Editors' Review
While the primary function of Microsoft Outlook 2010 is to send and receive e-mail, it offers a host of useful tools to manage tasks, meetings, contacts, and more.
One of the standout features of Outlook 2010 is the Conversation View. This feature puts related emails in one thread. This grouping makes it easy to follow email conversations and helps keep the inbox neat.
Another helpful feature is Quick Steps. This tool allows you to set up shortcuts for tasks you do often. For example, you can quickly move emails to a specific folder or reply to messages using a preset template with just one click.
Outlook 2010 also enhances how you connect with your social networks. The Outlook Social Connector pulls in updates and shows details about the people emailing you. This makes it simpler to see information about your contacts right inside your email.
The Navigation Pane is another key feature. It lets you customize how you view your mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks. This customization makes it easier to navigate through Outlook and find what you need fast.
The Backstage View is a special part of Outlook that helps with managing account settings and handling tasks like printing and saving files. This area simplifies these common tasks.
The Quick Access Toolbar can be customized to include buttons for the commands you use most often. Adding these commands to the toolbar saves time.
Outlook 2010 also offers good tools for managing multiple calendars. This is especially useful if you need to keep track of different schedules, which can be crucial in a team setting.
The interface of Microsoft Outlook 2010 is nicely designed, but it is packed with options. Users new to Outlook should expect to spend some time with the Help file to take advantage of all it has to offer. For the basics, including e-mail, the calendar, and tasks, one-click access minimizes the learning curve. While it continues to allow users to receive e-mail from multiple accounts and easily switch from one to the other, this version greatly expands its social media integration. There's more information tied to the people in your contact list than just the typical information of name, e-mail, and other basic contact information. Microsoft Outlook 2010 has also beefed up its spam filtering and we found it to be more effective at blocking phishing e-mail attempts.
Bottom Line
Overall, we liked the upgrades and additions to Microsoft Outlook 2010, but this also increases its learning curve and complexity. It's more than the casual user might need to just send and receive e-mail, but for busy executives it's a great tool to manage multiple e-mail accounts, appointments, and tasks.
