Microsoft Outlook: Rules, Categories & Flags

Rules to Automatically Manage Emails, Using Categories and Flags

Rules are what Outlook uses to help you automatically process emails and reduce inbox clutter. Categories do exactly that…help you categorize your Outlook content, making it easier to group like items. Flags can serve as helpful reminders. We’ll learn how to use all these tools to make your inbox – and mind – clutter-free. These elements exist in any version of Microsoft Outlook though their locations and applications may vary depending on your version. I do my best to point out any variations.

This is the third session in our A Better Way to Use Outlook course but can be watched alone, if this is all you need right now.
