Outlook Today

Outlook Today takes advantage of a familiar Web page format to display timely information from users' most important folders, including the following:

·         Upcoming appointments

·         Tasks that are due

·         Number of unread messages in e-mail folders

Each item on the Outlook Today page is a hyperlink to the corresponding Outlook item or folder, so users can easily gain access to more specific information about their most pressing engagements.

1. Launch Outlook.

2. Toward the very top of your "Folder List View" pane, click on "Outlook Today". Outlook Today will appear in the right-hand frame.
