Outlook Tutorial

8/2/2019 Outlook Tutorial

1/21

INTRODUCTION:

Outlook Express is a free e-mail program that rivals the very best email clients available. It

supports POP, IMAP and now HTTP mail and now you can send and receive e-mail messagesfrom all your work and personal accounts-even Web-based e-mail accounts such as MSN

Hotmail-without leaving Outlook. Also included are tools for importing existing mail settings,

address book entries, and e-mail messages from Netscape, Eudora, Microsoft Exchange Server,

the Windows Inbox, and Microsoft Outlook. Requires Internet Explorer to be installed first.

Outlook Express is the easy way to send e-mail and participate in Internet newsgroups. Even if

you've never sent e-mail before, Outlook Express makes it simple by including a setup wizard to

help you get started. If you're switching from another e-mail program, the import function lets

you transfer your address book and messages quickly and easily. Outlook includes strong

features for managing contacts, calendar, and to-do lists. Its excellent address book has a

surprising number of fields. The personal information manager lets you create custom contact

views and click on contacts in the address book to see meetings you've scheduled with them.

Outlook has exceptionally powerful searching features and offers an easy-to-use, form-based

approach to filter creation. Wizards make Outlook the easiest program in this roundup for adding

e-mail accounts. Welcome extras include stationery and the ability to insert voting buttons in

mail.

The exact features available in Outlook vary according to whether you use it with POP and

IMAP accounts or with a Microsoft Exchange server. With Exchange, you can schedule group

meetings, and by default, your e-mail will be kept on the server (as with IMAP accounts).

OutLook Security:

The security woes of Outlook, however, are legion, and it's the e-mail software most worm and

virus writers target. Microsoft's infuriating response: Outlook simply blocks certain attachments.

If someone sends you an EXE file, the newest versions of Outlook won't let it through, and


2/21

without mucking around in the Windows Registry, there's nothing you can do about it.

To download Outlook Express, you must first download a small setup file to your hard disk.

Once downloaded, just run the file and the download and install process will begin. The Outlook

Express download size should be around 1.5 Megabytes.

Microsoft Outlook makes it easier to manage your e-mail messages, contacts, tasks, and

appointments from one place. Access Web-based e-mail accounts. Send instant messages.

Schedule meetings. Whatever your communication needs, Outlook lets you work smarter and

faster.

Outlook takes the guesswork out of setting up meetings and coordinating schedules. New

features make it easy to manage and view your personal and team schedules, so you spend less

time planning and more time preparing.

Outlook can help you manage your time and information more effectively, while making it easier

to create and share information with others.

Lets the Game Begin

Features of OutLook

AutoComplete Addressing

As a user enters an e-mail address, Outlook automatically recognizes it and completes the name

based on previously sent e-mail to the recipient. This enables users to quickly send e-mail to

others without spending time searching for e-mail addresses.

Type in the e-mail of someone you have previously sent e-mail to and Outlook automatically

completes the address.


3/21

Outlook Hotmail Support

Users can now easily access e-mail from their Hotmail account (or other Internet mail providers)

directly from within Outlook. This enables users to quickly and easily send mail out from any of

their e-mail accounts without leaving their Outlook application.

Select E-mail Accounts from the Tools menu.

Select Add a New E-mail Account.

Select HTTP.

Add your Hotmail account or any other HTTP mail account that supports the DAV protocol.

Send (E-mail Account Selection)

Users with multiple e-mail accounts (such as a Hotmail account and an account on Exchange)

can choose on a per message basis what account to use to send their message.

When the user chooses an account, an information bar shows which account is used to send the

mail. Explicit rules are built in to determine which account should be used as the default (e.g.,

when replying to a message, the account is used that the message was originally sent to) or users

can assign a default account for Outlook to use.

Set up multiple e-mail accounts (e.g., Hotmail and Exchange) from E-mail accounts under the

Tools Menu.

Create a new e-mail message. Select the Account drop-down menu (next to the Send button) to

choose which account to use.

