BACK TO SCHOOL - PART 3 - MANAGING YOUR EMAIL

OUTLOOK - Folders

Using Outlook more effectively can help you stay organized and help you use your time more efficiently. Creating folders will help you organize your emails so that you can easily reference them later, and (most importantly) keep emails safe from email purges!

Folders located within the Inbox will be emptied during email purges! In order to store emails safe, they must be moved to a folder located within your main email folder!

OUTLOOK - Rules

A rule in Outlook is an action taken automatically on an email message that meets conditions that you specify. Outlook rules can be used to easily and automatically organize email making sure you don't miss important emails.

Effective use of Outlook rules can even make your folders act as drop boxes to immediately sort emails from students.For example, could create a rule that moves messages with a specific title in the subject to folders designated for that class period or project.

The more you use folders and rules to organize your email, the easier it will be see, save, and search for important messages.
