#9 I Like to Leave Everything in my Main Inbox, Otherwise I Can't Find Emails When I Need Them - Top 10 Mistakes That Cause a Disorganised Inbox
HOW TO OVERCOME #9 - "I like to leave everything in my main inbox otherwise I can't find emails when I need them"
We don't doubt that is true. Most people we meet have real trouble easily finding emails in their inbox.
The Right Outlook teaches multiple searching functions in Outlook guaranteed to help you find what you need quickly and easily.
TIP:
One of them is Find Related.
For example, if you need to find an email that your boss sent you last week, do the following:
Just highlight ANY email from your boss and right click on that email in your inbox.
Select Find Related (about half way down)
Lastly choose "Messages from this Sender".
It will return all the emails you have ever received from your boss - fast! Then look for the one from last week that you need.
If you use Outlook 2019 you can just type your bosses name in to the search bar at the top of the screen, then click on their email address and it will do the same thing.
Now we have removed the reason for you to leave every single email in your inbox because you can use the Find Related function to easily find emails.
You can now start filing emails away feeling comfortable that you can easily find them again when you need them.
