RE: Seeking suggestions on how to keep track of emails you are waiting for responses from

[Don Mauck]

One of the things I do is use the follow-up feature, that at least gives me a way to keep track of certain things I need to follow up on..  I’ve been experimenting with setting up reminders about messages I want to keep track of by also setting up to-do lists.  I do however find the follow-up submenu a help.   -- Regards: Don Mauck -- Accessibility matters.

I am writing these emails guessing that you have office 2003/2010 and you are using MS Outlook, not Outlook express, if you are using Outlook express, I am not able to help much because I am using Windows 7. Here we go! I will try my best!     Thanks.   Brendon Donohue.   From: Van Lant, Robin [mailto:robin_van_l...@key.com] Sent: Thursday, 17 April 2014 2:22 AM To: GW-info List - GW Micro (gw-info@gwmicro.com) Subject: Seeking suggestions on how to keep track of emails you are waiting for responses from  < /o:p> Hi, Here at work I often send emails that I want to stay on top of to ensure I get a response ̵! 1; requested information or action from another person not just a read receipt.   In my old email client, I had a system that worked pretty well that allowed me to save a 2nd copy of an email was sending to a follow-up folder, not just the sent mail folder..  When I looked in this follow-up folder, I’d see who the email was too, the subject and so forth, so it was easy to see who I was waiting on and the topic.  In Outlook, emails can only reside in one folder, unless you send a copy to yourself and then move that copy to a new folder.    This is incorrect, you can create a folder and move the email into these folders, you can even setup message list rules. If you use shift+F10 from the message list, you will find settings to do this.! Downside of that is that I wouldn’t see who the email is to at a glance, just that it was from me and the topic.    You can turn on extra columns to display this information. The column you want is not turned on by default.   I’m going thru some tutorials on categories and flags in Outlook.  They  seem pretty cool, but fairly visually based.  I’m trying to use flags to add emails to my to-do list in Outlook for follow up.  It’s not great, but doable as it only displays the email subjec t line and I have to go back into sent mail to add the flag after it’s sent.&n! bsp;   Yes, this is correct.   Wondering if any of you  have found better options for this.      No. This is the most efficient way to manage your mail box of emails.     Robin Van Lant | Sr. Program Manager Strategy & Performance Management | Key Equipment Finance 720-304-1060 | robin_van_l...@key.com   This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
