Kerio Outlook Connector (Offline Edition) supports grouping of messages by categories and searching in message bodies.

5.9.1  Message grouping

Grouping of messages helps make work with email more transparent and comfortable as well as search for one or multiple messages by defined criteria. Messages can be grouped by columns (items) in message lists (From, Subject, Received, etc.).

Grouping by columns can be set as follows:

  1. Right-click on the message list header and in the context opp-up menu select the Group By This Field option (see figure 5.25  Message grouping — settings).

  2. A new bar appears above the list's header. Use the Drag & Drop method to drag any column on it. The column disappears from the message list and messages are sorted by it (see figure 5.26  Grouping by the From column). If you need an advanced filter, simply add another column as search criteria and add it to the first one. Columns will be ordered hierarchically.

Grouping can be also removed. Right-click on the column by which the email was sorted (the From column in this case) and select Don't Group By This Field (see figure 5.27  Grouping removal).

5.9.2  Looking up messages

Messages can be searched by sender, subject or by a string included in message body. To search for a particular message, enter a string (a word or a part of a word) to the Search at the right-top corner of the message list window (see figure 5.28  Looking up messages).
