I was referred to this forum from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/maintain-focus-on-email-message-when-navigating-to/1b678cc1-4e17-46d9-b726-620bc9b0d141
I have my email grouped by category and sorted by date. Whenever, I navigate to Outlook Journal and back to email, the focus shifts to the bottom most message. I shift back an forth millions of times a day, and it is getting maddening having to pan back to the messages of interest (not to mention the time that takes). I see this as a handicap in the Outlook app with very real costs. Is there any way to maintain focus on the same message when navigating away from email and back? I don't want to open separate windows for Journal and email because I'm already trying to avoid being overwhelmed by windows.
