Outlook Inbox

Outlook 2013 that comes along with the Microsoft Office is an email service from Microsoft. The service has been spruced with newly introduced features and new intuitive design. The new features and the new look of the Outlook inbox allows you to perform various tasks easily enabling you to keep things organized.

Useful features of Outlook Inbox

The newly designed Outlook inbox is very pleasing to the eyes while also being quite functional. The email service has adopted a more minimalist approach. The looks and functions of Outlook email are more or similar to the other popular email services such as Gmail and Yahoo. However, those that wish to stay with the earlier settings of Outlook email can opt to do so.

Outlook inbox is built with some useful tools that help in managing it. You can now delete the unwanted messages more quickly than before. The flag icon on the inbox now has a neighbor ‘X’ that can be used to sort emails. Another important feature that is very useful while reading emails is that of tweaking the inbox to show up to three lines of the text. This is definitely an improvement from the earlier versions of Outlook where only a few words from the email text were displayed. This ability to tweak the inbox is highly useful for users that receive hundreds of messages daily as this allows them to scan the messages quickly and filter the important ones from the irrelevant ones without opening each of the emails.

Often people tend to forget to attach files that are to be sent along with the email. Outlook 2013 very smartly displays messages or warnings in this regard. If there is a mention of an attachment in the body of the email without any actual attachment, the email service issues warnings regarding this.

Another very important and useful feature introduced to the Outlook inbox is the ability to switch between the mail window and four tools that are often used. It is seen that while you are in the mail window, the email services do not allow you to perform any other task. However, Outlook 2013 does away with this problem by not only allowing you to check each of the specific tools that are Mail, People, Calendar and Tasks but also show a preview of any upcoming meetings, important tasks or messages on the social networking platforms.

Therefore, the Outlook inbox has not only become smarter but is highly functional as well. You can tweak it as per your convenience to keep things organized.
