I may have a related question - all of a sudden, my OE has my emails
'grouped' in a tree. Does the following have something to do w/
archiving?

Today (Feb 08) I sent my daughter an email (we'll call her Alex). I
then went to the 'sent' folder later to add on to it (she tolerates
this from me) and it wasn't there. I sorted by 'sent date' just to be
sure and it still wasn't there. I used 'find' and voila' there it was,
'grouped in a tree' under an email I had sent w/ the same subject line
IN SEPTEMBER!!!
This will not work for me - my brain does not think this way and I
frequently look up emails received/deleted/sent on a certain date, NOT
subject.
HELP PLEASE. I did not ask OE to do this!!
I work w/ someone who sends/receives many emails with spreadsheets and
I'm sure my folders are getting full (I also get HIS emails in another
in-box) but if this is what archiving does, I don't want it. Is there
another way?
