Outlook 2010 - How to View Only Your Unread Email

Here's how to access this option in Outlook 2010:

1. Open Outlook and switch to your inbox.

2. Make sure the Home tab is selected.

3. Near the right side of the Ribbon you'll see a Find section; click Filter E-mail, Unread Mail.

Presto! Now your inbox will display only those messages that are marked as unread. Don't worry, the rest of your mail is still there; you can click Close Search up in the Ribbon to return to the standard view.

While you're at it, check out the other handy filter option in that menu: Has Attachments. That's great if you want to see only those messages that, well, have attachments.
