Outlook - Sorting & searching your mails Tutorial
In this video, you will learn about sorting and searching your mails in Microsoft Outlook.
The video covers how to use the search and sorting tools in Outlook to easily find and organize your emails.
By default, Outlook sorts messages by date of receipt, but you can also sort by sender, size, category, and more.
The search function in Outlook is a powerful tool that allows you to find items by word, name, or other criteria.
You can refine your search by adding criteria such as attachments, sender, date, and recipient.
This tutorial will help you efficiently manage your emails and find specific messages in Outlook.

Introduction to Email Management in Outlook
Managing the volume of emails can be challenging, especially when we receive a consistent influx of messages. This guide will explore how to utilize Outlook's sorting and search tools to efficiently organize and locate emails. -
Sorting Emails
Outlook provides various sorting options to help you organize your emails effectively. By default, emails are sorted by the date of receipt, indicated by a small arrow in the 'Received' column. You can sort emails by different criteria by clicking on the column headers, such as: - **From**: Sorts emails by the sender's name. - **Size**: Organizes emails based on their size. - **Category**: Groups emails by assigned categories. - **Flag Presence**: Sorts emails based on whether they have flags. Remember to return to sorting by date to keep the most recent emails at the top of your list. -
Using the Search Function
The search function in Outlook is a powerful tool for finding specific emails. You can access this feature at the top of your message list, and it is also available in the calendar, contacts, and tasks modules. To perform a search: 1. Enter a keyword, term, or name in the search field. 2. A contextual tab will appear, offering additional search tools. 3. As you type, Outlook will immediately start displaying results, highlighting the searched word in yellow. The search encompasses the subject, description, and sender or recipient names. -
Refining Search Results
If your initial search yields too many results, you can refine your search using the following criteria: - **Has Attachments**: Filter results to show only emails with attachments. - **Sender**: Narrow down results by specifying the sender's name. - **Date**: Limit results to a specific date range. - **Recipient**: Search for emails sent to a particular recipient. Conversely, if you have too few results, you can extend your search beyond the current folder to include: - Subfolders of the current folder. - All mailboxes. - All Outlook items, which encompasses emails, calendar entries, contacts, and tasks. -
Conclusion
By utilizing Outlook's sorting and search functionalities, you can significantly enhance your email management skills. These tools not only help in organizing your inbox but also in quickly locating important emails, thereby improving your overall productivity.
