Objectifs :

This video aims to teach users how to customize their Outlook workspace by managing the display of different areas, adjusting views, and enhancing message organization for improved productivity.

Chapitres :

Customizing Your Outlook Workspace
Outlook provides various options to manage the display of different areas, allowing users to customize their workspace according to their needs. This customization can be achieved through the View tab, where several options are available.
Changing Message Display
In the Current View group, users can quickly change how their messages are displayed. This includes accessing view management options, creating new views, or adjusting current display settings.
Using Conversation View
Messages can be displayed as conversations by selecting the appropriate option. This feature organizes all messages with the same subject, prompting Outlook to ask whether this organization should apply to the current folder or all folders in the mailbox. Enabling Conversation mode groups emails from the same discussion behind a small arrow, enhancing readability.
Sorting Messages
The Arrangement group allows users to choose how their messages are sorted. By default, messages are sorted by date, but users can adjust this setting to suit their preferences.
Rearranging Panes
The Layout group enables users to rearrange different panes within Outlook. For instance, hiding the Reading Pane can provide better visibility of the message list. Users can read messages by double-clicking on them, which opens the message in a new window. The Reading Pane can be displayed at the bottom or on the right side of the screen.
Utilizing the To Do Bar
The To Do Bar allows users to view another module in their mailbox, such as the calendar. Displaying the calendar provides an overview of upcoming appointments, reducing the need to switch back and forth between the Mailbox and Calendar modules.
Resizing Areas
Different areas within Outlook are resizable. When hovering over the dividing line, the cursor changes, allowing users to adjust the size of the desired areas. Additionally, users can open the current page in a new window, which is useful for pinning messages on one side while having a complete view of the calendar on the other.
