Unread messages view returns in Outlook 2013.
Viewing ‘Unread mails only’ has returned as a classic ‘flip flop’ from Microsoft.
Outlook 2010 dropped the ‘Unread messages’ view because Microsoft assured us their testing showed that people didn’t want or use that feature. Really? People didn’t want to see just unread messages? In what alternate universe did they get that daft idea?
In this time/space continuum it’s common for users to use Read/Unread as marker to indicate messages that need attention or a reply. It’s been that way ever since Outlook was first released.
That excuse always sounded silly and sure enough, Outlook 2013 not only has an unread messages view but it’s more prominent than ever.
It’s at the top of the message list making it easy to switch between showing all messages and just unread ones.