Wordmail


4/21

The newest version of Outlook makes significant improvements to Wordmail (which is now the

default e-mail editor) in reliability, message size, and feature set. More specifically, when using

HTML mail format, Wordmail removes document specific tags that were previously included so

that users could edit it back in Word.

This reduces the overall size of the e-mail message. Wordmail also enables users to take

advantage of a variety of new Word enhancements.

Make sure Word is your default e-mail editor by selecting Options from the Tools Menu. On the

Mail Format tab, make sure the "Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages" check box is

selected.

Smart Tags in Wordmail

With Word as the default e-mail editor, users can take advantage of the Smart Tags that are

available in Word (including AutoCorrect, Paste Options, Address, Name, Date, or customizable

Smart Tags). Smart Tags are context-sensitive buttons that give users the options and

information they need at the time they need them.

Example 1: Paste an Excel spreadsheet into the mail to access the Paste Options Smart

Tag. Example 2: Type in a name of a contact from Outlook to access the Name Smart Tag.

Message Format in Wordmail

Users can easily change between different mail formats on the fly and on a per message basis. By

giving users the option to switch between HTML, rich text, or plain text, they can more easily

format their message so that the recipient can have the best viewing experience.

Create a new mail message using Word as your default e-mail editor. From the message format

drop-down menu, select the format you want.


5/21

Mailbox Cleanup

Users can quickly view the size of their mailbox, search for files by size or by age, and then

delete, move, or archive those files to clear up space. Exchange users can also automatically be

notified when they are approaching their mailbox size limit and choose from the above options

for cleaning up their mailbox. From the Tools menu, select Mailbox Cleanup.

Text Auto Cleanup

Outlook can now automatically clean up plain text e-mail formatting that often contains extra

line breaks that make the message difficult to read.

Outlook automatically removes the extra line breaks (an option exists to turn this off as well)

when a user opens an e-mail message, previews the message in the preview pane, or prints the

message so that it is easier to read. Automatically takes place when a plain text e-mail message is

opened.

Find

Users can more easily find important messages, appointments, or tasks with the improved Find

bar that enables users to access features previously available only with Advanced Find. For

example, users can specify which folders they want to search for on their computer or on a

network. Furthermore, both Find and Advance Find enable users to stop a search that's in

progress and restart where it left off.

From the Standard Toolbar, select the Find button. Preview Pane The preview pane enables users

to follow a hyperlink, respond to meeting requests, and display properties of an e-mail address

without requiring the user to open the message. Turn Preview Pane on by selecting Preview Panefrom the View menu.

LDAP Address Book


6/21

The LDAP address book is more sophisticated with advanced searching and faster responses to

lookups:

An LDAP directory now has many of the same search features as found with the Exchange

Global Address List, along with entry details.

Paged Results Support: allows crolling through directory entries from servers returning Paged

Results.

Support for Virtual List (VLV): entries can be browsed as easily as with the Exchange Global

Address List.

Select an LDAP directory (where available) in the "Show Names From the:" drop-down menu in

the Address Book dialog box.

In the address book dialog box, select Find from the Tools menu to apply the advanced searching

options.

Double-click an entry in the LDAP directory for details.

Contact Address Book (CAB)

The Contact Address Book makes use of the Contact's "Display Name." With this column, you

can look up contact entries more efficiently, especially with multiple entries for the same contact

name. When using the new Local Web Storage File, this CAB has full Unicode support. Select

Address Book from the Tools menu. Drop-down "Show Names From the" menu and select

Contacts. Notice that Display Name has been added as a field.

Synchroniza-tion Improvements

Outlook is now easier to set up for use in an offline mode with a single command, and all

protocols (IMAP, POP, MAPI) can be synchronized at once. Different accounts can also be

synchronized in different ways, depending on whether users are offline or online. Users can also

choose which information from the mail (the header only or the entire email) is synchronized.


7/21

And, a new Progress Reporting feature notifies the user how long the synchronization process

takes. The user can choose to selectively cancel different account synchronization if wanted.

