How to automatically save drafts of emails in Outlook 2010
I know that there are times while writing an email, you may get a phone call or get called away to a meeting right in the middle of writing of the email. Then Murphy’s Law takes over and the power goes off of someone turns off your computer and then you lose your email that you have been diligently working on for some time. This really stinks but I am sure this has happens to most of us. There is good news though…..
Just like in Microsoft Word, you can setup an auto save in Microsoft Outlook 2010. After this is setup, it will automatically save a draft every XX minutes. Here is how you can set this up:
- Start Microsoft Outlook
- Click File
- Click Options
- Click Mail on the left hand side
- Scroll down to the Save Messages section
- Check the box labeled Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes
- Choose the number of minutes that you want Outlook to automatically save
- Click OK
