HowTo: Sort Outlook Email With Keyboard Shortcuts

by Tim Cull

I finally broke down and set up a macro to let me sort through my morning email without actually touching a mouse. It’s not exactly rocket science, but it does require a quick Google search, which I hope to save you here:

Step 1: Copy and paste a macro off the Internet like this one for moving an Outlook email to a different folder:

Step 2: Set up a custom Outlook tool bar and name it so it has a keyboard shortcut

Step 3 (possibly optional): Digitally sign your Outlook macro. I didn’t actually have to do this step, though it seems like I should have had to.

I got a good start on these steps from this post about creating Outlook email shortcuts, but its link to a macro is broken.
