[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Organizing and Managing Email
Outlook gives you many different tools for managing your email, including folders, rules, categories, and more.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]Using Folders
Folders can help keep your messages
organized. There are four
default
folders in Mail view: Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, and Deleted Items. Just like the folders
on your computer, folders in Outlook can be
nested to create multiple layers of
organization. For example, you might create several folders
within the Inbox folder
to keep track of the different types of messages you receive.
To access
folder commands, locate and select the
Folder tab on the
Ribbon. The Folder tab will appear.
[h=4]
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]New Folder
Click here to create a new folder. Be sure to choose the location for the new folder before clicking this button.
For example, if you wanted to create a new folder within your Inbox folder, you would select the Inbox folder and then click the New folder button.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]New Search Folder
You can use Search folders to automatically find and organize certain types of emails.
For example, you could create a search folder for messages with certain words or phrases. Any
messages matching the criteria will appear in the folder automatically.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Rename Folder
Click here to rename the currently selected folder.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Clean Up Group
The commands in the Clean Up Group will help you keep your folders neat and organized, including
shortcuts for marking all message as read, applying rules, and recovering deleted messages.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Show in Favorites
Click here to include the currently selected folder in the Favorites list at the top of the Navigation pane.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Nested Folders
Just like the folders on your computer, folders can be nested to create multiple layers of organization.
Click the arrow next to a folder to see the folders nested within it. Click again to collapse the folders.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To Create a New Folder:
Before you create a new folder, you must select the
desired location for that folder. In our
example, we'll create a folder within the
Inbox folder to help organize messages containing important
memos.
Locate and select the
Folder tab on the
Ribbon. The Folder tab will appear.
Select the
desired location for the folder and then click the
New Folder command.
The
Create New Folder dialog box will appear. Type the
name for the folder and click
OK.
The folder will be created in the selected location.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Using Categories
Categories can make it easier to find and organize your messages. Applying a category is much
like moving a message to a folder, but with one important difference: you can apply multiple
categories to any message. For example, if you received a message about an upcoming sales meeting, you
could apply both the Sales and Meetings categories. Categories are designed to work any way you
want—it's easy to rename categories, choose new category colors, and even create new categories.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To Customize Categories:
Outlook 2010 offers
six default categories. You may want to
customize these categories before
you start using them to organize your messages, as the default categories may not prove to be especially helpful in sorting your mail.
Locate and select the
Categorize command on the
Ribbon, then select
All Categories... from the drop-down menu.
The
Color Categories dialog box will appear.
Select the desired category and then click the
Rename button. In this example, we'll rename one
of the default categories to help organize messages about upcoming
staff meetings.
Type the
new name for the category. You can also select a
new color if you prefer. Once you're satisfied with the changes, click
OK.
The
customized category will appear in the categories list.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To Apply a Category:
Select the
desired message, then click the
Categorize command on the
Ribbon.
Select the
desired category from the drop-down menu.
The category will be
applied to the message and visible in both the
View and
Reading panes.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To ****** Messages by Categories:
Once you've applied categories to some of your messages, you can easily view all the messages in any given
category by using a
******. For example, you may wish to view messages in the
Meetings category so that
you can see everything that pertains to an upcoming meeting.
Locate and select the
****** E-mail command on the
Ribbon, hover over
Categorized, and then select the
desired category from the drop-down menu.
Messages matching the
selected category will appear in the
View pane.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=3]Applying Rules
Rules can save you a lot of time by automatically performing commands like moving or
deleting messages as they arrive. For example, if you always move emails from a certain
person to a folder, you could create a rule to do this automatically. You can create rules that look for a specific sender, recipient, subject, or
specific words that are contained in the body of the email.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To Create a New Rule:
Locate and select the
Rules command on the
Ribbon and then select
Manage Rules & Alerts... from the drop-down menu.
The
Rules and Alerts dialog box will appear.
Click the
New Rule... button.
The
Rules Wizard will appear. Follow the
instructions to create a new rule.

[h=3]Keeping Your Messages Organized
Even with folders, categories, and rules, it can be difficult to keep up with each message you receive. Review
some of the strategies below to learn how to manage your messages more effectively.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]Using Flags
As you respond to different messages throughout the day, some may prove to be more time-sensitive than
others. If you want to make sure you respond to urgent messages quickly, you can use flags. Flags create a
task associated with the message, which will prompt you with reminders until the task is complete.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To Apply a Flag:
Select the
desired message and then click the
Follow Up command on the
Ribbon.
Choose the
deadline for the task from the drop-down menu.
The flag will be applied. To mark the task as
complete, click the flag and then select
Mark Complete from the drop-down menu.
[h=2]Organizing and Managing Email
[h=4]To Delete Messages Permanently:
When you delete messages from your inbox, they are first moved to the
Deleted Items folder, which
is similar to the
Recycle Bin on your computer. To
delete messages permanently, you will need to
empty the Deleted Items folder.
Locate and right-click the
Deleted Items folder in the
Navigation pane, then select
Empty Folder from the drop-down menu.
A
confirmation dialog box will appear. Click
Yes to continue.
The messages will be
permanently deleted.
