Editor's Notes
- You should pin any document – if it’s stored in the Cloud, you can Pin it.
- You can use this as a replacement for WebEx or Lync
- Important caveats: No special characters in your file name No more than 20,000 files You will have sync errors – there is no getting around that! No executables
- QuickParts allows you to quickly place formatted text into email.
- Clutter uses Machine Learning to see which emails you open. Over time; it will move items that it ‘thinks’ are less important. Note that this folder will be available to you across your devices.
- I use this because of the sheer amount of email I get; it keeps items from getting marked as ‘read’ that aren’t really read. If you use the default settings, then items will get marked as read as you sort through your mail. With these settings, you must stay on a message for 5 seconds before it will be marked as read. By checking the last check box you can progress through your mail by click the space drive.
- These are the default settings that I use for search. You can also change the highlight color if you don’t like yellow! If you manage multiple mailboxes (such as admin role), the you should click All Mailboxes in the “Include Results Only From:” dialogue box.
