You know by now that I'm using Microsoft Outlook 2000 for my Personal Information Manager (PIM). In most modern e-mail apps, you have the ability to manage several folders. Though, not all clients operate in a multiple document interface (MDI) environment. Outlook, for example, allows you to peruse only one folder at a time. To get around this, open a message in Folder A (and keep it open as you switch to Folder B). You can continue to do this ad nauseam; in essence, you can use the previous and next message buttons in the open message window to flip between messages in its respective folder. You could say that it's finally possible to be in two places at once.
