For those with multiple emails to manage or tons of appointments to keep track of Microsoft Outlook can be a divine blessing. Outlook allows the user to consolidate all of their emails and calendars into one place. The software is also compatible with Microsoft Exchange servers, allowing multiple people to share an email inbox across multiple Outlook accounts, which can be indispensable when working as a team. Most people are already familiar with the Outlook email capabilities, and this is it's most common application. Outlook contains many more features than just email though. As mentioned, Outlook has a built-in calendar feature that can be immensely helpful for those trying to keep all of their appointments and meetings organized in one place that they can reach while on the go. In addition, the program features a very useful notepad and journal that allow you to jot down notes or record important information on the fly. The software features a sleek, if not run of the mill, interface with menus that tuck themselves away to the left of the screen when not in use, and can be pulled back up by a menu button in the top left. Opening your inbox from here will allow you to filter through your mail in a number of ways, and the app even has the capability to reply to emails from anywhere you can access the internet. The menus also let you view and edit your calendar as well as look at any contacts you have stored in your Outlook account. This can be super useful if you have someone's information on Outlook but don't have it saved to your phone yet. Ultimately, Outlook is a very elegant solution to a problem many busy people face. Staying organized when you have multiple emails and calendars can be practically impossible and at times more time to consume than it's worth. By consolidating them all into one place you can substantially simplify your life and stay on track.
