Odd. I have the same device, carrier, and OS, and alt+m is not preset to anything. Perhaps you are running an app that makes that assignment.

Not running any apps that would do that. That is strange. Is alt p preset on your device to phone call logs?

i'm not sure why i didn't try before, but i did go in and edit the preset filters. So it can be done.

Great work, Caspan.

JeffH,

Your tip on how to find, edit and/or delete saved searches was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Thanks!

I find that it worked OK but was not perfect by a long shot. The reason I say this is when you open their BES Inbox icon you briefly see the messages view then it changes to your inbox and if you hit the ESC key it takes you back to the messages view. so it works but is a work around some one has programmed to just change the folder view in messages when you click their icon. hey if thats all you want its good. other problem is that you hear your email alert and you take out your BB from its holster and what shows up but the messages view which is pointless.. i wish there was a way to change what happens after an alert and you unholster your BB.

Now the one thing I have done and works great is custom searches.. now you might say "I don't want to search each time...." but these are saved searches that can be accessed via hot keys. what I did was opened my messages folder clicked search. Now while in search I just changed the Service to what ever email account I was searching for and changed the folder to only inbox. I saved it and assigned the hot key of Alt + C for Caspan email. When I open my messages I hit alt +C and only my caspan email is there.. you can do this for every email service that you have on the BB best part is you can get rid of all the other email icons and just use the messages .. thats what comes up anyways every time you get an email so you might as well use it.

I did this when I had a Bold 9700 and It worked great! However I have a Torch now and I can't figure out how to do this w/ OS 6. Can anyone help?...
