create a pop-up list as a field in a personal folder

[Green Fox]

I'm trying to get organized, and reduce the number of places I look
for messages in my personal folder. Email will be save in a folder
named for the sender. I would like to add a 'department' field to the
list, and would like it to have a pop-up list — such as the flag field
and importance field have. Can't figure out how to do it. Any
suggestions?

Um... won’t that make more places for email, not less?

Why not use fewer folders and custom views and search folders to hide and
show mail?

PS - If I understand what you want to do correctly, it can't be done.

Thanks Diane,

I'm thinking it would be easier to have one large personal folder with
individual folders for each sender, a field for 'department' would
permit me to quickly sort them. I just thought that a pop-up menu
might save me some typing (once this is set up). So VBA wouldn't help
either I guess?
