You can now use Outlook to send and receive emails. You should keep your email organized and sort it into folders. Delete emails you do not need as they come in, and delete folders with emails as the tasks they are related to are completed. Remember to archive what needs to be archived. You can also set up automatic deletion of emails in specific folders based on their age. ¡ú See UiO's best tips: Help, I need to clean up my email.
