If you find yourself wanting to change the default font for your Microsoft Outlook emails or perhaps want to unify the style as a part of a broader branding effort, there is a quick way to do it.
If you use Teams for your phone system, you get quite a lot of control over your own account to set up things like voicemail and forwarding. This is particularly useful if you are going on leave and want to either set all your calls to go to voicemail or redirect them to someone else. You can customise your voicemail greeting in much the same way as you set an Out Of Office auto reply on your emails.
If you need to search for emails, Outlook is pretty good, but it has its limits. Not least of all, it only goes back so far. When you search in Outlook desktop it’s looking through the emails that it has downloaded and cached on your computer, which is usually no more than 2 years worth, maybe less. If you need to search further back, you’ll need to get into the webmail version, which will display all results from your mailbox.
Have you noticed that every time you create a meeting in Outlook and invite someone else it always creates a Teams meeting as well? This can be 1) useful if you use Teams a lot, 2) a bit annoying if you don’t, it’s just a reminder or an in-person meeting or 3) inconvenient if you use Zoom or other meeting plugins because Teams gets primacy and attendees may join the wrong meeting.
