Navigation Pane Inbox Reading Pane To Do Bar
Navigation Pane – In this Mail blah view, the Navigation Pane contains a customizable Favorites area for the most needed folders, as well as a list of all the email folders. To add a folder to the Favorites area, right-click and choose Add to Favorites. At the bottom of the pane you will find buttons to ‘navigate’ to the different areas of Outlook, such as the calendar and contacts. This pane can be collapsed by pushing the < button in the upper right corner of the pane.
Inbox – This area displays the messages that have been sent to you. Unread messages are bolded.
Reading Pane – The reading pane gives you a preview of the selected message. This can be moved to across the bottom or turned off from the View Tab. At the bottom of the Reading Pane is a People Pane. This may show more information about the sender. This can be modified on the View Tab.
To Do Bar – This area shows a calendar of today with a list of upcoming appointments and tasks. This can be turned off from the View Tab. This pane can be collapsed by pushing the > button in the upper left corner of the pane.
Messages (E-mails)
Most of us will use Outlook primarily for e-mails. When we open Outlook it will connect with the server and load all of our incoming messages. New message s will appear bolded and a count of the number of unread emails will be displayed in parentheses next to their folder.
Reading Emails
You can double-click on any part of the email in the list and it will open the email message.
If your reading pane is turned on, you will see a preview of the selected email. As soon as an email is previewed it is marked “READ”. If you don’t want this to happen you can turn off the Reading pane from the View tab, or change the options so that it delays the “Mark items as read”. These options are found under File Tab, Options, Mail, Reading Pane…
