How to use Outlook efficiently?

1. Organize your email

The first step to using Outlook efficiently is to organize your e-mail. You can do this by using folders and labels. Create folders for different subjects, such as work, personal items and subscriptions. Use labels to categorize e-mail messages based on content, such as "urgent" or "next."

2. Use filters

Filters can help you sort e-mail messages automatically. You can create filters based on subject, sender, or date. Filters can help you limit your inbox to the e-mail messages that are relevant to you.

3. Use rules

Rules can help you process e-mail messages automatically. You can create rules to move e-mail messages to a specific folder, mark them as important, or reply with a default text.

4. Use the action bar

The action bar is a handy way to quickly perform tasks on e-mail messages. You can customize the action bar to suit your needs.

5. Use the search feature

Outlook's search feature can help you quickly find email messages. You can search by subject, sender, or content.
