Ok, I've got a stupid question for something I am trying to do and can't figure out.

Here is my situation:

I have an Outlook Personal Folder containing over 10,000 emails. These emails are sent to me every day (nightly batch run status) and there is a server rule to move these message from my Inbox to a folder.

What I need to do is delete all of the messages in this folder for every day except Friday. I am able to create a new formula field that I can calculate the day of the week based upon the date, and display it as a field in the folder.

Here is my problem. Once I create this field, I cannot sort on it because it is a formula!!!!!!!!

I figured that this would be the easiest way to delete all the messages if I can sort on the Day, then just SHIFT-click an entire block of messages to delete.

Is there anyone out there who can give me and idea of how to accomplish this?

Thanks.
