Outlook: Best practice, hints, tips, secrets

[BRWC]

Hello!

 

First time caller here.

 

I'm going to be running sessions on Outlook with staff in the school I work for, the aim is to show them tips, best practice, etc.

 

Do you have any tips? Things to make their lives easier regarding emails? Achieving 'inbox zero'?

 

Thanks,

 

A

- Zipping files for easier attachment of multiple files

 

I wouldn't do this as many providers do not accepted Zip files.

Yeah fair shout.

 

Any more tips out there to make teachers' lives a bit easier?
