á Microsoft« OutlookÖ 98 is the new messaging and collaboration client that helps you do your best work by combining the leading support for Internet standards-based and Microsoft Exchange Server-based e-mail with integrated calendar, contact, and task management features.
In Outlook, information is organized in folders. When you first start Outlook, the Inbox folder opens. Use the Inbox to read and send e-mail messages, meeting requests, and task requests.
To create a message, click the File menu, point to New, and then click Mail Message. Type recipient names in the To and Cc boxes. Type the subject of the message in the Subject box, and then type the message in the text box. When you are ready to send the message, click Send.
To quickly go to another part of Outlook, click a shortcut icon on the Outlook Bar to the left of the Inbox. For example, click Calendar to open your Calendar folder. The Folder Banner (horizontal bar above the information viewer) shows the name of the open folder. To see a complete list of your folders, click the folder name in the Folder Banner.
