Show or hide items or files with a view filter

Applies to: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

Click the folder you want to apply a filter to.
On the View menu, point to Arrange By, and then click Custom.
Click Filter.
Select the filter options you want.
To filter using additional criteria, such as a category or importance level, click the More Choices tab, and then select the options you want.
If you select more than one option, only the items that meet all of the criteria will appear. However, if you use the same field to set multiple criteria, items that meet one criterion within that field will be found.
You can optionally filter using custom criteria.

Show How?

Click the Advanced tab.
Click Field.
Point to the field set you want, and then click the field you want to use in the search criteria.
In the Condition list, click the condition (condition: Part of the criteria that a field must meet for searching or filtering. Some conditions must be used with a value; for example, the field Author with the condition equals with the value Jane.) you want to use with the selected field. The conditions available depend on the field that is selected.
If the condition requires a value (value: The text, date, number, or logical input that completes a condition that a field must meet for searching or filtering. For example, the field Author with the condition equals must include a value, such as John, to be complete.), enter the value you want the field and condition to meet in the Value box.
