Just FYI, that sequence does not exist for me in Outlook Classic.? After Alt + V, there is no Y option.? I suspect you may have an add-in that shifts some of your shortcuts (I have these in Word, but not Outlook).
?
The Alt + F1 option cycles the Folder Tree between: hidden, minimized, and maximized (on full view, which is the default).
?
If the Folder Tree is hidden, one definitely can't traverse something that's not on the screen.? But in minimized and maximized formats, it does get landed on during the F6 cycle.

Hello Steven, ? You might want to make sure the folder pane is set to normal.? The sequence of keys to use are Alt followed by V, followed by y, followed by 2, followed by F.? Check to see if the Normal option is checked.? If not, press enter key on the Normal option.? If you also want Favorites at the top of the Folder list then go back into the menu where you chose Normal, and use down arrow key to the Favorites option and press enter to check it if it is not checked already. ?You should then be able to use shift F6 from your message list to get into the Folders list. ? Take care. ?? ? ?

Try pressing alt plus F1. I believe this will show/hide the navigation/folder list sidebar.

Ctrl + Y brings up the "Go to Folder" dialog, where you can select a folder and then after selecting the folder, your focus is thrown to the first message contained in that folder, but not the folder tree itself.

When you are in any folder's message list, Shift + F6 should always throw focus back to the Folder Tree from the message list.? It's directly prior to the message list itself in the F6 traversal cycle.

Re: How do I combine two inboxes into a single one.
It seems that I have a combined Inbox. I created a new Outlook account for a specific group of messages. Those messages are coming into the same Inbox as my gmail account. That was a surprise to me. When I want to send a message, I am going to the From field, opening it and it shows all of my addresses. The gmail address appears to still be the default and if I go down to the new address, it uses that as the From address. Is this what you mean by a unified Inbox? I’m using Windows 11, M365 and Outlook Classic. It was a surprise to me how it set this up. But, once I figured it out, it’s actually pretty cool. ? ?

I think once you are in the chat, you can simply shift tab to a field that reads as “name group chat has pop up dialogue”, which seems to be a basic edit field. Press enter and change the name, then tab to “save” and

Re: how to get help with copilot
I used co-pilot to help me write a legal letter to an apartment block owner.? One of the Pannels on the fence between our backyard and their parking lot? fell down due to poor maintenance
on the manager’s part, the fence was on the apartment block property. The manager of one of the blocks, who should have taken care of it, was too busy enjoying his libations.? Which at times is the biggest problem, managers are either drunk most of the time
or praying on female tenants. Owners of these places have no idea what is going on with the buildings they own. Anyway, co-pilot was very helpful in the request I made.? ???

Is there a way to get copilot to help with writing a letter?
Yes.? And what I'm about to propose is pretty much necessary in these early days of AI assistance in Office, and that's using AI searches for tips on how to use the AI assistance.? I asked the standalone Copilot App (though I could have
used ChatGPT, Perplexity.ai, etc.), "How do I use Copilot in Word to help write a letter?"? ?Here's the answer it provided (and note, in this early stage, with things changing quickly, small bits are inaccurate and require tweaking):
Using Copilot in Word to compose a letter is straightforward and efficient! Here's how you can do it:
- Start a New Document: Open Word and create a new blank document.
- Draft with Copilot: Look for the "Draft with Copilot" box. [Note: this is inaccurate.? It's been replaced by the Copilot button in the Home ribbon, once
activated and the Copilot sidebar opens, there is an edit box for the Copilot prompt.? You can also hit Alt + I in the blank document to open the Draft with Copilot box instead.] Here, you can type a prompt describing the letter you want to compose. For example,
you could write, "Compose a formal business letter requesting a meeting."
- Generate Content: Click "Generate," and Copilot will create a draft based on your input. You can review the draft and choose to keep it, regenerate it for
a different version, or discard it.
- Fine-Tune the Draft: If you want to adjust the tone, style, or content, you can provide additional instructions in the compose box. For example, you might
say, "Make it more concise" or "Add a polite closing statement."? [Hit the Generate Content button after you give Copilot the refinement prompt.]
- Enhance Existing Content: If you already have a draft, Copilot can help refine it. Use the "Inspire Me" feature to expand on your ideas or improve the flow.
- Reference Files: If you want Copilot to use specific files as a reference, you can upload them or mention them in your prompt. This is especially useful
for creating letters based on existing templates or documents.
Remember, Copilot is there to assist, but you'll need to review and personalize the draft to ensure it fits your needs perfectly. You can find more details on
.
Let me know if you'd like help crafting a specific letter!
----
I stuck some quick notes I made inside square brackets in the instructions.? It's the first time I played with Copilot at all in word and, on the whole, the instructions are reasonably accurate, if not perfect. It never hurts to try several different AI
search engines for instructions such as this because they all rely on Large Language Models that have different resources from which they draw.

There's no way to answer this question broadly and generically.? We're at the stage where "playing with it" and seeing what you get in your circumstances is the best way to determine the behavior.? And even that is subject to change.
?
When I hit the insert button it inserted the exact Bible text returned with the citations regarding chapters and verses for each respective section, but it did not give any citation regarding which version of the Bible.? And based on the phrasing, it was clearly not King James.
?
Everyone who wants to know how this works, at this stage of the game, is going to be obligated to play with prompting Copilot based upon their own needs, seeing what Copilot returns, and then what you get when you choose to insert what is returned when one is using it to search for content (as opposed to draft a letter, or edit a letter, or similar).
?
This stuff is all too new, and all too "in flux" for any answer given today to necessarily be accurate tomorrow.? It's even more in a state of flux than Windows 10 was in the early days (and if you do searches on how to tweak all kinds of things under Windows 10, half of the answers or more that you get back are wrong just because the methods changed over time - they were right when the person wrote them, then things changed).? Learning "bleeding edge" stuff is work, period, and lots of trial and error is involved.? But, and I made this point in the other topic, you can actually get tons of really useful help on using Copilot in Office programs using the standalone AI searches to ask about it.? But like all things AI, what you get out comes from the quality of your prompt.? You need to give specific prompts.? "How do I use Copilot in Word?," is far too broad.? "How do I use Copilot in Word to write a business letter?," or, "How do I use Copilot in Word to help me polish my draft letter?," is not.? And the more specific you are in your prompts to AI about what you want back in a search or assistance with in an AI assistant situation, the better the results you'll get.? You just get to pose the questions in pretty close to entirely natural language.
