5 Useful Outlook settings

Outlook is one of the commonly use email client programs. Lets look at couple of useful setting or configurations in Outlook 2003 that will help you to manage your emails after you have successfully set up an email account with Outlook 2003.

By default after setting up your email account you need to click send/receive button each time to download new emails from server. You can simple automate it. 

Click on Tools > click on Options > go to Mail Setup tab > Shedule an automatic Send/Receive every 5 minutes. 

You can always change the interval but make sure not to give one minute. Always its better to have 3 minutes to 5 minute interval.

If you have multiple email accounts and if you would like to have different intervals for other accounts you can always define new groups by click in on the New button next to Group Name.

Use outlook to send email from any email account

I have notice outlook have this funny email hack that allows you to send emails from any email address you want. It can be your friends email address or billgates@microsoft.com or any email address you can think of.

How it works?

First you should have a POP3 enabled email account. If do not have POP3 enabled email account, you can create one from Gmail for free. Set up your POP3 account to work with Outlook and I am not going to tell how to set up an email account in outlook here.

Then you need to do a simple change which will let you email from any email you want to.

Go to Tools >
Email Accounts >
View Email Accounts Details >

Then change your name and Email Address as shown in the picture.

 How simple is that. I think this is not a big security issue but someone can misuse it. Please do not misuse it but you can have bit of fun. This works in all Outllook versions.
