Reach out with contact groups (distribution lists)

If you often send email to the same group of people, you can save time by using a distribution list, which is called a contact group in Outlook. Instead of typing out everyone’s address whenever you email the group, just type the name of the contact group. Here’s how to create one.

Track email with read receipts

In Outlook 2013, you can request delivery and read receipts when you send a message. Why? To make sure the recipients get it and open it, if you’re not sure about the email address or if the recipients check their email, or maybe you’d just like to know the message got through. Whatever the case, adding a request is easy to do.

Password protect your mailbox

With Outlook and Windows, multiple people can protect their email on one shared computer. First, there’s sharing at work and home. In this scenario, people can protect their email with their own password-protected Windows user accounts. The second scenario is sharing a public computer, where the best way to protect your email is by using the Outlook Web App or some other browser-based email app.
