Outlook: 7 Keyboard Shortcuts worth Their Weight in Gold

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m the keyboard/shortcut queen. (Queen/fanatic – it’s a fine line). There’s a reason for this…it is fast(er) and I think that, as we get older – it keeps us sharp.

Outlook: Flagging Outgoing Messages

Sending an email to someone and want to make sure you stay on whatever task or question you have asked them? FLAG the outgoing email.

• Add a flag to an email – which will simply place an item in your To Do list. A flag will simply add the subject (of the outgoing email) to your To Do list. It will stay there until you mark the task as done;
• Add a reminder to an email – which will also add the subject (of the outgoing email) to your To Do list – but it was also cause a pop-up reminder to appear – just like a calendar appointment reminder;
• Add a reminder to the email that causes the reminder to be added to the recipients email program.
