Managing Your E-mail

Overview/Description
E-mail has had many positive effects on our lives, but it has also increased dramatically the volume of communication and the amount of information that the average office worker needs to process ever day. To stay on top of things, you must sort, file, respond to, or delete every e-mail that comes to you in the run of a business day.

Tips for using folders and filters to organize e-mails for increased efficiency are addressed, and guidelines on what e-mails are OK to immediately delete are also covered. The course also provides direction on how to recover important information should you lose an e-mail.
