How to Keep your Web clippings in Outlook Notes



As you are surfing the Web or reviewing a document, you might come across some information that you want to save for a project that you are working on or for some other future reference.

In the days before computers, ATM machines, and 250+ channels of television, when people wanted to save some information from a newspaper or magazine, they used to cut the articles out by using scissors and then file the information in a folder. Now you can put your scissors away and let Outlook help organize all those electronic clippings by using Outlook Notes.

You've probably noticed the Notes button in the Navigation Pane It sits there lonely while you devote your attention to the Mail, Calendar, and Tasks buttons. It's time for you to get with the program and get more out of Outlook.

1.Click and drag the bar above the Mail button. You can increase or decrease the number of buttons shown by moving the bar. When you make the navigation buttons area smaller, the icons move to the button tray. The icons on the button tray can also be clicked.

2. Click Notes to view all of your Outlook Notes.

Leave e-mail messages on your e-mail server

All the e-mail messages that you receive go through an e-mail server (e-mail server: A computer that stores e-mail messages.) for your e-mail account (e-mail account: The server name, user name, password, and e-mail address used by Outlook to connect to an e-mail service. You create the e-mail account in Outlook by using information provided by your administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).). Depending on the type of e-mail account that you use, your e-mail messages are processed in one or more of the following ways.

1. Messages remain on the server. Outlook connects to the server, and you can read or delete your messages.
2. Messages are downloaded to a local data file called a Personal Folder File (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.). Outlook connects to the local .pst file so that you can read and delete your messages.
3. Copies of messages are downloaded and synchronized with messages on the e-mail server. Microsoft Exchange Server accounts provide this functionality by creating a local Offline Folder File (.ost) (Offline Folder file: The file on your hard disk that contains offline folders. The offline folder file has an .ost extension. You can create it automatically when you set up Outlook or when you first make a folder available offline.). This file is used for working offline when you can't connect or don't want to connect to the e-mail server. This file is also used by the Cached Exchange Mode feature in Outlook 2003.
E-mail account types differ in how e-mail messages are saved and synchronized with the e-mail server. For example, by default POP3 e-mail accounts delete e-mail messages from the e-mail server when downloaded into Outlook. However, you can customize how e-mail messages are retrieved and saved. Other e-mail accounts, such as an Exchange Server e-mail account, save all e-mail messages on the e-mail server by default. You can configure an Exchange Server e-mail account to keep a copy of e-mail messages on your computer that allows you to read e-mail messages when not connected to the Exchange Server.
I have discussed above How to leave Massage on the Server and also want to provide link for Outlook Support and Email Support.

Notes are simple enough to create in Outlook. Anywhere in Outlook, press SHIFT+CTRL+N, and you're ready to type your note. But soon, you'll have a number of electronic versions of your scraps of paper — you've saved a tree and your desk looks neater, but you haven't done much toward getting better organized. Now it's time to combine notes with other Outlook features.

  2. Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the note.
  3. Click Categories, and then select a category from the list or type a new category name.
