Microsoft Outlook is a part of the Microsoft Office suite that allows for personal information management. It is an email application that also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taking, journal, and web browsing.
The company included a mobile application for smartphone users that works well on Android and iOS products. However, on Twitter yesterday, 14th January 2020, Microsoft asked users to share their tips and experiences since using the tool.
This is likely to help them make necessary updates if needed and also find out where they have been doing well. It will be useful to others to see some uses they have not been exploiting. The tweet said:
What are your best Outlook productivity tips?

A user tweeted in response that creating a search folder is important for many reasons. Jen said:
If there’re certain things you search your email for regularly / want to have quick access to, but don’t want to move out of the folder they currently reside (like emails from your boss), create a search folder

Another Microsoft Outlook user mentioned that the delete option is quite more useful than many recognise. In his tweet, Sebastian said:
Immediately delete any email that you read, if there no real need to store it, to avoid wasting time opening it a second time. If you need to store, have a good storage concept behind #Outlook #Productivity

The Outlook recognises that humans are imperfect, thus prone to errors. There is actually a settings option that allows you to go through sent mails one last time before it goes. Thanks to this tweet:
Delay all outgoing emails by 20seconds. Gives you Time to correct and Edit errors. Exception for emails marked as important.

Although already available on PlayStore, the company also warns that it is still in the testing stages and users should report feedback to make it better.
