Creating And Sending E-mail Messages
Level 1
Outlook enables you to send e-mail messages to people sharing the company network or on the Internet. The Inbox, as the name suggests, is the computerized equivalent of the traditional in-tray. All incoming messages are placed in the Inbox folder; you can then read, print, reply to or forward these messages as required. When you compose a new e-mail message, Outlook opens an Untitled Message window with all the tools required to create and send the message, as shown below.
Three main items you must enter in an e-mail message: Recipients Email Address: You can enter the e-mail address manually by typing it or by clicking the To or Cc buttons to select an address from Contacts. To: Send the message to the selected person. Cc: Send a `Carbon Copy of the message to the selected person. Message Body: Type your message here in the same way you type a Word document. If you are using Word as the e-mail editor, you can use the standard Word features, e.g. Spelling and Grammar checker, font formatting, paragraph formatting, tables, themes etc. Subject: Write a brief and concise subject to indicate the purpose of the message.

Flagging Messages And Color Categories
Level 1
Flagging a message adds a flag icon to it. Use flags to remind you to follow up on an issue or to indicate a request for someone else. You can also use flags to set a reminder in a message you send.
With the flagged message, a comment on the purpose of the flag appears at the top of the message. If you set a reminder for the flag, the date will also appear at the top of the message.
When a message is flagged, you can see a flag or flag as completed icon in the Flag icon Status column. The icon means the message is not flagged. Color Categories, new in Outlook 2007, adds visibility to your Outlook items. After you associate a color with a color category and then assign the color category to different yet related items, the items are easier to identify and organize.
The category color appears in the message header helps you to quickly identify items based on their category. For example, you can keep track of all the meetings, contacts, and messages for the Project 2008 when you create a category named Project 2008 and assign items to it.
