Course Description:
Every day, millions of email messages are exchanged among people within and between organizations. Email has a ubiquitous presence in the lives of many, and it's likely that email technologies will continue to evolve with the changing needs of workplaces. After all, email communication has not been replaced, or its growth slowed, as many predicted with the rise of social media and the widespread adoption of mobile technologies. Many organizations have implemented mail management systems that combine the back-end power of Microsoft® Exchange Server and the front-end intuitive user interface of Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2016.
In this course, you will customize command sets, configure mail accounts, set global options, perform advanced searches, apply filters to intercept mail and control spam, create rules to automate many management tasks, work with calendars and contacts, manage tasks, protect data with archiving and data files, as well as share and delegate access to your workspaces. In short, you'll work with a wide range of features and options and, in so doing, understand why Outlook is a leading personal management system.

·       Clean Up Conversation – keeps the last message in a conversation string. All previous emails in the conversation are deleted.
·       SHIFT Delete – will permanently delete instead of sending it to the Deleted Items folder where you would have to delete it again.
·       Empty Deleted Items folder – quickly delete all items in the Deleted Items folder by right-clicking on the folder, then left-click on Empty Folder.
·       Quick Steps – Use Quick Steps to create shortcuts to things you do often like moving items to a folder, or sending a new message.
