Formatting E-mail options
When creating a message,you have three options regarding the manner in which you format the body of the message.
Plain text – any email program can read this type of message.
HTML – formats your message as an HTML document. If the recipient’s email program does not support HTML messages, they will see the HTML code along with the text of the message.
Rich text format (RTF) – if the recipient’s email program does not support RTF messages, the message will be treated as an attachment.
Outgoing Message Options Importance: High button (red
exclamation point) Flags are a way to capture the
readers attention. Flag options are call, read, do not forward, reply to all, follow up, reply, for your information, no response is necessary, forward, or review.
Flagged messages can also have a due date.
Adding a New Entry to the Address Book
Click the Address Book button on the toolbar. Click “New” then “New Contact”. Under the Name tab enter first name, last name, title, nickname,
etc. Using the Display dropdown box, you can select how you want the
new record’s name displayed in your Address Book. In the E-Mail addresses field, type the person’s email address and
click the “Add” button.You can enter more than one email address for a person.

the To: CC: or BCC: button which will automatically open your address book and you just click on the address you want to send to…. This avoids typos.
Sorting Your Email
You can sort your email by clicking on any one of the header buttons.
Creating Email foldersJust as you should not keep all of your paperwork in one
pile on your desk, you should not keep all of your email in your Inbox.Create folders to organize your email.
Click the down pointing arrow to the right of the NEW button on the Standard toolbar, and choose “Folder” to open the Create New Folder dialog box.
Give the folder a name and then determine the location of the new folder.
Now click and drag items from your Inbox into the appropriate folder to help organize your email.
No Fuss E-mails (OE) If you're working in Internet Explorer and you
want to send some quick e-mail without stopping to start up Outlook, just click the Mail button on the toolbar (it's the one that looks like an envelope next to a piece of paper). Then choose New Message from the pop-up menu that appears. The New Message command takes you straight to a New Document window, where you can compose and deliver your message without starting Outlook.
