The Drafts folder in Outlook stores email messages you've started but haven't yet sent. When creating a new email message, every three minutes Outlook will automatically save it as a draft. In addition to this auto-save feature, you can manually save a draft at any time, and are prompted to save a message that you attempt to close without sending.
If you want to send an email message to a group of people who are part of a Winnefox distribution list but wondered how to find the email address of the list, here are the steps to do it in Outlook:
1. First compose your email message & add a subject line.

3. Click on the distribution list to which you want to send your email message.

If you've got folders set up in Outlook and prefer to arrange them in order of importance (instead of Outlook's default alphabetical order), you've probably already found that Outlook won't let you drag & drop folders to display them the way you want.
A way to get around this is to rename a folder with a prefix of a number or a letter.
If you find yourself writing similarly-worded email messages multiple times, consider saving that message as a template in Outlook, so you can re-use that content in the future. Here's how:
When someone sends you an email message that has multiple attachments, there's an easy way to save them all to your computer and get them out of your email inbox.
