4 What is Outlook? Microsoft Outlook 2010 offers premium business and personal management tools to more than 500 million Microsoft Office users worldwide. With the release of Outlook 2010, you get a richer set of experiences to meet your communication needs at work, home, and school. From a redesigned look to advanced organization, search, communication and social networking features, Outlook 2010 provides you with a world-class experience to stay productive and in touch with your personal and business networks. Although often used mainly as an application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note taking, a journal and web browsing. It can be used as a stand-alone application, or can work with Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SharePoint Server for multiple users in an organization, such as shared mailboxes and calendars, Exchange public folders, SharePoint lists and meeting schedules. There are third-party add-on applications that integrate Outlook with devices such as BlackBerry mobile phones and with other software like Office & Skype internet communication. Developers can also create their own custom software that works with Outlook and Office components using Microsoft Visual Studio. In addition, Windows Mobile devices can synchronize almost all Outlook data to Outlook Mobile. 4 Copyright Swinburne University of Technology March 20, Version 2.0

5 The Ribbon The Ribbon replaces the menu and toolbars at the top of the main Outlook window to give you a more customized work experience.

The standard tabs you see on the Ribbon are organized to display commands relevant to a given task, so that you can find what you need more quickly.

7 Conversation View Improved The improved Conversation View in Outlook 2010 helps you get straight to the relevant facts. It condenses multiple s in a discussion, called a conversation thread, and displays them as single line item even if some messages in the conversation are located in other folders. Not only does this help reduce information overload, but it also helps improve the tracking and managing of related e- mails. And, new conversation management tools can help you save valuable inbox space. View only the relevant information. When you click on a conversation, Outlook shows you the latest message in the conversation. Expand to see earlier, redundant messages, or see individual contributors. Determine if there are multiple messages in the conversation at-a-glance. The message icon for a conversation with more than one message displays multiple envelopes. Store fewer s. All redundant s in the conversation can be quickly eliminated using Clean Up and unique messages will be preserved. Take yourself out of irrelevant conversations. Use Ignore and send the entire conversation, and future messages, to your Deleted Items folder. If you re an Exchange user, when you Ignore a conversation, future messages will be sent to your Deleted Items even if you access your on Outlook Web App or your smartphone. Quickly take action on the entire conversation in just a few clicks.
