Now the screen that we're looking at, at this time is called outlook today. And I like outlook today, because it's going to show me it's going to show me my calendar, my tasks, and my messages all on one screen. Let me show you how you can have outlook today show up. As soon as you go into Microsoft Outlook. It's just a convenience tool. So when you're in Outlook, you come down here and you pick on the three dots.

By the way, sometimes during the session, I'll make my mouse do that. So you can find the mouse that way. So I'll pick on the three dots. And I'll pick on the word shortcuts. And then one of the shortcuts is called outlook today. So I'm going to click on that.

And then you'll see what I'm looking at here. You'll see the outlook today. Now if you want that to come up all the time when you go into Microsoft Outlook, here's what you do. You pick an outlook. Today, and you go over to the right, and you pick on the Customize outlook today. And then on this window, you click on this box where it says when started go directly to Outlook today.

So that way every time you go into Outlook, it'll show you that screen. This kind of gives you a summary of what you're doing. You can choose the folders that will display the number of days in your calendar. And then you can show different items for your tasks. And there's different styles of Outlook today as well. So you can try some of this.

At this point, I'm going to click on save changes. So every time I go into Outlook, I see outlook today just kind of gives me a summary of what's going on. We're going to go into the mail application, of course, and we'll pick on the inbox. So it's starting to be towards the end of the year. And maybe you want to give yourself a fresh start for the new year. So let's talk about ways how we can manage your inbox.

So understand you could sort on any one of these columns. So in all of Outlook, when you click on the column heading, then you can click on the column heading, it'll sort by that column. All right, so just remember, you can sort in any column like that. Now, if I click on the column a second time, it was sort in reverse order. So if I pick on the word received right there, that'd be the receive they. One thing they might want to see is if there's any older emails, so if I put in the word received the second time, now the newer ones will be at the bottom and the old ones will be off top.

So I'm going to expand that column, see how I have the black cross. And then I see summer from 2017. So maybe I can delete those or make a folder for those older ones. So why don't we do that? Why don't we make a folder. So to make a folder I'm going to write there's numerous ways to make a folder, I'm going to right click on my email address over here.

And I'll pick a new folder. So I'm going to call the folder 2017, for example. And then I'll move the ones from 2017 into that folder. So one thing that you might want to do to manage your email is to sort it by the receive date over here. And if I see some that are older, then maybe I can put those into a different folder and get them out of my inbox. You know, make sure that I've processed those emails.

So that's one thing that we can start to do. By the way, you can pick more than one at a time. If I click on this email, and then holding down my shift key, I can scroll down and then pick on this one. And now all of those are selected so I can Move them all at the same time. So now remember, you can sort on any column by clicking on the column heading. Now another thing that you might want to do is sort and get rid of the ones that are larger files.

So I'm going to pick on the word size right there, and then the smaller ones will be up top, and the bigger ones will be at the bottom. Now the bigger emails are almost always the ones that have attachments. So if you notice the size are getting bigger and bigger. And then we'll see some the ones with the paperclips Of course they have attachments. Let me give you some ideas of how to manage your attachments. So I sent this email to myself earlier today with the multiple, the multiple attachments, although here's one with a single attachment.

So when I have the email with the attachment, you can see how that one right now says 202 Hello
