Outlook projects
Take back control of a crowded inbox and stop double-booking your calendar. Pick a project and build it alongside the page — you will end up with something you actually keep.
An email group so you never type ten names again
Save a set of people under one name — Family, Book Club, Team — and email them all at once.
- A family or friends circle you email regularly
- A club, committee or team
- Any group you currently copy and paste addresses for
An away message that answers email while you are off
Set an automatic reply for a holiday or time away, with dates so it switches itself off.
- Holidays and time off
- A hospital stay or family emergency
- Any stretch where email will go unread for days
A tidy inbox that sorts itself
Set up folders and a couple of rules so routine mail files itself and the inbox holds only what needs you.
- An inbox with thousands of unread messages
- Newsletters burying the one email that mattered
- Finding a receipt or appointment letter months later
