Message Organization

Abstract

To fully appreciate the value of Outlook as an organizational aid, you need to employ a variety of key facilities to help you sift, group, and consume information. This chapter will train you in using these features, scrutinizing the following functionality:

• Outlook search folders allow you to view items matching specific search criteria.

• Creating multiple accounts lets you separate information into categories or segregate information from different sources.

• Using Outlook rules and alerts lets you automatically process items into categories, assign them to folders, and be notified when specific events have occurred.

• Outlook’s junk email filter lets you remove clutter from your inbox.

• Using send/receive groups means you can process messages selectively.
