Microsoft Outlook Tip: MailTips

Microsoft Outlook 2010 includes MailTips, which help you avoid common, but potentially costly or embarrassing mistakes. MailTips alerts can be triggered by actions including clicking Reply All to a large recipient list, sending sensitive information to someone outside your organization, or sending a message to someone who is out of office.

The MailTips section does not appear if MailTips are not available for your account.

1. If you have more than one Exchange Server 2010 account in your Outlook profile, click the account in the Apply to this account list.
2. Under MailTips bar display option, click the option that you want.

Do you find that using the keyboard is sometimes quicker than using your mouse? I do. Shortcut keys can help you bypass menus and carry out commands directly.
