How to Manage your Outlook Mailbox Effectively 

There are many benefits of using email over paper, phone, and face-to-face communications such sending messages whenever you wish. You do not have to wait for the people you need to talk with to be in their offices. Other users can send email messages to you, even if you do not have your email program open. Your messages can be as long as you wish, so you are not limited to the short time typically allowed on some voice mail systems. You can also attach a file (such as a spreadsheet or word processing document) to a message.

Describe some of the issues that can be caused by not properly managing the size of one’s Outlook® mailbox.

What are some ways to organize messages and clean up or reduce the size of one’s Outlook® mailbox?

TEYLOR’S POST: 

 One of the most effective ways to organize your messages would be by creating certain folders for your important mail. Creating folders and using the quick step tools allow us to reduce our mailbox size. Also responding to mail that takes us seconds to reply helps with this as well. If we do not correctly manage our mailbox important mail could be overlooked and ignored.

 We learn from our readings that the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous.  In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 – an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth.  From this research, it’s evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. In consideration with this revelation, identify and name these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them.
