Outlook 2016
How to forward multiple E-mails
Usually, in order to forward a e-mail, you just need to open it and press the Forward button, but not in the
case when you need to forward multiple e-mail at once. Fortunately there is a simple solution.
Adding Data files
Although Outlook automatically creates Data Files as needed when you add accounts, you might want to
add your own Data Files (.pst - files) to a profile. For example, perhaps you use an
Exchange Server account for your primary Outlook store, but want a set of personal folders to serve as an
archive; or perhaps you have an Exchange Server account and are adding a POP3 account.
Set default fonts for E-mails
Outlook enables you to specify default fonts to use for different situations when dealing with e-mail.
Additionally you can individually configure default font settings for composing new e-mail and replying and
forwarding.

How to create a New Distribution List
In Outlook 2016 you wouldn't find a distribution list because it's called now Contact Groups, for
more details see How to create a contact
group in Outlook.
How to set Outlook to download only E-mail headers
Sometimes it is to your advantage to not download an entire e-mail from your mail server, such as when you
have a slow Internet connection or you want to start looking through many e-mail messages for a particular
one as soon as possible. Outlook offers the capability to download only the e-mail header, which includes
the sender and the subject of the e-mail, and display these onscreen before downloading the message itself.
How to auto-reply in Outlook
Let us suppose you will be out of the office for a holiday and want to alert anyone who sends you an e-mail
of that fact so
they'll know when they can expect you to respond. In this case, you can set up Outlook to send an auto-reply
to anyone who sends you a message.
