  3. Email Tips • Surely, there’s got to be a better way! Fortunately, there is. It’s easier than you think, but it begins by making three commitments: • Commit to implementing a better system. • Commit to emptying your inbox daily. • Commit to dealing with each message only once. Taken from http://michaelhyatt.com/2008/06/yes-you-can-stay-on-top-of-email.html

  4. Action Non-Actionable vs Actionable Actionable Non-Actionable

  5. Non-Actionable Messages • Non-Actionable Messages have three possible choices: • Delete the message. • File it for later reference. Might be some valuable information that you could use later. • Keep it for later consideration. Might need to be acted on in the future but nothing needs to be done right now. Taken from http://michaelhyatt.com/2008/06/yes-you-can-stay-on-top-of-email.html

  6. Action Actionable Messages • If the message is an Actionable Message, you also have three choices: • Do - take action on the task now. • Delegate - pass the task along to someone else. • Defer - consciously decide you will do the task later.

  8. Slice the spam • Junk e-mail, often called "spam," can be bothersome and even offensive.

  9. Get familiar with your filter

  10. Get familiar with your filter • Don't waste your time weeding out junk messages. • Use the Junk E-mail Filter and let Outlook do the sorting for you.

  11. How the filter works • Outlook treats a message as junk because of several factors, including the time it was sent, the sender, the names on its To line, and its content. • You always have ultimate control over how much filtering is done.

  12. Where junk messages go • If the filter deems a message to be junk, the message is moved to the Junk E-mail folder. • If the filter mistakenly identifies something good as junk, you can always find it in the folder later. • You can take steps to ensure that the mistake won't happen again. The Junk E-mail folder in the Navigation Pane

  13. Where junk messages go, cont’d. • Once a message has been put into the Junk Email folder you have options on what to do with it • Delete a single message from the folder by selecting it and clicking the Delete button on the Standard toolbar. • To empty the entire folder, right-click it in the Navigation Pane, and then click Empty Junk E-mail Folder.

Your choice here determines the filtering applied to incoming messages. • Use these tabs to view and modify the Safe Senders, Safe Recipients, and Blocked Senders lists.

  18. Senders and recipients: who they are to you Sender: Any e-mail address that you see in the From line of a message. Recipient: Any name that appears on the To, Cc, or Bcc line of a message. Add e-mail addresses to your Safe lists to ensure that the right messages get to your Inbox.

  19. List a domain • Use a domain name in your Safe or Blocked lists: • A domain name in your Blocked Senders List means their messages are spam and will be automatically moved to the Junk E-mail folder. • A domain name in a Safe list allows all messages with that domain to pass directly to your Inbox. The domain name is the part of an e-mail address after the @ sign.