From the Tools menu, select Send/Receive Settings. Select the desired action. Exchange Server

Connection Improvements

The Outlook version 2002 connection to Exchange is more efficient, so users can download their

mail faster. This is possible due to a decreased number of "round trips" that the data must go

through, as well as less data that is being transferred over the connection than with previous

versions of Outlook. Furthermore, the connection to the directory is also more resilient, meaning

that if the connection to the Global Catalog server is disrupted for any reason, Outlook asks for a

referral to another directory server and connects to that server seamlessly.

Outlook Virus Enhancements

Outlook now helps users and organizations safeguard against malicious viruses by: Blocking e-

mail attachments associated with unsafe files.

Preventing programs from gaining programmatic access to a user's address book or sending mail

on the user's behalf. Users are notified and given the option of continuing with the action.

This prevents propagation and spreading of the virus to other users. Giving administrators

options to customize the above settings to meet the security needs of their organization.

Functionality automatically takes place.

Document Recovery

Wordmail gives users the option of saving their current files at the time an error occurs in the

application. As a result, users spend less time recreating their mail messages and spend more

time working. You can only access this if an error occurs. Choose to recover the document and

click close. Open the recovered document from the document recovery pane. Integrated

Corporate/Workgroup and Internet Mail Only Modes.


8/21

Outlook is no longer divided into separate Internet and Exchange modes. The new E-mail

Accounts wizard enables you to create several e-mail account types (Exchange, POP3, IMAP,

HTTP, LDAP, MS Mail, etc.) in one profile. Multiple profiles are still supported. You can

choose the account you want to send and receive messages for. Outlook is no longer divided into

separate Internet and Exchange modes.

OutLook Security

Protect Your Inbox from E-Mail-borne Viruses

If you use Microsoft Outlook, you can protect yourself from the kinds of e-mail virus or worm

attacks that make headlines by unleashing damaging code and disrupting business operations.The Outlook E-Mail Security Update can block access to certain file types that could spread

dangerous code, whether you use Outlook 2000 or Outlook 98. If you use Outlook version 2002,

you already have this type of protection.

How to Maintain Your OutLook Express

Store Folders

Automatic Maintenance (background compaction)

OE has an automatic maintenance feature that is enabled by default. It is designed to wait until


10/21

OE has been idle for several minutes, and then begin to compact your mail and news folders in

the background. The options to control this are found under Tools| Options| Maintenance.

Those options are for newsgroup files, by the way, and not for mail folders. Also, the option to

"delete messages after xx days" refers only to message bodies, not to message headers. OE will

delete old news headers only when they are removed from the server. However, I cannot

recommend using this automatic tool. If your computer should crash, or your phone line drop, or

your power supply be interrupted while OE is busily compacting files, the result can be truly

ugly.

The entire message store can become corrupt, meaning you could lose all your mail messages.

Furthermore, many people notice a serious drop in their computer's performance each time thebackground compaction begins.

I strongly suggest you turn this feature off right now by removing the check mark for "Compact

messages in the background." Now you need to give some thought as to how you will manage

your files manually. This is not hard to do, but it is easy to forget, and as your files grow in size

you will see OE gradually begin to slow down.

So whenever you notice a performance hit, it's definitely time to clean up your store. But it'ssafer to make file maintenance a regular event. Once a week or so will keep OE in prime

condition.

Compact Your OE Folders

Like most database programs, OE does not actually remove an item from a *.dbx file when you

delete a message. Instead it merely tags the item for removal at a later time, mainly when you

next compact your folders.

Until then, the deleted message is till occupying disk space, which can cause OE to perform

more slowly when accessing the *.dbx file. To recover disk space and keep your files as small as

possible, you need to compact your folders regularly.


11/21

In the OE Folder list (View| Layout| Folder List), click Outlook Express so that no mail or news

folder is open. Now click File| Work Offline so that no new messages will be arriving. Finally,

click File| Folder| Compact All Folders.

