Finally a video that has a lot of information but isn't 40 minutes long. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
The speed is perfect!
I assume people find it overwhelming as they feel it may be complex, which again makes them forget the simpleness of just pausing the video or simply moving the cursor to play the video at there own desired speed.
There are always more people who like the faster speed of things than like it slow; even walking feels slow so you want to run. Keep the pace please. Love it.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Lillian! Glad you liked the video :)
I appreciate the shortness of the videos but packed with useful content. Thank you
Thanks, Claudia! Glad you like videos. Cheers, Lea
The ctrl+1/2 tip is so awesome!!
Glad you like it :)
I did not expect this video to be so helpful! Every single tip is worth knowing and I appreciate you getting to the point. Thank you, Lea.
Great to hear that and glad you liked the video! Best, Lea
Brilliant! Thank you for this video. I grudgingly use Outlook because my company uses it - but it has gotten better over the years. I like the “to-do” addition in the brand new version - but wish it just integrated into tasks. What I love about this addition is that it integrates with the Planner app that we started relying on while working remotely.
Thanks! Indeed, I believe there is a lot of potential that is still uncovered with cross-integrating different MS tools.. thanks for sharing and all the best, Lea
Thank you very much. There were a few things I picked up that will save me time in my day-to-day work.
You are welcome, Kraig! Glad that you could learn something new! All the best, Lea
Wonderful content, thank you. You do move QUICKLY so I am glad that I can stop the video to take notes. Great job!

Hi Govind, thanks for your feedback and you are very welcome! Glad that you could learn something new. All the best, Lea
Very nice. The delay all email is one I'll definitely be trying from now on. No matter how many times I've tried though, I just can't get used to the idea of threaded conversations. It just makes things more confusing to me for some reason. Rather, I find one email and sort by subject to get them all together.
Hi Scott, thanks for your feedback. I really love having threaded conversations but can also see your point of making it a bit more confusing.. :)
I’m pretty savvy with outlook but I learned how to switch between tabs. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Very helpful video. Thank you. I had to slow it down at certain places when you demonstrated a couple of actions.
Just fantatic tips! Thank you form Australia!
Thanks, Rudi! Greetings to you in Down Under :) Cheers, Lea

Excellent tips, love the final one, so useful!
Thank you for your feedback!
Great tips!! I knew maybe 3 of your tips already. Now I am not sure if I want to share your video with my co-workers, or just look like a wizard. Of course I will share it, but maybe I will wait a day or two. Thanks Lea!
Hi Darcy, thank you so much! Great to hear you could take something away from the video. And sure, maybe just wait a bit and then feel free to share ;) Best, Lea
Summarized, precise and valuable information. Thank you.

Not sure if this was a recent feature but as well delaying delivery which is a pro-active measure of correcting an email, there is also a reactive measure: "Recalling an email"
Simply double click on the email that has been sent and wish to correct, it will open this email on a new window. Click File (top left), and at the bottom middle you will see an option for 'recall' which removes the email from a recipient's inbox
Thanks for sharing. The recall option is not new but certainly very helpful as well :)
you are the best. Thank you
Thanks, Sharif!
Excellent. Very Helpful
Thank you so much!

Hi Piyush, thank you so much for your feedback! Much appreciated and all the best, Lea
good one thanks
You're welcome - thanks!
Hi - Do you know if it is possible to extend the view of the "all day" events in Outlook? Both on-screen as well as print-view. I am only able to see a handful of events, maybe 5-6 max, and then it cuts off. Would love to be able to view all on one screen/ page. Thank you.
That was great!!
Thanks, Nathan!
@@LeaDavid yeah the next day, I set the rule for 2min delay of message! Very helpful
I like the last tip about sending with delay
Glad you found this helpful :)
Hey thanks for the video. I am able to follow for grouping emails through conversations. How to navigate older file in this case? because i will no longer be bale to use search from .
HI Jagdish, to show the grouped, older emails of the email trial you just need to untoggle them by clicking on the untoggle sign on the most recent email. Hope that helps
Simply Awesome thanks Lea :-}
You are welcome, Simon! :)
Thank You for your great videos. I have a question, I have a folder that I have made and put emails in from specific people. Is there a way to have a link in an address book contact that I could click on to take me directly to the folder with all of their emails. Thank You
Hi Larry, that's a very good question I have never asked myself. I have not yet come across that functionality, however, I would work with a workaround and just use the search bar and search for emails from that person and / or sort your folders alphabetically, such that you know immediately where to look for. Hope that helps, Lea
Something I just figured out, if you convert an email to rich text, insert attachments, and then save the email as a Quick Part template, it carries over the attachments. That's going to save me so much time since a lot of my work involves sending the same email with the same attached documents over and over
Hi Mia, thanks for sharing! Glad you found that out and can save so much time :) Best, Lea
Excellent video. I love your voice, tone and efficiency of your words. One question. If we apply your last tip and we would like to send an email immediately, how would we do this, send immediately? Thank you!
Hi Gloriane, thanks for your kind words - really appreciate it! If you want to send an email directly, you go to your outbox, double click on the email and click on the send button. In that case, it should go out immediately. Alternatively, you can define an exception to the rule in outlook and define a string and if that appears in the body of the email, it should be send immediately. Hope that helps - all the best, Lea
highly underrated channel!
Thank you so much!
Powerful content.
Can you please make a vedio for outlook decoration.
Thanks! Will definitely consider that going forward - Best, Lea
Great stuff, can u please share more insights on templates
Thanks, Alok! Will definitely keep that in mind when thinking about future video ideas. All the best, Lea
Appreciated
You are welcome!
thank you
You are welcome, Brenda!
I use Quick Steps combined with Quick Parts instead of templates. I find it easier and even faster than finding my saved templates.
Also a very good combination - thanks for sharing!
Dankeschön
Bitteschön :)
Awesome
Thanks, Malik :)
Very realistic.
Thank you!
Another Outlook tip to copy a meeting: Ctrl-C an existing meeting, Ctrl-V to the new spot. It will still let you modify it before it sends to the recipients.
Fully agree - thanks for adding!
Somehow I'm more than a decade into a career and this is the first time I've had to use Outlook instead of the Google suite. Glad I found this as it's so disorienting!
Sounds great, glad you found the video helpful!
Look at you way to go ....Lea..Thank you very much indeed.
Thanks, Nader! :)
If I archive emails in my one drive, can I include those folders in one drive also when I search in outlook?
Unfortunately, I have never done so myself in the past, so you'd need to try yourself. However, in case you come across a solution / result, I'd appreciate if you can share. Thanks and best, Lea
goo to learn
Glad you like it!
In IBM Lotus Notes - we can create blocks of texts within a single email - which can be expanded or collapsed. It helps to formulate the big emails to smaller sections. Can we do this in Outlook ?
Hi there, that sounds like a great feature. However, I am not aware of something like this in Outlook, unless there are any plug-ins that can do this. Best, Lea
