E-mail Quick Tips

1. To lookup employee email addresses faster:
   When adding a recipient to the "TO", "CC", and "BCC" fields, you can simply type a portion of the recipient's name and press CTRL + K to resolve the recipient's name with the Global Address List. This is much faster than searching through the directory for each recipient.
2. To change the number of messages allowed on each page in OWA:
   Select OPTIONS (bottom-left corner), and scrolling down to MESSAGING OPTIONS. Change the "Number of items to display per page" from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 100.
3. To quickly view any message attachments, right-click on the attachment link and select "OPEN". When prompted you can save it directly to your local drive or view before saving.
   Emailing large attachments to recipients in the same office will waste precious storage space within your mailbox. Simply copy these files to a network share point, allow the intended recipient to copy them, and then delete them when you are done.
4. For users who want to view a multi-day calendar,
   you can ctrl-Click multiple days and they will be added to your calendar in the order that you click them.
5. OWA takes up too much room on my screen and I have to use the scrollbars to view everything.
   Users that have small or low resolution screen settings can press F11 to enter 'full-screen' mode within their browser. This will make a significant difference on smaller screens and enable users to utilize more of the system with less scrolling. Once you're finished, simply hit F11 again to 'toggle' out of full-screen mode.
