- [Instructor] Sometimes you have a message come in
that's important and you want to make sure
that you work with it.
But then even more messages are coming in
and your important message is getting shoved down the inbox.
Each time you want to find it.
You have to scroll farther to find it.
And dealing with that reality is why
there's a pin feature in Outlook.
If you point to a message
and you actually have to point to it
not just have it selected, there's a pin button right here
and if I pin a message, it will be kept here
at the top of my information viewer above everything else.
So if I want to get back to this message, it's really easy.
It's right here, and it will remain pinned until I unpin it.
If I unpin it, it drops back in where it was previously.
If I want to pin, for example, this information
about a teams meeting recording, I can pin it
and it will go all the way up to the top of my page.
It will appear above today or this week,
yesterday, and so on.
Click the pin to pin, click the pin to unpin.
Now, another possibility is I have a message
that I want to read, but I don't have time to read it now.
And this is particularly
for folks who are going toward inbox zero.
They want to make sure
that there are very few items in their inbox
they're managing them as they come in, taking action
putting dates on a calendar, tasks on a list, and so on.
But there's a message that you want to get back to
and you don't want it to sit in your inbox right now
but you don't want to move it somewhere else either.
And that's what Snooze is for.
I can say, actually show this to me later today, tomorrow
this weekend, next week, or even at a particular time.
So if I choose later today, 10:00 PM then this message
from Microsoft Viva, which is my private digest
is going to go away until 10 o'clock tonight.
So I just choose later today
and it actually will be redelivered to me.
And you might think, shoot, where did it go?
What if I have time
before 10 o'clock and I want to look at it?
Well, as soon as I snooze a message
there's a folder called Snoozed, and all
of my snoozed items are living in here.
And they even tell you when they will be coming back up.
So if you accidentally snooze something, or
if you have time that you didn't know you were
going to have to review snoozed items
just open the snoozed folder.
And here are your emails that you snoozed.
Pinning and snoozing are used
for two different types of situations for making sure
that important messages don't get lost in your inbox
by pinning them to the top or making sure
that messages are delivered when you have time to view them.
