Tech Tips - Organizing Email by Color

Would you like to be able to tell at a glance which of your many emails were being sent just to you and nobody else? (If it's sent just to you, then there's a good chance somebody is waiting on you to respond. If it's sent to lots of people, they may or may not be waiting on you for a response.) If so, there is a way to mark those emails with color. Messages that are sent where you are the only recipient can be shown in RED (or any color you choose) while messages that go to more than one person are shown in BLACK. Here's how to do it:

• In your Outlook Inbox, select Tools from the Menu

• Select Organize

• Choose the "Using Colors" link on the left side of the menu.

• The second bullet says: Show messages sent only to me in ..."

• Click on the drop down arrow and choose a color.

• Then click the "turn on" button.

• Close the Organize window by clicking on the X.

The messages sent only to you should now appear in the color you chose.
