Email Tips

Is your email running slower than usual? It could be that your mailbox has too many messages. A large number of messages can contribute to slowness.

Are your important messages just sitting in your inbox unorganized? Microsoft Outlook has a way to help get your important messages organized while increasing the speed of your mailbox.

Here are some steps you can take to help speed up and organize your email:

1. Delete any messages that you do not need. This includes any "Sent" messages you no longer need.

2. Be sure to empty your "Deleted" messages box as this also counts against your mailbox storage.

3. Create "Personal Folders" to store messages you would like to keep. Messages stored here do not count against your mailbox storage. Click here for instructions on how to create "Personal Folders" and ensure they are stored to a safe location.

4. If you have already created "Personal Folders," click here to ensure they are being saved to a safe location.
