Many of us spend hours a day on Microsoft Outlook to search emails and yet could not find it. Do you know with two simple tips you can save 20 minutes a day and 700 hours a year?
The first tip is to use Microsoft Search. Most of us simply type any content we want to search, such as senders, email subjects. However, you can refine your search by specifically defining the sender, the email subject and the date received. For example, I would like to search an email from "Ken" "this year" with a subject of "Exchanger" and an attachment. I simply type the information in the appropriate box and I get the email I need instantly. To get the all the fields you are interested, simply go to Search-->Refine-->More.
The second tip is to show your emails as conversations. You probably just received an email from someone, but you could not find the related emails on the same subject. To view all the emails in a single thread, you simply go to View-->Messages-->"Show as Conversations". As you can see, I get all the related emails instantly.
With these two tips, you can save 20 minutes a day and 700 hours a year. Congratulations.
