Microsoft Outlook 2010 The newest e-mail and calendaring client for Windows All your e-mail together in one place Allows the use of Resource Calendaring Improvements from Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 Multiple Accounts Conversation View Faster More reliable Microsoft Outlook 2010 was created specifically for Windows and is the newest e-mail and calendaring client. One great thing about Windows is that they created a seamless integration so its completely easy to set up your account without any hassles. All of your e-mail will be in one place, even if you have multiple users. The calendar interface does allow you to use resource calendaring. And there has been a significant improvement in reliability and functionality from Outlook 2003 and 2007 .

The E-mail Interface Quick Access Toolbar Ribbon Navigation Pane ‘New’ button Navigation Pane Email List Includes emails from all accounts unless specified Can view as conversations Reading Pane Help Now that you’ve set up your account we want to take a look at one of the main reasons that you will be using Outlook. Email. When looking at the interface for E-mail you will notice that there is a Quick Access Toolbar that is customizable as well as that there is a ribbon which is a standard toolbar in all of Microsoft’s products. On the far left is your Navigation Pane, and within this pane is your accounts and folders. Also in your Navigation Pane, at the bottom, is where you can Navigate between your e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes. Next to the Navigation Pain is your Email List. An important item to note is that if you do not have a specific e-mail account chosen in the navigation pane, all of your emails from all of your accounts will appear in the email list. Then, next to your Email List is your reading pane. This allows you to select an email and read it right there instead of having to double click and open it.

Out-of-Office: Tools – Out of Office E-mail Signatures: Outlook – Preferences – Signature Color Categories: Ribbon E-mail Delegation: Outlook – Preferences – Accounts – Advanced – Delegates GAL: Email Can categorize by color category.

The Calendar Interface Ribbon (Standard Toolbar) Date Navigator My Calendars List Calendar Pane The second most important reason that we are using Outlook is because of the Calendar. When you open your calendar you will notice some differences and similarities to the e-mail interface. The ribbon has remained at the top of the program. And on the far left where your navigation pane was, is now still a navigation pane, but for your different calendars. Also you will notice that at the bottom of the navigation remains that menu for transitioning between your E-mail, Calendars, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes. Then the main screen is the Calendar pane. This is where you can view what is going on in the day, the work week, the normal week, and the month.

Contacts, Tasks, and Notes Server Based Integration with other Outlook components Flag on emails become tasks Contacts can be created multiple ways Can add a contact from e-mails quick and easy Tasks help with organization and can be viewed by multiple people Finally, the third aspect of Outlook is the Contacts, Tasks, and Notes. Each of these items are server based meaning that they will follow you from your computer to computer, on your mobile devices, and if you choose to use the online client. Not only this, but they are also integrated with your other outlook components. Meaning if you flag an email it can become a task seamlessly. Contacts are incredibly easy to create and there are multiple ways to create a contact based on what is most comfortable for you. Tasks and Notes are a nice feature to use. They help with organization and are able to be viewed by multiple people. So an example for me is if I’m working on a group project I can share my tasks for that project with others so that we can all see what needs to be done.

Contacts, Tasks, and Notes Demonstration ‘New’ Button Creating a contact Through a specific e-mail Through ‘Add a Contact’ Creating a contact group Making a task Writing a note Like I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of ways to crate a contact. But, there are two that are the easiest. One way is through the specific e-mail. If you receive an e-mail from someone, and want to add them to your contact list, you simply put your mouse over the email address, and click on the far right button in the window that appears. The other nice and easy way to add a contact is on the ribbon. On the ribbon, the second button from the left, is a menu called “new” when you click on new, you will see that it pops up with all of your options of what you can create. The 4th button from the top is Contact, simply click on that and put their information, and click the “x” in the top left corner when you’re done. The New Menu allows you to create everything pertaining to your email or calendar such as a contact group, a task, note, email, appointment and meeting.
