Hi Jim!

I'm already doing that. I'm also using the Refresh button and the Copy To
button. However, for wading through a bunch of messages in Preview mode,
there is a difference between moving to the next message and the behavior
using the space bar. Using the space bar pages through the message text in
preview mode before moving on to the next message. Using the Next Unread
message button means that you only see the first 'page' of a message.

If you just want to use the spacebar to navigate to the next unread
message, just right click the Toolbar, select Customize and add a button
for Next Unread message (or Next Conversation if that's what you want).

Hi folks!

Is it possible to create a toolbar button that performs the equivalent of
pressing the space bar on the keyboard in Outlook Express? I've done this
in Outlook with a VB macro, but don't see a way to do it in OE. You can
customize the toolbar by adding or removing pre-canned buttons for
selected functions, but you can't add macros or `arbitrary key
combinations that were not anticipated by OE's authors as far as I can
see.

My motive is pure and simple laziness. I much prefer to navigate with my
hand on my trackball rather than shifting from it to my keyboard and back
all the time. So any suggestions you might have would be very welcome.
