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.

NOTE: This feature requires a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 account.

Turn MailTips On or Off

1. Click the File tab.
2. Click Options.
3. Click Mail.

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.
