Outlook: add a note to the mail - how it works
Received mails can be classified with labels in Outlook, but not so easy to add notes. To add notes to mail, use the little-known public messaging feature, which is primarily intended for project team collaboration in an Exchange server environment. We explain how this works easily.
Add Outlook note to mail
- The quickest way to reach this function in a message folder is to mark the desired e-mail using the key combination [Ctrl] + [T].
- In the following message window, type in a »subject« and the note itself. Finally, click on "Public Message".
- The note then appears as a separate message over time. If you have configured the view by conversation, this note is assigned to the previously selected message.
- Note: Via the menu via "New elements" and "Further elements"> "Post public message in this folder" you create the new note independently of another message in the respective folder. This is helpful if you have sorted your e-mails into different folders, for example for a project.
By the way, in Outlook you can also easily add a vacation notice. In this way, the senders of incoming mails are informed of your absence.
