Outlook Tips - Correcting old Winnefox contacts in your address book

Organizing messages helps to reduce clutter in your Inbox, and to make it easier to find the messages you want. It's very useful when you are subscribed to a listserv. I'll describe how to do it with the listserv Web4Lib, but the process is the same for any message criteria you wish to sort by.

How to:

Click the Inbox button:

Inbox button

Click the Organize button:

Click on the message containing the items you want to organize by:

Organize screen

Choose the fields according to how you want to organize the messages.In this case, I want every message coming from the address web4lib(at)sunsite.berkeley.edu to automatically go into a folder called Web4Lib.Click the box next to the word into and click Other folder. which will bring up this screen:

Select Folder dialog box

Click Inbox, click the New button.

Type Web4Lib, or whatever you want to call the folder.

Click OK, click OK.

Now, every message that meets the criteria you've specified will be automatically moved into that new folder you just created.
