Chapter 4 Pages 184-195

- After reading these pages it showed me more ways to use windows mail. The first thing i found interesting was we have the ability to create new message folders. All you have to do is right click on the inbox folder and a drop box will come up, then scroll down to create new folder. Once you click the create folder dialog box will show up and give you the ability to choose the name of the folder. This can be very helpful when working with email because it can help keep track of where certain message are located. All you have to do is drag the message from its existing location and drop it in the folder you named.

- I found the rules to organize messages very helpful because i never knew that you could set this up. When you set up a message rule windows mail automatically moves certain message to these specific folders. All you have to do is click to tools command on the tool bar and click message rule command. This image will show up and click the appropriate settings.






















- It also talked about deleting message in you emails but i am sure most people know how to do that already. But i found the ability to create contacts important. In windows mail you have the ability to add people contact this would be a good thing to do in case you loose your cell phone or it breaks. Then your not stuck asking everyone for their numbers again its a great back up plan. All you have to do is click new contact and fill in all your friends information. Also you can send messages to a contacts because it has there name and email it will go right to there email once you type in their name. Some programs automatically save someones email once you send something to them. Its a great way for you to save peoples email and other information.
