Did you know? Since Outlook 2007 you can hide or display the Navigation Pane (at the left side of the screen) by clicking Alt+F1.
Use Alt + F2 to toggle the display of the To-Do Bar at the right side of the screen.
Ctrl + F1 hides or displays the Ribbon, this doesn’t work in the main Outlook window, but it can help to free up some space when editing a Task Item or other item.
Did you know that using a simple [w] in your emails can greatly improve the quality of your life? Read this step-by-step explanation for Microsoft Outlook to find out how this works exactly.
If you delegate, order, or ask anything by email, you can instruct Outlook to add that email to a Waiting For list, just by adding a simple [w] to the body of the email.
A [w] at the bottom of your email is so inconspicuous, that most people will not even notice it. However, it can be a powerful tool to keep your Waiting For list up to date and your mind at rest.
To enable this feature, we’ll have to create a new WaitingFor-Email folder and add a rule.
I copied this description from my webpage at http://waiting-for.com. I built that website to inform others about the [w] and encourage you to do the same if you want.
If you receive a lot of mails each day, it can be quite handy to see immediately if a mail was sent to you directly, or if you’re just on the CC list.
In Outlook you set this up like this.
