How to Fix your Messy Outlook Inbox

We’ve all spent hours searching for one important email amongst the trash we call an email inbox. But it is time for a change!

There are many tips and tricks that can be used to clean up your messy inbox…

With Outlook it is possible to pin certain emails to the top of your inbox that need special attention, so when that important email from your bank comes through it will be up front and centre of your inbox.

To turn on auto-pin for emails that are received from a specific email address (eg. Your bank, mother, etc.) Look for an email sent from that address, click on more commands, choose “create rule” and make sure the condition for “it was received from” is both selected and has your bank, mothers, etc. name in it.

Look through the conditions, remove any that don’t apply to you and then click the “move the message to folder” drop-down menu. After selecting “pin the message” hit OK in the left corner.

Great! Now you know how to master the Outlook pin!
