Email Messages"

Tip1 : Finding Email Message Quickly

You can search for a specific e-mail message in Microsoft® Office Outlook® without expanding the Search box. In the Outlook Search box, type your target.

For example, to find a particular e-mail message from John Smith, type from: John Smith. This will instantly list e-mail messages from that person, but not messages that contain his name. This tip also works for other criteria, such as folders. For example, folder:
expenses will instantly list only those folders that contain “expenses” as the subject.

Tip2 : View By Conversation

Usually, you see e-mail messages In the order in which they arrive. But if you need to read the background of a message, switch to Conversation view to see the rest of the thread. In Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, click View, click Arrange By, and then click Conversation.

b. Click the New button, assign a name to the new group schedule, and then dick OK.
c. Add your team-mates in the Group Members column (Just as you would in a meeting request).
d. Click Save, and then dick Close.

2. Use your group schedule to create a meeting request.
a. From your Outlook Calendar view, click Actions, and then click View Group Schedules from the menu bar.
b.
Select the group schedule that you defined from the list, and then
click Open. Now you can see the free/busy Information from all your
team mates without having to select them individually in a meeting
request.
c. Find a free slot and select It.
d. Click Make meeting, and then click New meeting with All. A new meeting request will then open, prefilled with
all your team mates on the to line.

Windows 7 Download Limit Removed

Concerned you may have waited too long to download Microsoft's Windows 7 public beta and missed the boat? Don't be. Following a deluge of download requests that initially took out Microsoft's servers forcing the company to temporarily halt downloads, Microsoft now says it has removed the 2.5 million download limit originally put in place.

"Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience," wrote Brandon LeBlanc, a Windows Communications Manager on the Windows Client Communications Team, on The Windows Blog. "We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit."

Microsoft hasn't said how many users have already downloaded Windows 7, but according to Net Applications, IE8 beta 2, which is included in Windows 7 beta, spiked from .82 percent on Friday to .98 percent on Saturday, and then 1.01 percent on Sunday, setting a new record level for the browser.

If you haven't already, you can download the Windows 7 beta here.
