Listed below are some tips that may be of help to you to improve your use of Outlook.

Right-click on your Mailbox in the All Mail Folders area.

Select "New Folder"

Type in the name for the folder.

Select the folder you want to contain this new folder (Probably the Mailbox).

That's it. The folder will appear in the folder list (in alphabetical order) when you click OK.

Repeat for any other folders you need for organization.

Place messages in the folder by dragging messages from the inbox and dropping them in the new folder.

You can direct messages into folders using a rule. Call the Helpdesk for assistance with this.

1. Select the email that you would like to delete.
2. Right click on the email and select DELETE.

An alternative method is to select the “X” from the toolbar to delete it while the email to be deleted is highlighted. The following picture shows where the X is located on the toolbar:

3. Be sure to empty your email Deleted Items folder by right clicking on that folder and selecting "Empty Deleted Items Folder".

If you regularly e-mail a select group of people, it's smart to create a distribution list so that you don't have to manually enter everyone's e-mail address for each message.

1. Click on FILE>NEW ENTRY>NEW DISTRIBUTION LIST . Click on OK.
2. Type a name for your group.
3. Click SELECT MEMBERS and then double click on the names that you want to add to the list from the available RFISD mailboxes. You may also change the selection to come from your Address Book.
4. To add someone to your group who doesn't appear in your contact lists, choose New Contact and type that person's details. Then you'll have both a new contact and a new member of your group.
5. When you have completed your list, click on OK , click on SAVE AND CLOSE and then close the address book by clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner of the address book.
6. When you're ready to send a message to your distribution list, create a new message and put your e-mail address in the To field. Click BCC, enter your new group's name. Placing the group name in the BCC field hides the names and e-mail addresses of the group's members from each other and maintains their privacy.
7. Complete and send your e-mail as you would any other message.
