person to that folder.
Tools - Message rules - Mail - New

She is asking how to group by PERSON SENT FROM, not conversation. I need to
do the same thing. I can't build folders for each of the 125 clients though
as the next reply suggested. I can't figure it out either. Maybe we need to
go back to Outlook.

Click on the column header 'Sent'.

Sorry, that's the header in Newsgroups. Inbox is the 'From' column header.

That simply sorts them - in Outlook it will group them and put the +/- by the
group so you can expand the group or contract the group. Also, it will give
you a count of the # of emails in the group so you can quickly get a count -
which is very handy when you are trying to get a quick count of the new
emails for each group.
