Is there a hotkey to navigate messages in an email thread in Outlook 2010?

Question

In Outlook message threads, there are links in the courner that let you jump to different messages in the thread (First, Previous, Next, Last). Is there a hotkey to use these links without clicking on them?

Answer 1

No.

As an alternative, you can configure Outlook to let you press Spacebar to navigate/read an entire message thread:

1. Open Outlook's Options
2. In the Mail group scroll down to the Outlook panes section and click Reading Pane...
3. Select the option Single key reading using space bar

With this enabled, while reading a message in the Reading Pane, press Space repeatedly to scroll through the message, one page at a time.
