Outlook Tips and Keyboard shortcuts.
Lets face it, most of us spend a LOT of time reading, replying, sorting email. Anything that could possibly save us time while looking through email would be a real help.
Keyboard shortcuts are the tech's best friend, and the most underestimated tool for computer beginners.
Outlook keyboard shortcuts:
F9 - This is the fastest way to force outlook to send / recieve email. Beware, however, this button can become as obsessively used as reloading in first person shooters...
Ctrl + N - Depending on which area of Outlook you are currently in, this shortcut will create a new instance of something. For example, if you are in the mail window, the shortcut will create a new mail message; if you are in the calendar window, the shortcut will create a new calendar entry. Note: To creat a new email message from anywhere in Outlook, use Ctrl + Shift + M.
Ctrl + O - Just like all office applications, this opens the currently selected item.
Ctrl + U - Marks the currently selected item as unread
Ctrl + R - Replies to the current email selected.
Ctrl + F - Forwards the currently selected email.
Ctrl + Y - Opens the navigation box to navigate to another tab.
Ctrl + E - Opens the search box.
Ctrl + J - Opens a new Journal entry and adds the currently selected item to the entry.
F11 - Automatically moves the cursor to the Find Contact text box, allowing you to search for a contact.
F3 - Opens the search window.

Ctrl+3 - Switch to the Contacts view.
Ctrl+4 - Switch to the Tasks list.
