  2. Click View Settings from the menu.
  3. In the Advanced View Settings pop-up, click Columns.
  4. In the Select Available Columns From drop-down menu, choose User-defined fields in Inbox.
  5. In the Available Columns box, select the JX#####ID column (the exact number will be unique to you).
  6. Click Add ->.
  7. Use the Move Up or Move Down buttons to order the new column if desired.
  8. Click OK to commit your changes.
  9. Click OK from the Advanced View Settings to be taken back to the Outlook inbox window.

You can see the column for the JXID displayed. You can now easily scan your inbox to see what has been captured and what has not.
