Creating and Using Rules

Most of us don't want more rules in our lives, but in Outlook rules are used manage the flow of e-mails that hit your Inbox. For example, a rule can be set to look for a specific word or words in the subject line and then move those e-mails to a different folder. This is a common, basic rule, but you can create many different types of rules to manage your e-mails.

Creating and Using Signatures

Using signatures in e-mail messages is commonplace and some companies require employees to do so. When most of us think of signatures in relationship to e-mail, we think of the sender's name, company, address, and contact information at the bottom of the message. But, signatures are not limited to this use and can be a valuable, time-saving tool. Signatures might be one of the most underused productivity tools in Outlook.
