Formatting Inbox to Hightlight Important Mail (Video)

May 14, 2014

As we struggle to get control of our inboxes, wouldn’t it be nice if mail that were more important to us stood out more in the mail list, and mail less important were perhaps grayed out? There are ways to do that in the Windows Outlook desktop application, and this video I just made will give you some ideas.

    I can’t see the video due to our corporate firewall blocking the content – is there something in writing I can review?

      Rob, sorry, no writing on this, the message and steps really are very visually intensive. Maybe watch it at home? Or in the office, borrow for a few minutes a friend’s iPad with a cellular connection? just some thoughts.

    Lately, my email has turned into complete chaos — a pile of letters from friends, work, spam, and important messages just getting lost. I saw this video from Linenberger about formatting in Outlook, where less critical letters are grayed out and key ones are highlighted, and I tried it right away. It really works, and my brain stops getting tired from scrolling! Now, when I finally get around to sorting through my inbox in the evening and feel in control, I just want to relax for real. So I go to https://www.nastyhookups.com/ — there you can quickly find someone for a light, carefree meeting with no strings attached. It’s like the perfect continuation: first, order in your head, and then a pleasant distraction without unnecessary drama.
