Like many people, I use an Outlook/Exchange combo at work. There are some great things about it and some sucky things about it. Anyway, I just learned a new trick today that should have been incredibly obvious but that I never figured out. So I figured I’d share.
If you drag an email to the “Tasks” button on the Outlook Bar, Outlook will create a new task using the subject and body of the email. I was using an orange flag on emails to indicate my “To do” items (because 99% of my work is assigned via email). Now I can actually integrate it into that whole task system that Outlook already had.
