If you need to send a copy of the email to the recipient that should not be visible to other recipients, you can add her/his address to Bcc (blind carbon copy). Addresses in the Bcc field are not visible to the recipients in the To and Cc fields, and each other.

Stationery provides an easy way to create a visual Outlook template with custom background color and image, fonts, bullets, colors, and effects. Unlike an email message template that includes both visual appearance and text, the stationery consists of visual appearance only. The default stationery applies to new emails, replies, and forwards. Thus, if you need an Outlook template for branded messages, you should use the custom stationery instead of the email template.

For some Outlook messages, it can be useful to add Voting to collect your colleagues' or friends' votes (see How to add and use voting button in Outlook).

For some e-mail boxes can be very helpful to create a rule that automatically sends a copy of outgoing messages to somebody else. For example, [email protected] or [email protected] mail boxes can send all messages to a supervisor.

Time to time, when you send an email, you need to keep the text of the previous messages intact. E.g., if you use AutoCorrect in Outlook to check errors before sending any message, but you need to keep original text without any changes.

Time to time, when you send an email, you need to be sure that this email has been delivered to the recipient. In Outlook, you can ask for two different receipts: a delivery receipt and a read receipt.

By default, hyperlinks are opened by clicking with pressing or holding Ctrl, but you can turn off this function.

To simplify your work in Outlook, you can send your Calendar to somebody. But sometimes you need to send just one calendar event, and you can do this in Outlook in two clicks!

It is polite to reply to every received message, even if you don't have a time to process the message. For example, if you get lots of CVs and cover letters, you can automatically send a reply to every email, and, just when you have time, process them and send an appropriate email with detailed information.

The Automatic Replies (Out of Office) or Out of Office Assistant feature is not available for non-Exchange accounts. For example, Gmail or other POP3 and IMAP accounts. You can combine an Outlook email template with Outlook rules to simulate the functionality of the Automatic Replies (Out of Office) feature, but do not forget to keep your Outlook running.
