How to organize emails in Outlook

What's this blog post about?

Managing communications primarily via email can become an unexpected part-time job when teaching virtually, but using Outlook's built-in tools can help organize emails and automate tasks. To create a new folder or subfolder, simply right-click on "Folders" and select "Create new folder" or "Create new subfolder." You can also create rules to automatically sort incoming emails into designated folders by clicking "Advanced actions > Rules > Create rule." Additionally, you can pin important emails to the top of your inbox, flag them for easy reference, archive them to delete them permanently, and use Quick Steps to automate repetitive tasks. Labels or categories can be used to categorize emails for hassle-free searches, and Microsoft To Do can be integrated with Outlook to turn emails into tasks. By using these tools, you can streamline your email management and save time.
