4. Monitor Out-of-Office Messages in Outlook
The first time you send an e-mail message to someone who has turned on his or her out-of-office notification, you'll receive an automated e-mail message to inform you.
At times, it's crucial that you see this notification so you can resend your message to someone else.
By creating a rule that triggers a desktop alert, you'll spot out-of-office notifications as soon as they arrive.
By adding extra conditions to your rule, you can also automatically mark an out-of-office message as read, and then move it from your Inbox to a different folder for later reference.
This way, the next time you're unsure when someone will return from a vacation, for example, you can simply refer back to the out-of-office message that Microsoft Office Outlook automatically filed for you.

5. Look Up People Mentioned in E-Mail Messages in Microsoft Outlook
Here is a common situation: You are reading a long mail thread in the Microsoft Office Outlook preview pane. Because it is a long thread, people have been added and removed from the thread as the e-mail conversation has been passed along. You see the name of a person whom you want to send e-mail to, call, or chat with. But the name is not on the active To or Cc line of the e-mail message, so you have no hyperlinked contact information.

In that case, you can select the full name, right-click, and then click Who Is. If the name appears in your address book, the Outlook Properties window for that person will appear. From there, you can easily find an e-mail address or phone number, or add the person to your instant messaging contacts by clicking Actions.


6. Safe Senders and Junk E-Mail in Microsoft Outlook
In Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, you can add e-mail addresses to a safe recipients list. Messages received from safe recipients, and messages you send to them, will then never be treated as junk e-mail. Here’s how:
1. In an Outlook 2007 mail folder, right-click a message sent to you by the person you want to identify as a safe recipient.
2. Point to Junk E-mail, and then click Add Recipient to Safe Recipients List.