This process can take several minutes and you should not attempt to use your computer until it is

finished. If an error occurs, such as "cannot compact, folder in use", just close OE, wait a second

or two, then re-open OE and begin the process again. This will compact not only your news

folders, but also all of your mail folders and the all-important Folders.dbx.

To compact only news folders, click Tools| Options| Maintenance| Clean up Now, then click

Compact. To compact a single mail folder, just click once on the folder to select it, and then clickFile| Folder| Compact.

To compact a single newsgroup folder, right-click on the newsgroup, then click Properties| Local

File| Compact

Clean Up Your OE News Folders

To clean up your news folders, click Tools| Options| Maintenance| Clean Up Now. There youwill see 4 buttons along with a brief description of their functions.

You can choose to apply any of these actions to all local folders, meaning Hotmail, IMAP and

newsgroup folders, by leaving the default selection for "Local file(s) for: Outlook Express".

To clean up all groups on an account, click the Browse button and select the account. To select

just one group, Browse to that group (although you can get to this much faster in that case simply

by right-clicking the newsgroup in the Folder list and selecting Properties| Local Files). If you

apply Remove, Delete or Reset, it is important that you also apply Compact to all folders that

you have cleaned up.

You might notice that there is one very important feature missing here. There is no button to

delete only headers and messages that are older than a specified number of days, or only those

headers and messages marked as Read or Ignored.


12/21

This is not terribly troublesome on servers with a short retention time where messages are

removed from the server after just a few days. But on servers with long retention times, like the

90 days typical of newsgroups on the Microsoft public news server, the buildup of old headers

with or without message bodies can slow OE to a crawl, and in extreme cases, even crash the

computer.

Outlook Express More Efficiently with

Shortcuts

An Email Session Cut Short

Outlook Express comes with pretty (or, at least: simple, elegant) button bars and menus. These

make it relatively simple to handle your email with the mouse. As soon as you are about to write

a message, however, using the mouse turns into a frustrating (for you) and funny (for your

coworkers) endeavor. So why not keep your fingers at the keyboard while dealing with your

daily dose of email and save both some time and some calories

Checking Mail

Let us begin by starting Outlook Express. Having done that, you can give your mouse some

cheese so it doesn't get bored. First, we want to see if we have new mail. In OE's main window

we type CTRL-M; this means to hold down the key labeled "Ctrl" while pressing "m". Outlook

Express checks our email accounts for new mail and -- provided we have some -- sends us to the

latest message

Browsing and Deleting

This message is not particularly interesting. Let's switch to the previous one by pressing CTRL-


13/21

. Another very handy combination takes

us to the next unread email: CTRL-U. Since there is little point in keeping uninteresting

message, let's delete them. Yes, you can drag them to the dustbin and drop them there; or select

select "Delete" from the context menu; or click on that red cross in the button bar.

The fastest way to get rid of unwanted mail is to press either DEL or CTRL-D (you may find the

latter more comfortable although it requires you to press two keys instead of one).

Shortcut Key Tables

These were just some of the shortcuts available in Outlook Express. Below you find some more

complete lists. Some of the described shortcuts are not in the help file, BTW

Backing up your Microsoft Outlook Filesand Settings

There are three basic approaches to backing up your Outlook Express files and settings.

The Simple Backup is only for your email folders and mail and news accounts settings, and it is

indeed pretty simple.

The Complete, or Clone, Backup is for everything in your OE Identity, including email folders,

news folders, message rules, blocked senders, even your current view settings. It is very complex

to describe, but takes about 2-5 minutes to complete in practice.

The Partial Backup is for groups of messages, message rules only, blocked senders, etc.

The Simple but Limited Backup

By using this method, you will be able to restore all your mail folders, all y our mail and news

accounts settings, and your address book for one Identity. You will lose all your subscribed

newsgroups, all message rules, all Block Senders entries, all custom views and all custom

toolbars. If you use multiple Identities, you must repeat this process for each Identity, or else use

the Complete Backup for Advanced Users.

