Outlook Shortcuts For The "Inbox View"
Outlook Shortcuts For The "Inbox View"
Inbox View is the default view in Outlook where we can see the read and
unread messages in our inbox.
When I open Outlook and I'm ready to create a new email, I'll use "Ctrl" +
"Shift" + "M" to open a new message.
"Ctrl" + "O" gives me a quick way to open a received message that I've
selected.
4. Select all
If I want to select all of my messages in Outlook, I can use "Ctrl" + "A." This
gives me a quick way to delete batches of emails at a time.
5. Delete item
I can also use "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "G" to flag a message for follow up or to
remind me to take another look.
You can use "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "L" and "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "O" to jump between
the inbox and outbox, respectively.
11. Go to the Search box
Need to search for something in your inbox? Just press "F3" to bring your
cursor straight to the Search box. Can't find what you're searching for?
Here are some specific tips for searching in Outlook.
12. Reply
I use "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "R" to reply all. But should you reply all? Find
out here.
14. Forward
When I already have a message open, and want to read through the rest of
my messages quickly, I can use "Ctrl" + "." to switch to the next message.
18. Send
Or, if you're not quite ready, use "Ctrl" + "S" to save it as a draft.
I use "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "L" to begin a bulleted list. You can also use an
asterisk and hit "Tab" to change it to a bullet.
21. Insert a hyperlink
"Ctrl" + "L"
"Ctrl" + "E"
"Ctrl" + "R"
23. Spellcheck
For those especially important emails, I'll use "F7" to run a quick spellcheck
before sending.
Occasionally I'll write my subject line after I write out my email, or I'll need
to make a change. I can use "Alt" + "J" to hop back to the Subject field.
25. Close the active window
28. Go to a date
