Create a Folder in Outlook
Sandra Perley

Want to keep a copy of that email message?  We all receive messages we need to keep, like minutes from a meeting or a message from administration or messages from students that we would like to keep for documentation purposes.  You don’t have to print it out and save it in a folder in your office.  You can create folders in Outlook and store them for when you need them again.  I have a folder for each committee to save minutes so I don’t have to print them.  I have a folder to keep email messages from students that I want to save for documentation.  I even have a folder where I save kind and uplifting messages from students.  And I never have to print them; they are there for me to read whenever I need them.

To create a folder to store email in Outlook:

1. Open Outlook
2. Select “File”
3. Select  “Folder”

4. Select  “New Folder”
5. Type in the name you would like to give your folder

6. Highlight the “Inbox” so the folder will go into that section
7. Select “OK” and you have a folder for that topic

8. Click and drag the email to the new folder.
9. Now the email is stored for you whenever you need to refer to it.

Hope this helps you diminish clutter and save a tree.
