Summary

With Outlook’s power comes a lot of options for you to customize your environment. You have seen many techniques in this chapter to start customizing Outlook to your needs. We looked at the Info tab in the Backstage view, which holds several tools for setting up more connections, managing rules and alerts. In addition to these tools, we discussed the Options dialog box, which allows us to adjust dozens of settings within Outlook.

You need to find a system that works for you and tailor it to your needs. Spend some time exploring your different options and look around, and if you don’t like the way something is laid out, there is probably a way to change it. Be creative, pay attention to the way you use Outlook, and be open to making changes along the way. As you spend more time making these adjustments, you will have insight into how you may need to adjust your setting again, and keep evolving with your Outlook environment.

In the next chapter, we will move away from settings for Outlook and concentrate on how you can take control of your email by creating rules, quick steps, and effectively using categories, as well as understanding how to correctly set up one or multiple email accounts.