1. Backup your OE mail and news accounts.

Click Tools| Accounts, select the account to backup, and then click the Export button. This will

store the account's settings in a *.iaf file at the location you specify. You can later import any

*.iaf file by clicking the Import button. Your account password is stored in encrypted form in the

*.iaf file. Be sure to export all mail and news accounts, and any user-created LDAP accounts you

might have created. The default LDAP accounts will always be created fresh when you install or


18/21

upgrade OE.

2. Backup your address book.

Open the Address Book and click Help| About Address Book to see the full path to the current

*.wab file used by all your Identities. Find that file in Windows Explorer and copy it to your

backup media. You can later import the backup by opening OE and clicking File| Import|

Address Book.

I recommend that you create an emergency backup of the Address Book as well. Open the

Address Book by double-clicking the *.wab file. Click File| Export| Other Address Book, and

then click on Text File (Comma Separated Values). Click the Export button, specify a destinationfolder, and click Next. Select all the fields shown for a complete backup, then click Finish

The resulting *.csv file can later be imported using File| Import| Other Address Book| Text File

(Comma Separated Values).

Note: If you do not see a path to a *.wab, then you have set OE to share the Contacts folder in

Outlook98 or Outlook2000, and you should consult the Outlook Help file for instructions on

backing up your entire Outlook *.pst file.

3 Backup your mail folders.

In OE, click Tools| Options| Maintenance| Store folder to see the path to the folder currently

being used for your message store. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Store. Copy the

Folders.dbx file and all .dbx files to your backup media. It is not necessary to copy any .dbx file

because OE will not import newsgroup messages, only messages in mail folders.

You must include Folders.dbx in your backup or you will be unable to import the mail folders!

To restore your mail folders, open OE and click File| Import| Messages| OE5 (or OE6 if OE5 is

not listed)| Message store directory, then browse to the folder containing your old messages. Do

not copy the backup files into the current OE message store or the import will fail. If you saved

your backup on a CD or a networked drive, you will need to copy the backup to your hard disk

and verify that none of the *.dbx files are marked as "read only", or the import will fail


19/21

The complete BackUp (Clone Your Identity for Advanced Users)

Here you will read how to backup and restore all items needed to make a perfect clone of your

existing configuration. You can use this process for backup purposes, or when upgrading to a

new computer, or to clone your configuration on another computer, or to allow multi-boot

systems to have a single shared OE Identity.

Don't let the length of these instructions put you off trying this method. In practice the entire

process takes no more than 5 minutes. In all honesty, you can download shareware utilities that

will do exactly what this procedure does, but they will cost you money and almost the same

amount of time.

Microsoft Outlook Express for UNIX

Microsoft Outlook Express continues to be the best-choice mail and news application for UNIXusers, delivering powerful features with a simple, understandable interface. While standards

support and Microsoft Exchange Server compatibility continue to drive its adoption, the addedsupport for the Internet Explorer 5 HTML rendering engine places Outlook Express 5 for Solaris

blending speed, simplicity and Mac-first innovations with hassle-free technology.

Here's a preview at some of the fabulous new and redesigned features available in Outlook

Express 5!

Improvements, such as the Account Setup Assistant and customizable Address Book, have made

it easier to set up e-mail accounts, send and manage e-mail and keep track of friends and

business contacts.

The application now offers a quick and intuitive new way of addressing e-mail using Address

AutoComplete to send messages to contacts added to the Address Book.

Sending and receiving file attachments in e-mail has never been more seamless as Smart

Attachments encodes for any computer, which ensures files will be accessible by users of either


21/21

the Macintosh or Windows operating systems.

By adding powerful new features, users can concentrate on the messages themselves and not

hassles such as upgrading, filtering unwanted messages, managing many mail accounts and

mailing lists, and retrieving mail at off-peak hours. Take a look at some of these features that

will save you headaches and increase your productivity.

Outlook Express offers complete migration support for major Macintosh e-mail applications, so

there's no risk that users will lose data, time or productivity when upgrading.

The application delivers new features like the Junk Mail filter that automates the task of sorting

e-mail, and takes advantage of the multiuser functionality in Apple's Mac OS.
