  • Those were fab! Definitely sharing this with my work TEAM and branch members. So helpful for many of us new to Outlook or coming back to Outlook!! Thanks, Kevin!
  • @DiegoChionna
    I think it's important to mention that if you schedule an email to be sent later via the Outlook client your computer must be kept on and Outlook running, otherwise it will be sent the next time you launch Outlook on your computer. Please, let me know if you have a workaround to this (not the web app)
  • @jillyoung5487
    Quick parts is fantastic! I send out regular reminders with zoom meeting details so it's great to be able to save them all in programme! Up till now i've had loads of sticky notes all over my desktop! Thanks Kevin!
  • @StuartGrayEDU
    Love the Quick Parts! I had previously been keeping "drafts" of regular email templates I would use. This is much cleaner.
  • @chinmay3810
    This was by far the most helpful video. Kevin man you are doing fantastic job in helping us to use these functions at best potential. Cheers and keeping educating us!
  • @ryanpertusio
    Instead of dragging the email to the calendar button (which degrades the email to plain text), you can click the "Reply with Meeting" button in the Ribbon. (It doesn't degrade email quality, and also adds recipients to the Required/Optional spots on the meeting.)
  • @davidingham2216
    Thanks, Kevin. I have lived in Outlook for much longer than I care to remember so I knew some of these items - others I needed reminding of. I look forward to some more Outlook related content.
  • I hardly write reviews but couldn’t stop myself from writing one for this video. The video helped me a lot while I was stuck in the issue. Thanks a ton.
  • @edwinfndz
    19:09 delayed delivery is also available on the web. But I do the opposite. I work in the middle of the night and I schedule it to be sent during the morning, where I am supposed to be working but instead I am sleeping.
  • @brandonplitt280
    I've used Outlook for years and didn't know a lot of these tips. Thank you for this video. Plus most of these tutorials are boring, you made it interesting.
  • @DaveC2002.
    Hey Kevin, just found your channel and as a newbie W10er I’ve learned so much from you already! Just want to add that I so much appreciate the way you Get straight to the nuts an blots without all the very annoying pre-ambles that are so prevalent on many other channels! Thank You and keep up the great work.
  • @mikeb6824
    Brilliant - all of it. Thank you! One add: I'd suggest Auto Text. Type 3-4 letters, and your entire (preformatted email) pops up!
  • @TylerStanczak
    I really like that you can schedule emails. This is amazing! :)
  • @drjimbarnes
    You're the best, Kevin. Great info, clear and kind delivery.
  • Hi Kevin Great Video. One more tip for the Signatures. One can add an image of a company logo, then highlight the logo and click on the "Link" option, this will open a small window, on the left choose "Existing File or Web Page", then on "Address:" type in your company's URL. One can also add social media links as well and emails in the same way. Although I miss the option to use HTML files for signatures. One can animate their signatures ( I had construction workers assemble my signature). Unfortunately, this was stopped after Outlook 2010, due to malware took advantage of this option.
  • @user-dg2uw8kf5y
    new job uses outlook and the quick part tip is MASSIVE! copying and pasting is never hard, but this saves serious time if i have to send identical confirmations all the time. thanks kevin.
