Organizing your Outlook Email Folders

Hi again folks, Lisa your Outlook Expert talking to you today about organizing your email. Many of us, including me…get 1000’s of emails per week and figuring out a system to keep them managed is a chore on it’s own! But the thing I have found as an email specialist is this…everyone likes doing things their own way, or until I show them a better more managed way.

Here is how it goes. A client calls in because they have issues with their current inbox. Many are exceeding their email server limit, or their Outlook is just slow. I do a review of their email size, their server and their PST folders. While it seems easy enough to do on your own, many clients hire me to do the general clean up and get it done fast and efficiently. And that is what I do. I dive into your emails/folders and create folders per year, then create deleted/sent folders and sub folders as well. I move email off the server to these folders and when I am done, you will see a perfect alignment of your emails folders by year. It actually looks pretty nice and easy to find when you search!

Today a long term client called in for her “yearly email move” and what we do is move all of her emails from the inbox to a new 2014 folder so her inbox is clean and ready for this year. This is a smart way to get your emails organized and keep your inbox tidy.
